That's what I hear. How bout compared to a LDS 465?

Thanks guys, I ain't worried about either of you. I may have been a bit forceful in my above post, but that was to make it clean I didn't want any poo hitting the fan. You are two have been most friendly and helpful. I just don't want my thread derailed by everyone and their dog, uh dogpiling on...

That's what I was gonna say. They blow due to heat buildup due to sidewall flex. Lots of air, no load, no flex, minimal heat. Course the front is always heavy, so the fronts will always have some flex. I'd go 80 in a 900 series, not in traffic and whatnot though. It's one thing to endanger...

Cannoncocker, first off, howdy neighbor. Did you ever make it back and get more pics? I saw this truck too and later learned that I have an A1, want to go back and look at it very thoroughly.

I moved a lot of buildings with a rolling tailboard flatbed when I lived in Midland. Works great!

I have a pretty good collection of A1 pics and some info going from mining the internet. http://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/reo.htm

Early M35 deuce history (Studebaker) I've been searching around the forum and the internets, got early M35 history bug bad, and stumbled across this thread on another forum. Skim about half way down and then to the bottom for the deuce stuff. This guy seems to know a lot about deuces...locking...

I don't like brakes, and normally especially don't like bleeding them. Can't wait to get my bleeder built and effortlessly flush and bleed the system...then I need to find a really big strong guy to stomp the tar out of the pedal with the air all the way up and pressure test it. Deuce brakes...

Edited above, and adding more here: I will say that if I or anyone else was suggesting something that would endanger the public, such as removing the airpack and running a VW master cylinder, something should be done about it. :-)

First off, I do not want any such discussion muddying up my build thread. I didn't start one, I don't want one. That kind of crap, "pounded into the mud", is why I have considered leaving this forum. EDIT: It's not good for the forum, the hobby, or anyone. Already way too many good and...

I did, but I don't need one. Good price, but shipping to the land of fruits and nuts always stinks. Airpack was $60 plus $50. Grr. I've read up on brake fluid extensively and decided on 3 because I think it's better, not cause I'm cheaping out.

it's kind of weird, it has a vent hole in the middle, but it just went up into the top where that steel circle was crimped on. I will either put a proper deuce cap on the master if the threads are the same, or thread this cap and put a fitting on it so I can pressure bleed it, etc.

I know, I ain't skeered, it'll go anywhere dragging a busted jeep behind it. I wanna know if it's gonna be any fun or not. ;-) Might just drive a little truck and bum a ride in a deuce.

Also, new used rebuildable airpack showed up. Hanging halfway out of the box, but intact.

What do ya'll think of this master cylinder. I don't think it's very old. Exterior was rusty but interior nice and nice pliable seals. It's not OEM military, says use DOT3, which is what I'm going to do. I could rob the mil on off my parts truck and rebuild it, but it's a hassle. USMC...

Might look into adding hardener to the paint like Bill W. Paint shop should be able to tell you which gun. I'm curious about the best primer to use. I think you should paint it 24052 USMC Forest Green and put yellow lettering on it. ;-)

Planning to come, not sure what I'll be driving yet. Hopefully this : How hardcore offroad are we talking? Like obstacles or just dirt roads?

NDT, any chance of more pics for this early M35 addict? Curious about the A1 features, wiper knob, shifter, dash panel, engine crossmember, etc. Is the vertical front of the battery box cut in a contour to fit the back of the fender, or is it straight cut? I thought I read somewhere (it's all...

Pictures (especially passenger dash) and maybe exhaust measurements would be much appreciated! I commented on the '13 plowing vid on youtube, it helped. That fact that you have an A1 and A2 together might be handy as you might be able to identify some differences we haven't found. If you're...

Wow, smacking myself in the forehead. Dunno how I missed this thread. I have an A1 and A1 fever, I'm always digging around looking for info on them...I get a kick out of tracking down all the little differences. I intend to eventually do a definitive A1 thread with all the info in one place...
