    Rear axle movement / alignment

    I have wondered how much lateral movement was acceptable and I have about 1-11/2. My question is when my rear axles are in alignment and I leave my driveway and make a tight right hand turn, I hear a clunk, and when I get out I have about 1-11/2 of lateral movement. What concerns me is the...

    Diamond in the rough or just plain rough??

    I agree with a couple other posts here. If you can pick it up at the scrap metal price you can get it home and look it over to see exactly what condition it's in. If it's more than you care to tackle then part it out and make a couple bucks.

    Thanks for all the pics there are some good ideas here. I'm interested in the S-280 for my M35, or an S-250 for my M105A2.

    My M923 - front Axle failure

    When you check the other axle bearings, also check the axle nut torque. Hi-way breakdowns are my nightmare, because Nevada has so many hi-ways in the middle of nowhere. Nice that you didn't have a lot of damage.

    Thanks for bringing this piece of history all the way back. After seeing George C. Scott riding in one in Patton it became my favorite MV, and one day if I hit the lotto I just might.............

    Good news for AM General...and us

    I understand the AM General headquarters are in South Bend Indiana. Do you know if the South Bend plant is still in operation? The plant goes back to the Studebaker days, it's where Studebaker assembled M35 trucks in the 50s and early 60s.

    I broke the front axle

    Yea, I like Arnold's M47. We have a Munitions Museum here in Hawthorne, and they just acquired a clean M47 early this year. They haven't started it, but it's all there. It was built by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in Schenectady NY. in 1953. Then it spent most of it's military career with...

    Deuce Differences in the 1970's and 80's..?

    I agree with some other posts here. Do your self a favor and buy a good solid truck with all the trimmings you want from the git-go. You'll save your self time, money, and headaches over buying a fixer upper. My M35A2C was built in 72 and was rebuilt in 10-89 so it's probably as up to date as an...
