    VFD M35A2c returning to Texas Forest Service

    Our department will be returning our M35A2c to the forest service before too much longer. I'm sure it will be auctioned off. A good running, easy starting truck. Has air o matic steering. Pretty clean except for bed rust. Watch for it to come to auction. I'm about the only driver left for it and...

    I need some feedback on the value of my '87 USAF M35A2C

    Jerry cans

    There is apparently a collectors market for WW II jerry cans. Many different makers and as I found out, slight differences from maker to maker. Occasionally you can catch the appropriate cans at garage sales.

    12v Parallel System

    Parts to add heat to m51a2?

    Check the internet, Vintage Air comes to mind. A heater for old trucks will do for your purposes. You can source a 24v blower motor.

    New M54A2 owner

    Get a box end wrench that fits. Heat and bend the handle 90 degrees cut the handle and weld a 1/2" drive extension to the cut wrench handle. Oh, use the box end, not the open end. Previous older thread has this information.
