    fiberglass bows and troop seats

    Spoke with them today. They said that the pieces would be sold for the market price which was not available at the moment iIwas on the phone, but would get back to me this week. Also, I was told that it would be better to ship the componets and assemble by the purchaser. Cheaper shipping. I...

    New Manufacture Air Horns

    Has anyone bought a new set of Air Horns for their truck(s)? I know the 5 Ton also takes the same set as the Duece. I'm interested in buying new from the Manufacturer.

    fiberglass bows and troop seats

    Well I put a call into Stephan Wood Products this morning to follow up my e-mail. Unfortunately they are closed for vacation until the 20th, so I will have to wait an extra week. Expensive, they might be, but we won't know until I speak to someone there. Also, since the truck was only a few...

    fiberglass bows and troop seats

    Speddmon, thanks for the source info. I have that TM and it is from August 2006, which supercedes all previous TM's according to the cover. I believe I downloaded it from the forum. Emmado, is right. The NSN, question makes sense since the TM is recent, I would imagine that like all things...

    fiberglass bows and troop seats

    Thanks for the info. I have located the company's website and sent them an e-mail. I will followup with a call on Monday, and hopefully we can set up a group buy for whatever components anyone needs. I am going to assume that they won't need the NSN's of each individual M35 Series vehicle piece...

    fiberglass bows and troop seats

    Okay so we are in agreement that the fiberglass are a bit better. Now, lets get our thinking caps on and post information on the manufacturer. I'm sure, just the same as I've contributed to the GMA Cover Corp, manufacturer of cab tops, and cargo covers, that there is someone who knows where...

    1971 M35A2 interior paint color?

    Slimpicken what a nice paint job! I really like it. I'm also partial to the solid OD, so I really like the way your truck came out. My data plates I received after speaking with John Murray. at TnJ Murray. It took a little while, but what a nice suprise when they came. The only originals are...

    1971 M35A2 interior paint color?

    I used a 383 Auto piant polyurethane from Omni Coatings. Made by PPG. Flatening and hardening agent to keep it water repellent.

    Kaiser vs AM General

    If I remember reading this correctly, in 1970 Kaiser-Jeep was sold to AMC,(American Motors Corp) which became Jeep and then morphed into AM General(American Motors General). So really the difference lies in what type of dataplate you want on your truck, because without the dataplate, there is...

    Lighting upgrades

    I paid something like $700 & change, for the full retro-fit HMMWV kit. It is has all LED, B/out headlight which actually is green, and very cool looking; Two front marker, and two Taillights. The HMMWV retro-kit, is the way to go because they are wired with resistors to simulate the load in amps...

    Lighting upgrades

    The other LED company is Grote. I put these on my truck and trailer, and like them more than the Trucklite. They're a bit brighter, and i like the lens, and body composition better. They also have camouflaged b/outs until they are lit. The Grote's are a product improvement from the Trucklite...

    Who has shovel, axe and basic tool set?

    The problem with the pioneer tools is that the racks were designed for US spec dimensions and a lot of tools now are made in China, and are not the correct measurements. You can put whatever tools you want in the rack since nothing is brand specific, but... The US mandate for military equipment...

    Basic deuce winch operation video.

    That was a real nice "How To" on the winch. Now, shouldn't someone also be guiding it in so it spools flat and straight?
