    deuce a/c project

    Where are you going to run the refrigerant lines with it mounted up high like that? I intend to mount my compressor like yours but use an under-dash AC and Heat unit found here: UD-105HC Under-Dash Heat and Air Evaporator Unit - Underdash Evaporator Units It will require some modification to...

    Any Oklahoma Deuce owners wanna give a newbie a tour of their rig?

    Sure! I'm in Edmond and my shop is in OKC. I've got a bobbed deuce and just purchased another deuce last week that I'll have in a couple of weeks. Mike Waldron 405-820-1862

    Look what the Deuce found!

    I don't know what it was, but the more important question is; What can you use it for now that you are the proud owner of "it"? Mike Waldron

    Dash Data Plate for Bobbed M35A2

    Howdy All, I ran across, here on the site, info about the XM381. If you don't know, that's the "bobbed" deuce that the military experimented with in the '50s but never produced. Using the XM381 info and my own truck, I made a bobbed deuce data plate. Since mine isn't experimental, I dropped...

    You probably will be ok with your transfer case for awhile. Mine had a loud whine. I drove it until the noise changed suddenly. At that point I had balls, not cage, in the fluid! So, if the sound changes, I'd stop real soon! Mike Waldron

    Parts

    I looked at your e-bay link, and I do know these guys. Their primary business is a salvage yard for European sports cars. I've purchased lots of Jaguar parts and a couple of wrecked cars from them. Overall they are decent folks. I will say that one of the things they do is "rebuild" wrecked...

    Parts

    One of my other hobbies/addictions is messing with old cars, mostly Jaguars. There is an organization of Jaguar car clubs called "JCNA". I've purchased several cars off of e-bay, and I always have contacted a club in the area of the e-bay car I was buying to get a club member to do an...

    Do we have an official Bobbed Deuce picture thread? If not, here it is! Post em!

    Hey there's no doubt, I wear the pants in the family..... well at least while I'm goofing off in the shop. And heck, if I was in charge at home I might also have to be in charge of vacuuming the carpet!

    Do we have an official Bobbed Deuce picture thread? If not, here it is! Post em!

    Here's mine! It lives at the house, with the wife, and she said no camo-green paint allowed in the driveway! So mine is painted a more "civilized" grey. Mike Waldron

    Airshift transfer, repair or replace?

    Having thought about it a little while, I'd check the front cluch and the air shift mechanism. My truck has a sprag clutch and if you let it roll backwards while in a forward gear or vice-versa in will "wind-up", the way you describe, when you try to take off. I don't know if the air-shift...

    Airshift transfer, repair or replace?

    I just finished replacing all the input shaft bearings on my transfer case and the job wasn't that bad or expensive. The input shaft runs on two ball bearings, one in front and one in back. The low speed and high speed input gears each have a pair of ball bearings in them that allow them to...

    A question for people with M37 and bobbed deuce.

    I haven't driven an M37 but I did just finish bobbing my first Duece. I've done the standard bob job, M105 trailer bed and springs with flipped hubs. I've also added a NAPA muffler, insulated the underside of the transmission tunnel, rubber boots on the gearshift, transfer case and steering...

    Where to get Data plates?

    I sent a couple of e-mails off to mvdataplates.com, trying to find out how to pay for a set of M35 plates and got no response. Is that the "guy on the internet" that you tried?

    APPEL'S bobbed deuce

    I picked up my first M35a2 Saturday and it's a hoot! I intend on bobbing it, using a M105 trailer bed like everyone else. I am considering using the M105 spring hangers and springs with a spacer, it looks like that's what you did. Am I correct about your springs? Mike Oklahoma
