It appears that the UPS quote, from the customer service centre, not a UPS store, is significantly higher than anything anybody here thought it would be. So - my transportation need is still there! Anyone?

Crawdaddy, thank you for starting an interesting discussion. Another thing to consider is that the "manly" image of the w/w trucks not only exists amongst us, but also existed when they were still in active service. The chances that a truck has seen severe offroad use (dare I say: abuse) in...

The top one does look like an air pack and the bottom is a drive shaft U-joint. They both look a bit battle-fatigued, but it is hard to tell from a picture. Rebuild kits for the "long" airpack are available.

Jim Hunter, you may have seen that all manuals that you could ever want or need for these trucks are available for download from this site. If you do not want to spend the time, they are often on eBay, on a CD. You will find that operating and restoring is a lot easier with the right manual.

3dAngus, thank you for this very detailed analysis, the weights and measurements. I am sure that this will help several other people as well!

Hello, guys! I need a medium towbar taken from 27813 (Black Creek, NC area; near Wilson, off the I95) to 13669 (Ogdensburg, NY) to a commercial address. Any chance?

The good news is that the sheet metal appears to be decent and most things seem to be there. The turn signals are nice, early style ones and probably original. Good luck with the restauration! Picture 4, to the left, that is a Mercedes G wagen sitting on its brakes there...:cookoo:

MAN trucks Sheesh...ok.....here you go:

The truck is up to the fence, close to the entrance gate. The bed is pretty banged up and it is rusty, for an AZ truck. I could not get to the cab to see how nice that was. Adjacent to the site is a NG compound; they have a row of M35A3s and 900 series trucks in the rear. No pics, sorry. I did...

M35A2C with comms shelter S-280 AND MAN trucks Pima Air and Space Museum, Tucson, AZ. A few days reprieve from Canadian sub-zero temperatures. I was pleased to see that the museum's M35 is not as nice as mine! :lol: Pics of the two MAN trucks are further down!

I am interested in three (3) handles!

The Interstate 6TL my truck came with were new in 2008. One was dead in 2009 and I used the other one for a while for another application; now dead, too. I replaced them with Costco Group 27 batteries and am not looking back. The room I freed up in the battery compartment houses my 8t bottle...

They drove the truck into the forest fairly slowly and it would just push down whichever tree they hit and crawl over it. They said that they pushed down a total of about 250 tons of lumber while creating a truck-wide path where they were going. What fascinated me was the way the axles...

By chance, I found myself watching this episode and was on the verge of tears! Breaking Point These guys obtained a pristine up-armored M54 with a massive protective cage and first tested what the thing was capable of. That was the fun part. It cut a swath through the forest, snapping and...

Ingenious. I have hand-crank-started a 3 liter 4 cyl air-cooled genset engine and portable fire pumps with the 1200 and 1600 ccm air cooled VW engines for years and years. Here is a pic: http://www.zoll-auktion.de/auktion/daten/bilder_auktionen/215137_2.jpg None of this compares to trying and...

Good advice in this thread. I recovered my truck, unknown to me, after three days of PM and a few small repairs and drove it long-distance. I had never driven an M35 before (but numerous other, bigger, trucks). It was in the summer. Nevertheless, I took a significant risk and I knew that. I did...

Ok, two different things: An M35A2C means it has a dropside bed. Correct, the truck in your ad is a dropside. A "C Turbo" refers to the model of the turbocharger installed - has nothing to do with whether the truck itself is a C model or not. Any M35 can have a "C" or "D" model turbo and the...

170 on mine in "normal" weather, running empty. 200 with winter front on in the summer (with flap open, as in my avatar). Barely reaching 160 without winter front when it is cold (around freezing).

Interesting info. Hey - domestic pickups have crappy steel, who knew??? [thumbzup] If I understand correctly, though, steel quality does not matter; it is the fact that the frame flexes that makes welding (at least on the portions that flex) a no-no.

It is commonly referred to as a "winter front"; also used with the arctic kit. I use it because even when it is moderately cold (still above freezing), coolant temp hardly reaches 160, especially on highway runs.
