I located two M35 in a truck scrap yard close to me late last year. They are the Canadian licence built versions. They are rough...dash ripped out, fender missing, one bed missing etc. BUT they do have some parts I would like to salvage as nice upgrades to my truck, especially the power...

Congrats - and you will have some reading to do. - yes, the C and D turbos look different (apart from how they sound). If your turbo sounds cool, is really loud and after about three hours of listening to it you kinda had enough, it's a C turbo Search is your friend...

So it is pressurizing the coolant system with exhaust gas? If you have an emissions test facility nearby that is cooperative, they can take their exhaust gas probe and hold it over the opening of your expansion tank with your truck idling. If the probe sniffs out CO/NOx coming from your coolant...

We want a startup video!

The shutoff is connected; I do not see anything major wrong with how it looks. Does the plunger move freely when you release the shutoff handle and move the plunger by hand? If so - that is a good sign! As Floriand suggested, you can always take the cover off and see if the innards do what they...

It is a fine line between "repair/replace other stuff while you have it apart" and getting completely carried away into a major rebuild! Always good to have a plan and watch yourself! I should know...

I can tell you that a turned up LDS with single-hole injectors ain't it!

Looks like new! Good job. Did you have them remove the front splash guards and pioneer rack on purpose?

That is not paranoia, it is a reasonable precaution. Take the mushroom cap off and have a piece of 2x6 ready (preferably a soldier B at the ready) to shut off the air intake. Oh, and if there is no hose connected to the air connector on the air filter bucket, put a metal cap of some sort over...

Congrats on your truck! You seem to have done your home work! Just a note on the sand blasting: The CARC paint that was used to paint the truck is toxic and cancerogenic. Airway protection is a must when blasting and grinding this stuff. A note on the brakes: You will have the brake drums and...

Yes, the only ground for the dash panel is via the locking screws. An O-ring should not do bad things because you would still use the factory locking screws, but if you have ground issues after, you may want to run a ground wire.

Do you have the canvas for it? Seeing how it doesn't have sides, it must have a special set of bows.

Glad to see that you are still at it!

Wow..I would probably have cut out a newspaper cover, rattle-canned the bridge plate green and called it a day! The new one looks sharp, though!have

This is the time to look at all the flex hoses and steel brake lines, since you will need to bleed the brakes anyway. Also, check which brake fluid you have in the system (DOT-3 or DOT-5) and decide what you want to do (there are advantages/disadvantages to having either one). You cannot mix...

I replaced the copper bushing the transmission shaft slides into and it was a tight fit. Using longer studs instead of the transmission mounting bolts helped in sliding the tranny up to the bell housing. With everything lined up correctly I still had to put nuts on the studs and slowly snug...

I'll jump in, based on the mental image from your description. Pictures would be helpful! If you did have a leak on your front axle, it is either brake fluid or gear oil. You need to check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. Is it low? The next step is to pull the wheel off and...

Well said, rusty.

Looks so much cooler than my ghetto tool made with a 1/2 inch ratchet extension, a deep socket and electrical tape to increase diameter.

A lot of good advice and reflections in this thread. I am afraid, you might be in a bit of a conundrum here, described as follows: 1) $6-10k 2) 10k trouble-free miles ahead, minimum maintenance 3) military vehicle with largely unknown past, 20-45 years old PICK TWO OUT OF THREE !
