Yes that looks like part of an M16/M16A1 floor.

Not water, there are airlines force feeding the distributor to keep water out, and the coil cool (so I've been told), cut/remove the airlines and it will quit doing that... OR buy the correct spark plug wires to avoid that....in my case I just cut the hoses to get her home, but will replace...

While the multi-fuel M35A2 has more power, gets up to speed faster, and get's better mileage, I still prefer the gasser M35 for off road use. Why? because they're quiter and you can "sneak" around the desert easier. If you're a gear-head then the mechanical aspects of the O-331 will be easy to...

I've been running 395s on stock rims now for almost 2 years, one of the best things I've done to the truck. I made a 800+ mile trip from Phoenix up to the Page area of AZ to pick up a M135, and towed a 32 foot dual axle construction/equipment trailer. On level ground the best speed I got was...

I had a 6", 30x27' slab poured with 1' footer all the way around, used 3 0r 4000 psi concrete (don't remember) with the fiberglass, NO rebar, it's been over 4 years now, with NO cracks, I watered it every day for a month after it was poured, then let it dry another 2 weeks before I used it...

I'm pretty sure that's just the standard M24(?) type bed mount and the 50s are actually centered behind and bewtween the front seats. Looks standard to me, but that is a GREAT picture, thanks for posting that.

akexc: It sounds like your motor "may" be a little weak/wore out, it "should" start within 2-3 revolutions at the most in warm weather, YMMV in cold weather, and the black smoke should clear up once warmed up. (there will be a little) 5th gear should be all the way to the right and UP (if I...

I know.....everybody has an opinion, and here goes mine. N1265s response, is the best I read and fit's my attitude on this topic 100%, but I would like to add one point. My Deuce is currently stenciled in Marine Corps markings, and for that reason alone I will not put ANY political bumper...

COOL! Thanks for the replys.

Gentlemen: I need to obtain a carb rebuild kit, and all the internals for the distributor....ESPECIALLY a US Made 24 Volt Coil! For my 1954 M135 (G749) Is Memphis Equipment my only hope, or are there other sources? THANKS?

Srjeeper: I'm interested in knowing why you asked about the spin on filter conversion, I'm planning on this upgrade for my deuce........is there something I need to know about?

73m819: I should have gone into more detail on my last post, sorry. Yeah, I thought the same thing and pulled off a front hub to check......alas it had all it's splines intact....so much for the simple fix! My truck is a 53 Reo, that was updated to A2 status in 85, it's probabably been rode...

I got lot's of pictures but I have webtv not a REAL computer, if some one wants to post them I'll be happy to forward them to you. As to the free wheeling "milled out" hubs I was HOPING for that, but alas no luck. I jacked the truck up from both sides, one side at a time, hoping I could spin...

Kinda like a hunting trip, it's almost a relief to go home empty handed cause that's when the REAL work begins! At least now I have some retrieval experience under my belt, and will do things differently the next time. I should have realized when the front drive shaft moved something was...

About 4 1/2 years ago I bought M35A2 from Mark Blair in CA, a few months after that I came down with cancer. The Lord healed me, and I've been cancer free for 2 years now, but still a little weak. About 8 months ago I was put in touch with a lady (Connie) who had a deuce she wanted to get rid...

Yohan: I've "heard" that the military derated the 5-ton engine when installing it in a Deuce, but I do NOT know this as a fact. I do have a friend who put a 5-ton engine in his deuce, and he can out run me through the gears, as well as on the long haul by a few MPH. I think you would be happy...

11-14-09: Just a short update, the cleaning with CLR WAS successful. Once warmed up, I've taken her out on the freeway three times at 60 MPH+, at 200-2400 RPMS, (I'm running 395s) according to the gauge she's running pretty close to 160-165 degrees, when I come to a stop she'll shoot up to 180...

caju: If there is no air shift lever hanging beneath the instrument gauges to engage the front axle this means you have the sprague unit. This is a very reliable unit, if kept adjusted properly. When under the truck, look between the transmission, and transfercase, you will see a rod that is...

I got stuck out in the AZ desert after a rainstorm turned the hardpack into a swamp, I was in my M52A2 "shortbed cargo truck", it had a winch. I ran the cable down BEHIND the bumper I believe - it was 5 years ago so I don't remember the details. I must have ran the cable on top of the axles, as...

Today, 09-29-09, I finished my flushing project. This morning I added a gallon and a half of CLR, and topped it off with water from the hose. I fired her up and let her idle about 5 minutes, then took her to 1500 RPMs for about an hour. After that I took her to 2000 RPMS for about 1/2 an hour...
