Well here's a few pics. Thanks to Maccus and JeffHuey1N for the assist and use of pole barn. Still have to do the wheelwells/mudflaps/running boards/shackles/wheels. Really sick of sanding!:roll:
Well I have been sanding for what seems like forever on the deuce. The local sandpaper suppliers are very expensive (around $1 a sheet). Does anyone have a source for cheap bulk sandpaper sheets? I have tons of disks but need the sheets.aua
Does anyone know which vendor sells the three dropside data plates that go on the outside of the beds? (I know MVdataplates.com has them but I need them by July)
So I got asked about my tow lights. Here is a pic, they are semi easy to find and a similar set could be easy to make. Hopefully this helps those new to MV's.

So here is a modified M37 windshield from Memphis. There are at least two companies that made these for deuces also. Who has one? I am thinking of making one for my M37. I am leaning towards removing the vertical upright...
Well MACCUS and I just got back from picking up his new M101A3 trailer in UT. We did a few side trips out and back. Boyce was first with an interesting stop. I only asked about M37 parts (they were down to 4 M37"s). Prices IMHO were very good. Got alot of bigger (but cheaper parts). I was quite...
Well It is done for the most part. Removed all components and installed the master cylinder from a Chevy pickup. Currently waiting on a brake line set from MM but looks good so far. Should go good with the front disks on it now.:wink:
Well I was cleaning and found a NOS 5 ton gasser pump, a used OA-331 fuel pump and some new parts for the 331 pump. So after a few of Bread Trucks Beers I decided to try and combine all 3 to make a rebuilt OA331 fuel pump. It was actually pretty simple once I figured how to remove the actuating...
Just thought i'd post up, that deals are still out there. I caught a back haul from GA to WY for the M37. It came out right at 66 cents a mile. It'll be here right after Thanksgiving. Needless to say I am quite happy.:jumpin:
Is anyone going from the GA rally towards WI? I, (the wife really) has a M37 w/w that needs to go north to WI (or west to WY or SD). If anyone has any thoughts please post up. Worst case, i'll get MACCUS and we'll drive down for the GA rally in 2012.
I know I have seen heater shutoff valves. What are those who have them using and where did you get them from? I have found several that could work, but most are very big and bulky and just wouldn't look right. Any tips appreciated.
Anyone else put headlight guards on a M35? Are the M998 headlights different or are the guards just very generic and poorly made as far as fit? I think I had about 20 minutes each side modifying to make them work.
I heard from a reputable dealer today, there was either a yard or dealer in Omaha. It was called Sachs (sp) Brothers. Anyone ever heard of them or what they have?????
Anyone know of a location for online GMC manuals? I am trying to find the part numbers for the dump bed and tailgate for a M215 dump truck?? I have read that they are the same as a M59 dump bed but need to verify this ASAP.
On the M38A1 and civvy CJ-5 where does the brake pedal return spring mount? There is a hole in the pedal similar to the clutch's mount. On the other end, all I can find is a hook on the wire in the clutch assy?? Is that it? The manual sucks for this question. A photo would be great. EDIT, just...
Well It looks like we are at change #42 at least. Anyone along the route? Looking at Hwy 24 in Chatanooga, then #57, to #74, to #55, to #39, and finishes at #90 into La Crosse. Ron (73M819) is going to go prolly May 1st, several days before us. We will bring up the rear and be bringing parts...
So we had three issues yesterday. Ron and I are curious what others may think is wrong.
Issue #1: Trans is smooth shifts great-except 3rd, absolutely no noise. It doesn't seem to want to go into 3rd easily, not hard but not like the rest. If accelerating in 3rd-all is good if you let off it...
Well a special thanks to 73M819, Twright, CARNAC, and JoeM62. We spent all day finishing loading the M35A2C, pickup, and cargo trailer (just finished a little while ago). The plan is to head west about 0430. Ron, Wendi, and I are going. About ready to hit the shower and go to bed, I think we are...
