    Neglected LDS-465-1 peace of mind check and freshen

    Hi all. My truck was abused and neglected as a civilian water truck on a farm for years, and then left to sit a few more. I want to go through the engine and make sure it's in good shape before I go any further with the rest of the project and am trying to decide how deep to go. Planning on...

    I searched the forum some and didn't find the number, so I found it on radioshack based of what I found by searching and the fuse from my truck. Figured I'd post it for the next guy. I'm pretty sure it is the correct fuse, maybe some of you more experienced can confirm...

    Removing civvy paint and retaining military numbers/markings?

    Hi all. Have some threads in the deuce section, but thought a specific one for this question might be a good idea. I have what I'm pretty sure is a USMC M35A1 and want to get 2 or 3 layers of civvy paint off of it and see what the USMC numbers and markings might have been, maybe even retain...

    Old mixed parts M35 Gasser VIN ID ?, please.

    Old mixed parts M35 VIN ID ?, please. So this is my old, abused, neglected, messed-with farm "water truck" deuce from my "Got a Deuce!" thread. Need to look into registering it. Tried CARNAC in '09, came back no such VIN. EDIT: turns out it's an M35A1, not a mishmash. DRIVER frame rail. Note...

    809 Series superior off-road ability?

    800 Series superior off-road ability? EDIT: nevermind, I had forgotten that it was a USMC spec truck, so it has lockers, and so yes, superior capability... Statement I read on Pirate4x4 From personal experience in Iraq, I can tell you that these things are unstoppable. They...

    M38A! Fuel pump?

    I just got the family Jeep back. Pics and more later, tried posting last night and the thread went poof somehow. The last owner replaced the glass bowl pump that was in there with an off the shelf pump and let the jeep sit and it quit, presume it dried up. The old pump was in there for many...

    Deuce as a donor?

    Say I wanted a deuce that had a/c, more power, and was quiet and comfy and stuff. Why not get a 2wd F-550 or so and stick the deuce t-case and axles under it? Kinda like this. I don't quite like how this looks though. The NDTs are old school and the body style is too modern. Think it would be...
