I swapped out the driver door for a NOS one. What a pain in the arse that was (doing it alone). Stripped 4 of the 8 hinge bolt heads. Door is not adjustable, other than by gently "persuading" and I am still not happy how it sits. Also, the hinges have hinge PINS, not BOLTS and the pin is so...

These guys have the carb kit you are looking for: https://carbkitsource.com/kits/ck0532.html Alfaheaven seems to have a few parts, too: http://www.alfaheaven.com/MilitarySection/6x6%20Trucks/M35.html#M35Gas_Engine

Karl Kostman, that nanme was what I needed! Fender beading or fender welt. Plenty of sources, 1/4 inch bead, 1 1/2 inches wide. Hard to search for stuff without the right name! Updated title; maybe it helps someone else.

Fender weatherstripping/body gasket - fender welt - fender bead I know I saw it somewhere here long ago but cannot find it - where can I get the gasket/weatherstripping between the front fender and the cab? Any specs etc. on it?

When you consider that the truck is some 40 years old and left regular military maintenance and repair about 10-15 years ago, I can guarantee you from my own experience as a Deuce owner that this will NOT, ever, be "the only" problem. I consider myself fairly meticulous maintaining my truck...

If #5 does not get any/enough fuel or not at the right time, the culprit sits before you even get into the engine. A seeping head gasket or leaky rings are not even on the radar, yet. Could be a clogged injection line also. I know you changed out the HH and it did not improve the situation. I...

We have a few members here that have gasser M35 trucks and are knowledgeable about the OA-331 Gold Comet 331 ci engine and the parts needed to tune it up. There is a conversion to civilian spark plugs and also a list of cross-over part numbers for the ignition components. Most other stuff is...

It is a different look than the massive 395's but a GOOD look! It is an "improved on the original" kind of appearance. I am sure the commercial 22.5 tires are great. You almost have to maintain the duals for looks; the 22.5 are quite skinny tires and probably would look odd, singled out.

If I was smelling burnt toast, I'd be worried I'd have a stroke. Not sure what I was thinking and where that brain fart came from. I had even looked at the gear drive of the pump, noting that it is indeed a gear-driven pump. Thanks for answering my not-very-intelligent question anyway!

I have a Vickers power steering pump off a 5ton multifuel to go onto my LDS. Does anyone know whether different belt lengths are required - and what they are - or does the pump fit right into the existing belt pathway?

Clinto, this was a very insightful post that I just read twice. Wise words. Thanks for posting. In a way, it totally ties into what the guys from FMTVTRUCKS https://fmtvtrucks.com/ that also build the Acela trucks are saying in their FAQ. Why buy a truck for $$$ from them, when you can pick up...

Yup, air tool oil will make the O-rings swell and the motor locks up....done that.

Plastic or metal wiper motor? They can be opened. Sometimes a swollen O-ring causes them to stick. You can spray a little silicone lubricant into the air intake port and run the motor and see if that gets it going. A long time ago I made a writeup when I fixed mine...

I think that this is an unbelievably good price, sir, given that it includes NEW tires, rims, adapters and the hub/axle job. You did very well IMHO.

The open diffs have a very specific vulnerability. See the picture, courtesy of Torquewrench. When you get all three wheels (or two wheels, in your case) on one side spinning, it's game over. This is where lockers make the difference. I think that it really depends on your budget. If you do...

Regular plumbing crush sleeves from the hardware store work for me, using DOT air line; the sleeve needs to be held flat to the bench grinder for a second on either side because otherwise the sleeve is a tad to wide for the threads of the nut to engage. As for the IP oil lines: I took the old...

PICS!! Also, after being experienced with the A2s, what made you decide you want an A3? As for the original tires, please be careful; there are several posts here of blowouts of re-inflated tires that had sat collapsed for a while. Internal damage/broken cords.

So weird...I was thinking of this just today and wanted to look up the info...and here is a brand new thread with pictures! SS mind reading at work!

That is a good find. You could, of course, also go the modern gear reduction starter route: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78375-Replacing-my-starter-with-a-gear-reduction-style 39MT or 42MT starter, 24V, 12 teeth
