Make sure when entering year you use 1984. No matter what year your current or future cucvs are, 1984 is the magic year for K5 parts to swap in.

That's awesome! IMO, it looks better too, definitely not something seen every day. Best part is, like you said, now it can be titled as a four wheel jeep, as that's technically what it is. Such a cool build.

First thing I would do is go to the shop and confirm the business is still there, let alone your truck, then call the police and insurance company if needed. It is possible the business just changed phone numbers, but highly unlikely. Like has been said, time is against you, run.

Rear engine??? Love it!!!

I'm not sure the A3 is actually emp proof, might wanna research that if it's the reason you bought it.

I have a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2, liability, comprehensive and collision is $410.71 quarterly, rolled into my home and everything else policy, which is pricey compared to what others are paying but my state has one of, if not the highest insurance rates in the country, so im not surprised. My...

Same. I haven't looked at the Dodge yet, but I imagine it's larger. Throw some air bags, 3 points, 24.5" touchscreen with backup camera, inline twin mufflers and drop bumpers on the deuce and get an "added safety equipment" break 😆😂 waiting on a call back from another agent through the same...

I expressed concern with that as well, since the Kaiser weighs almost double what my truck did. Apparently they factor in curb weight, gross weight, and towing capacity, and by today's definitions using whatever formula they use, the M35A2 is nothing more than a tandem axle Ford 1 ton. I didn't...

No, I told them exactly what it was, how it was laid out, what it weighs, etc. I gave them as detailed of a description as possible, without going into detail of it being an MV, and the only question they had was if it had a fixed bed or drop sides. Maybe my agent knows something most do not, as...

So since in my state you don't need a special license for the M44, I transferred my regular pickup truck policy to my Kaiser, from my Ford. Full coverage, emergency roadside assistance, all the bells, State Farm, 1600 a year. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but for not having to deal with the...

When I looked into selling insurance last, all you needed was a state certification and to be signed to a licensed agent to practice underwriting. This was also 10 years ago. I'm with you, between insurance and the DMV, getting them down the road is harder than the actual maintenance to get them...

So buy brake cleaner by the barrel. Noted 😃

Just saw this reply..... 😬, the wires for 12v go to a panel with it's own on off switch, so yes it will still send power, but only on demand, and only for emergencies. I will get a picture up of them installed though. As for the placement of the interrupt switch, I wasn't confident at first but...

Finished starting her bunkhouse the other night, gonna dive into tags and numbers and see what history I can find before deciding what maintenance to perform next. Til next time!

I don't have experience with that vehicle in particular, but I made a similar trip with similar supplies, the only thing I missed was an infrared thermometer for checking hub/wheel temps. Other than that, sounds like a solid plan and looks like a really nice truck.

Cheeeeeeeeeap. Glad nobody was hurt.

I'll nominate myself, why not. A few of you know my rig specs by now but for those that don't, almost a month ago I took the plunge on my first MV, and refuse to go back. This is a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 W/W, Hercules engine, C turbo, Factory Hardtop with heat. Speedo stopped working God knows...

It has come to my attention that some Isuzu trucks have one piece wheels with the same bolt pattern, budd style studs. The 22.5 offers a 5k load rating. Food for thought

From what I see they are either 6 3/4 inches or 8 and 1/2 inches wide. This will probably be the route I go for my m35 if I can, I've been searching for a one piece rim solution for a while.
