Having also been one of the volunteers during that process, I have to say, I feel it was totally a waste of time. I never really saw anything gained fron our input. (and I still don't think there's a shortage of volunteers)2cents

Just trying to throw out what they may be looking at, that's all. Plus if you rebuild a caddy into a limo it's still say a 2011 Caddy; when you rebuild 3 1971 deuces they became 2 M35A3's from the 90's-another possible sticky point.
According to post #25, it can't be reconstructed. Maybe that's it? After all they took 3 M35A2's and made 2 M35A3's. Sounds reconstructed to me; maybe someone in the chain realized that???
So your recovery is this weekend? Is it 500 miles one way or 1,000? Is the deuce a known good runner or from GL? If it's coming from a private sale it will be alot better as GL is an unknown. Either way, I would take alot more tools/parts and the TM's since you are asking about how to put air in...
TM,
That was miltrucks that did that. FYI, There is one of those headache racks from a pipeline truck leaning against one of Jack Tomlins R/R cars for sale in UT with the winch.
Off the top of my head, I think it's 12". But the M275's had different fuel tanks, air resevoirs etc. The M48 has the same wheelbase as a cargo and uses the standard fuel tanks/air resevoirs. And as an added bonus it has a spare tire and toolbox.
