I am recovering my very first Deuce. I believe that I have things prepared as well as reasonably possible when taking a 35y old truck on a 1200 mile trip. My handicap is: no chase vehicle and no second set of hands. I would like to have, as a last resort, a few fellow SS members I could call...

Is there a difference in the sideracks and troopseats between a regular and a dropside bed? Are they interchangeable between those beds?

After over three years of lurking, reading, learning and keeping on top of what is for sale where I finally pulled the trigger. It ain't home, yet and I will need your help shortly with some recovery planning. For the time being I am just looking for a way to wipe the ear-to-ear grin off my...

I need to bring a Deuce up from Virginia. I have insurance for it. Many states have one form or other of temporary registration or trip permits that allow a motor vehicle to be removed from the state after a sale. I could no find coherent information about Viginia, other than a three day permit...

I just (as in: one hour ago) drove from Ottawa to Montreal; traffic was so bad, I did not have a chance to whip around, catch up with the truck and snap a picture (so do not give me grief!): A semi loaded with three Canada Deuces was heading towards Ontario on autoroute 40. They all had...

Is it likely that a 1986 M35A2C with a VIN starting with 292272 has dual circuit brakes? I thought I had read that the VIN starts with 1040 on the trucks with a dual master cylinder, and that only 1987 and 1988 trucks came with it.

I was looking at something unrelated and came across an active eBay auction. There is undoubtedly a 2.5t truck behind that old MACK cement mixer. Maybe someone feels like rescuing a Deuce? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150251507015&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:CA:1123 Look at the...

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260210914033&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016 I do not think I am misinterpreting the ad. Someone has a latEST model M35A2 that, judging from the pictures, is pristine - and kills it. I just do not get it. Am I somehow weird? It just pains me...

I just thought I'd post it...the FMTV are based on the Austrian STEYR truck design. Steyr is now owned by the German MAN. Steyr has endless experience in off-road and military truck applications and the Austrian armed forces bought the 12M18 (12 ton, Medium chassis, 180hp) as standard troop...

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I just came across a supplier and decided to post it. Some OEM equipment to manufacture LDT465-1C components seems to have found its way to China. New or NOS VE pumps are notoriously expensive and this may be useful: http://www.chinahanji.com/ I am not...

After lurking for a while, this is my first posting. This is a great web site and I have read a lot. I would like for those that have considerable experience with Deuces to suggest what would be best for me and talk me into or out of stupid things. I like MV and would like to own and drive...
