So about the only thing electrical that works on my the '62 M35A1 I am rebuilding is the solenoid and starter, and the wiring for that has been replaced because the original rotted away, as has the rest of the wiring. The starter is the A1 LDS-427 style with the foot button on the floor...
Phbckt is set to upload 640 by 480, but sometimes the forum still tells me file is too big. I just uploaded a bunch the other night and was going to post them, but they won't post. Probably have to delete and reload all of them. I resize to 400 x 400 and it still tells me too big. Sometimes...
It occurred to me while searching that long threads (such as long build threads) are frustrating because when I search for a particular term, I have to read through all the pages in the thread to find where it was mentioned.
So, are shorter, one-topic-only threads a better method? Or am I...
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...
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...
Hello 5 tonners. My little deuce coupe has a 5 ton engine in it. Wondered if y'all had seen one like it or could help me decipher what it un-readable. Thank you!
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...
Things to watch out for safety wise, etc.? Brake line chafing points, eletrical chafing/fire hazard points, etc.? Tricky stuff that shows up wiht age that may not be in the TMs. Maybe a make sticky?
Thanks!
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...

These guys keep the deer, etc. alive in the desert out local to me and their water truck gets a lot of miles doing it. Any help for where to look, etc. much appreciated.
Thank You
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...
Ole cruddy water truck (which we need at the shop, hence the excuse to get it) :-D but it's so old and cruddy I wonder if it's worth messing with. :oops: What and where should I look for to see what I'm in for? I'll take pics and post 'em for the experts.
Disclaimer : I'm newish to deuces but...
Trying to find some info on the histo/org eqpt of this Jeep. Pretty sure it was USBP. Any pointers? Everything I've found for info is for newer or older Jeeps, and my serial/VIN has no letters...
This is beat up but says something about a special sales order.
Lots more pics here...
Why doesn't anyone run the deuce drums? Just the weight of the drums or what? They're air over hyd so I don't see why a guy couldn't make them work.
Thinking about turning my Cummins Dodge street/trail truck into more of a trail/street truck. I can get 46" michelins cheap, just needa a set of...
