For those of you who have been unable to get a new master cylinder or a rebuild kit for your M35A3, I have found the solution.
I sent my master cylinder to:
Power Brake Sales
1517 McCormack avenue
Sacramento, CA 95811
800-624-8155
I installed it and it works!
If there is no winch it is possible that it is a converted cargo truck. If the left side step is only the length of the cab it is probably a cargo truck as the gas tank won't allow the extended step. However, the good news is that this is one of the few differences and it could still be restored...
I feel certain that it is a bomb service truck but can't actually tell. It has the boom but can't see the passenger step or the front winch. It does have the boom winch which is difficult to find along with the trolley winch. If you can get it, it's in much better than mine when I started. Lots...

Does anyone know how you would hook up a civilian drop-neck trailer to a military tractor (M932)? The civillian tractors have the hydraulics on them to run the drop neck.
I know that most of you fit well in your military vehicles. I am not one of the lucky ones. Too big. On both my WC-62 and my M35A3, I took out the steering column and took a piece out of the center, and then put them back together. Make sure you don't take off so much that your knuckles hit...
M35A3 tire choices
I am finding that the 14.5x20 tires for my M35A3 are soooo expensive. Will the 395/85 R20 tires work? I am sure they will fit, and the advantage would be cost. What kinds of problems may arise if I use them? Road stability, weight capacity, etc.
