    What is the "body style" for a M35A3 on the SF97?

    On my M35A2, I tried to use Cargo, but the DMV wasn't recognizing that term in their data base. Finally a supervisor came to the window and asked if the truck had seats in the rear. I responded with a paused "Yes, as a matter of fact it does." She plugged SUBN into the computer, which in NY...

    Oil out exhaust

    Yep! Same issues when I first bought my duece. I also made a stack cap, and since that decision, I've been through several Nor'Easters, with very high 60 MPH wind gusts and not a single drop of water. I went to the hardware store, bought a 3" rubber pipe cap, drilled a small hole in the center...

    newer deuce

    The trucks were pretty much perfected from the get go, and there was no reason to re-design. My 1971 A2, could be mistaken for a much later truck simply because it had a lot of new parts (replaced), and the motor was re-built in 1986. The fact that mine is a '71 is what drew my attention b/c...

    parking brake springs

    NO worries, I used a hooked dent puller from my friend's shop, and it was small and thin enough to pull the spring right over the top of the bolt.

    parking brake springs

    Anyone have a trick to attaching the small parking brake spring from the adjustment screw on the frame to the shoe on top of the drum? It is awfully tight, and I'm sure someone has a trick to installing it. *NOTE - I'm not talking about the long spring that goes from the arm to the frame.

    Canadian Looking for US M101

    That demil code is only for the original buyer out of GL. Once it is in private hands, there is no obligation. You need to locate a current private owner looking to sell.

    Cargo Seat Repairs

    Nothing will ever compare to a beautiful plain piece of wood! Stained, or painted, it always looks nice. However, due to my truck living outside, It just wouldn't live up to the elements and would eventually start look crappy. So I went with Synthetic. I bought new fro mthe factory, and now my...

    Hand brake warning light

    Maybe someone could post up a pic of an A2C panel and an A3 panel installed to see how they were delivered.

    Hand brake warning light

    I seem to recall that the standard A2s had two guage ilumination lights and one High Beam indicator. You could have the Low Air Light kit installed and the instructions had a template to drill a hole out and place the socket in the center position. (Pic of my std guage panel) The A2Cs had the...
