    ? on odometer and hour meter readings

    If a speedometer broke while in service it was replaced with the closest working one....weather that one was new or used. There is ABSOLUTELY no way to tell the actual miles/hours on a military vehicle. Anyone that advertises "4000 original miles" is a snake oil salesman. 2cents

    M35a3 / m35a2

    Is a M35A3 a modified M35A2? (same truck, with a different engine, transmission, hood, & CTIS) :? If so, were A3s "rebuilds" from retired A2s? or are they brand new from the factory that way? I am wondering how many parts are interchangeable....

    Government sale off.. how many more left?

    Fact # 1 - If GL sells 100 trucks this week, then there is 100 less in the inventory. Fact # 2 - The inventory is limited. Fact # 3 - When supplies dry up, the prices WILL double & triple. Fact # 4 - Now is the cheapest that they will ever be. Scrap prices are low & the trucks coming out now...

    deuce tools

    1. You can run air tools from the emergency air on the rear of a deuce.....just pull the throttle to 1500rpms to keep air pressure built up. 2. You do NOT need a 1" impact. That will use way too much air & your supplies are limited. I use a 1/2" Ingersol-Rand impact gun from Lowes ($139) &...

    Deuce bed idea - need input

    If you really like the "mobile" aspect of it....you should check out the trucks that deliver/install the concrete vaults that caskets go in at graveyards. They pick up those multiple ton vaults, move them, & set them down. I cant seem to find pics....but they are very similar to the above...

    Deuce bed idea - need input

    Seems like a LOT of extra weight.....why not just build a hoist & back underneath of it in your yard/driveway? Like this....

    pick up by contracted hauler

    All you will need to do is sign your pickup authorization & fax it to your shipper. GL will release the truck to them with that paperwork. I have done it many times. Good Luck
