    M35 Steering...?

    I went ahead, and replaced my old steering wheel, and also upgraded my horn button on the new wheel. It's nice to get rid of that 38 year old cracked wheel and dried out horn button. I am looking for new USGI steering gear box rubber bushings. These are the plugs, that hold the steering gear...

    Blow-by Tube Discharge

    I noticed some light vapor coming out once when the truck was warmed up and idling after a drive. I really haven't paid much attention to it since then, but the diff bulb is nice & dry, so I imagine it is working appropriately.

    Safety Netting

    There is also the cargo/ troop safety strap. I have seen them for sale on ebay by Colemans. You can buy a few and use where you see fit. I removed my headrack, and put one across the front behind the cab soft top, and another on the back of the truck. My reasons were just to show more of the...

    New steering wheel & horn button

    Thanks John. It seems easy enough. The connection is just a snip, strip, and crimp, yes? I have plenty of those waterproof female connectors, and one even came in the kit. Question though. DO I need a Military Wheel Puller? I know there are a lot of different designs of wheel pullers, and I...

    New steering wheel & horn button

    So I have decided that the truck needs an updated NOS steering wheel. I bought one from Saturn, and it appears to be correct. The diameter of the wheel and spokes are the same. I pulled the horn button, and now need to pull the wheel. With this cold spell, it may be a few more days. Anyway...

    M35A2 Headlight Bulbs

    I concur with JATonka's statement about Saturn. I have bought a lot from them throughout my M35 restoration, and Jay is excellent and knowledgable. The Headlights are NOS, Wagner, and are nice and bright.

    pioneer tool rack

    I bought one just recently from Beltfed, on eBay, for $40. It was as stated. New w/ scuff marks. Nothing a can of 383 can't clean up, but like I said; As stated, and for $40. How can you go wrong.

    M35A stalling

    When I took delivery of my truck, I didn't have much fuel in the tank. I could see the bottom, and of course, I saw all the rust particles that accumilated over 37 years. I used a magnet attached to a long rod to try and clean out as much of the debris I could. Then I filled up with a full...

    Brake Adjustment???

    Pedal is catching where I felt it before the hose change. Although it does feel somewhat spongey. The truck stops and the the brakes hold, so i think it is just an adjustment that needs to be made. When stopped, if I pump the pedal, it catches higher. I have the 10 manual, and it is good for...

    Brake Adjustment???

    So I have this new M35, and as it reaches the end of the restoration I need to check or adjust the brakes. I replaced the rubber hoses, and I bled the system as well as introduced fresh DOT 5 to it. 1st I did the airpack and then all 6 wheels. After the bleed, the pedal doesn't catch high. It...

    bows and cover

    I called GMA Cover Corp, the other day. I orderd a new 3 Color Camo cab top. I had the tan one, but it didn't fit well. I bought it off ebay, and It might be a second? Well Now I am getting a new one from the GI Manufacturer, so things will fit better.
