As said earlier I won't be there but doghead will haul stuff that is pre-sold (within reason) so here goes:
NOS hot water personnel heater kit for M35 or similar, $250 (M809 style air diverter available for $20 more) (SOLD)
NOS normally aspirated multifuel muffler, $35
M113 APC style tow...
I have the adjustable bucket from the driver side of an M1010 ambulance. I thought I had the passenger one too but haven't spotted it up on a shelf or pallet rack. I won't be coming but I think doghead would bring it.
Pm me if you are interested.

Look in the back of the -10 TM and you will find the loooong list of BII items. Darn few of them ever surface at MV shows and you could spend a long time hunting down the whiffletrees, boom braces, snatch blocks etc.
Inspect, inspect, inspect... You can drop a lot of dollars, time and...
You should also PM FormerNewMVGuy. If I remember right he has a relative with a couple of transmission shops and was using straight ATF in his deuces.

More thoughts on repowering an M809 series truck:
Add the cost of a different bell housing, fabrication of a new oil pan, , possible relocation of the oil pump pick up due to the new pan profile, air intake and turbo duct work and the relocation or the air cleaner etc, finding a place for the...
Contact Hobart. About 10 years ago we were working on a 1942 Navy generator set and after calling them they photocopied and mailed me a manual for the electrical end. Mine has a Hercules engine.
I would start with these guys:

Considering that a patient person can buy a running M813 for around $3K a rough, low on power chopped up cab and chassis with funky paint is going to be a hard sell at $2K. Especially if there is no title or transferable registration with the truck.
If one were to scrap it at today's prices...
On the way back from the Gilbert show on Sunday AM I decided to see what mileage the M35A2C w/w was getting with the S-280 camper in it and towing an M105 trailer at around 4,000 pounds. The S-280 likely weighs about 2,600 pounds. I was interested in how much the taller profile of the shelter...
Duane, it could well have been Ed and I that had the original M715 cargo cover. The only M715 canvas we have left, unless something is hiding in the pallet racks or in the loft, is a cab cover and a cargo cover. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you Ed's contact info. If you guys work out a deal be...
We will be in A38-41 about 50 yards to the right as you come in the main gate. We aren't bringing the camper but will have an M1008 and an M35A2C with an S-280 camper in it.
I'm looking for:
11.00R20 tubes and flaps. 4 tubes and 5 flaps.
M915 and M809 (M813) air filters.
Silicone brake fluid...
If a vehicle is at least 25 years old you can tag it as a historical vehicle . That would get around the commercial vehicle bit. You couldn't use it for any commercial purpose, though, and your town may have an axle count or some other issue to deal with. It is likely better to check before...
No, I don't but a good part of Long Island is still cleaning up from Irene and the major rain last week from Lee didn't help matters. They could very well be dealing with that still.

Well, I just fund out that I won't be able to make it this time. Nancy and I are heading to North Carolina that week to look at some possible retirement properties and to visit some family. I'll have to wait and see what spring brings.
