If it was my truck (I live in Tennessee, things where you are may be different), I'd take the data plate that is on it now off and leave it at the house, then drive to DMV and get the title for my 1969 Kaiser-Jeep, showing them the frame number as the VIN. NOT having a builder's plate wouldn't...

I'm not Medlog, but from the ID number your truck is a 1974 AM General M35A2C dropside cargo without winch. Regards, David Doyle

Great haul!!!

RE: Need help figuring out what year my duece is. The chassis was assembled in November-December 1968, or early 1969.

RE: Need help figuring out what year my duece is. the triangular tag is stamped with a MWO (Modification Work Order) number- probably saying seat belts were installed. Boy, I'd sure like to have the complete original bed off this truck.... HOWEVER, this brings up an interesting theoritical...

Re: RE: Need help figuring out what year my duece is. Your truck (and the M35, and a host of other 6x6s) SHOULD be considered in G-742 - but since sometime in the 1960s few people have used such designations, resulting in a great deal of confusion. Your truck is a M45A2 - and should be...

RE: Need help figuring out what year my duece is. Based on the mfr serial number you posted, your truck was built as a M46A2 chassis, not a cargo truck. I have darn little data on this type chassis, however, the registration number 4B9775 does not "look" right (registration numbers from this...

IF your car stays outside - you won't be happy with the Gillespie - it least that is the case from my experience. Keep it in a closed garage - then Gilespie is the way to go. Regards, David

Two answer your question about is the flat OD and making it semigloss - not really, while in THEORY the color is identified by the last four digits of the FS number, the reality is the FS 595A 24087 is one of the few exceptions to this rule - FS 34087 is NOT the same color. There is a stick at...

At idle are there any exhaust gases visible leaving the engine (other than through the exhaust pipe). I ask because your symptoms are similar to those I experienced once with a bent pushrod....and another symptom was the pressurizing of the crankcase. (Intake was opening, and 22:1 compression...

Granted, Darryl Greenamyer's attempt was serious, and he is certainly well-qualified (he is a well-respected aviator).....which ties exactly to my point. In this instance, being in a hurry and "rigging" a fuel system to the APU ultimately cost the world the aircraft....and could have easily cost...

Could this thread be retitled "recovery gone bad"? Seriously, a rare aircraft was lost through what amounts to being careless, and "rigging" something rather than following procedures. A lot of the aviation forums provide a lot of details of this incident, as does the book HUNTING WARBIRDS, By...

Does your truck have an open cab, or a closed cab?

Guys, a friend of mine contacted me this evening seeking the whereabouts of this gun truck replica. Anybody seen this vehicle at a show or in a museum? Thanks, David Doyle

Take a look at the current thread about crane operation. I suspect you are missing the same air control he is - and a photo of the gone part is included. DD

A lot of the trucks with Cummins engines found in this area are stuck. The high humidity enters the engine and they rust. LDTs don't seem as prone to this, probably due to the turbo baffling this somewhat. If it were mine, I'd not toss in the towel yet - I bet it can be worked free. My .02...

Re: RE: manual RAM! I am surprised at you - Dennis was also co-founder of Military Vehicles Magazine - a title I'm partial to myself :) Deniis does top notch work and is a super guy - and genuinely without his efforts (both in manuals and in the hobby itself) this would be a very different...

RE: Re: Question on a "sprag" trabsfer case I'd say with a large degree of confidence that you need to adjust your transfer case linkage. There is a sticky posted in this forum that tells you how to do this. HTH, David Doyle

RE: Re: M35A2 PLASTIC MODEL KIT (WANTED) I've done considerable work for modeling magazines (and used to operate a hobby shop)....the M49A2C was made by AFV Club as well. AFV may have discontinued the kit - but that is about like say Continental has discontinued making LDT parts. Yes, but LDT...
