    Military vehicles at car shows

    you are pretty much going somewhere in it every weekend aren't you? I suppose this time of year you almost have to cause once the snow flies outdoors car shows aren't as much fun. Us MV hobbist wouldn't be afraid to take-em out, but not too sure the guys putting extra coat of wax on before the...

    Answer to the age old question-m35a2

    Put the M35 into service and saved a m211! Took me roughly 60 miles of dirt road to get her home. The deuce performed flawlessly. I needed the front axle's help a few times through bad road conditions. Also passed by a small town vfd that had 4-m35 out and I think one m211.

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    jasonjc, thanks for tow bar, worked awesome! I tried posting something on your classified page for a testimony , but it wouldn't let me. I just used 7/8" pins to hook to the bumper. I unhooked the feet to check for wear, and after 60miles of gravel, they showed little wear. I have been told, by...

    The last of them. Happy to report that this truck was saved. He had some offers on it, but many for people looking for a 302 for racing or the axles!

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Well finally got the old dog home. I would've sent you guys some arrival pics, but would've needed a night vision camera! What would be a 40mile trip turned into a backroad trip of 60! My flagger lady had an unexpected meeting, so I didn't wanna risk too much traffic, relative to Montana that...

    G749 preservation

    Looks like using the tow hooks on that deuce is a pretty handy way to display some flags in wind!

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Measuring the m35 pins I came up with an average of .990". The openings on my bumper brackets were about .005-.010" larger, so they were pretty darn close tolerance I would say. Granted both had rust on them, and my caliper battery was dead so I measured the pin opening using the caliper and...

FATSCO (www.fatsco.net) - they have 3 types of Hydramatic...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    One other question I have-are the brackets on the front bumper, where the tow hooks reside-are the pins that hold the hooks, are they 1" pins or 15/16" pins? On my m35 they are 1", but I have concern that they may be 15/16". If so I'll have to machine some sleeves into the 1" pinned feet that I...

    G749 Trucks hard to come by

    Really, these trucks can be push started with an automatic? That's awesome. These trucks seem harder to get to know then a m35, these have some many little secrets, no wonder they are the Cadillac of deuces. It was also recommended to me to back the brakes off. I was planning on pulling the diff...
