    Stripping single layer of carc?

    I'm thinking about my options here for "restoring" my truck.... The CARC on it now is barely 7 years old, but a few places its peeling and the original undercoat of tan is coming through... The more I look and think about this, the more I want to turn my truck back to the desert tan camo...

    Ok, this is weird... contradicting VIN/registration numbers

    Going by what I've been reading today, I have a 01 lot truck, possible 1966-1967 truck, being my lot number 0125, which would be correct for a 1966/67 M35A2 W/O W... however, I found a stamped plate in the truck, either by the military or someone trying to be sneaky/deceptive, or a putz not in...

    Quick spec question... torque specs

    Just need some quick specs on torque settings for lower radiator nuts and oil housings.. just realized I just hand-tightened to where they were before, would like to go double-check things. Thanks!

    Oh crap... i did it this time... need new window glass

    Yeah, I'll admit, I invite Mr. Murphy to work his laws on me quite a bit... Tonight I slammed the door a little too hard and ruined my driver-side window glass... cracked all the way through like someone hit it with a bat. :( I can't even find these for sale, so I'm really going to need you...

    Changed secondary fuel filters... no fuel flow

    Guessing either my intank pump is shot, or I have the wrong filters... not getting any flow into the lines with the truck power on, but then agian I didnt fill them before putting them back on... but with accessory power on, I dont hear or feel anything coming from the fuel tank, so I'm taking...

    Uh oh.. leaking front axle

    After some playing offroad this weekend, and a few panic braking incidents (stupid drivers on the freeway), noticed about a 6" wide puddle of grayish water/grease/sand mix on the ground. Smells faintly like gear oil (slight sulfur odor) and noticed the rubber boot on the back of the hub...

    Oil filters and belts... quick info please

    Going to be working on the truck tomorrow, replacing the belts and oil/fuel filters, and need to get the part numbers to check with local places if possible. I know I can search, but I'm out the door to drive the beast up to a friend's place to work on it tomorrow. Thanks guys.

    Heavy flex & grinding fan/generator.. bad motor mounts?

    Took the truck through some stuff I'd say was about a 4 or 5 out of 10 on some trails this weekend and had some guys in front of me let me know I was shooting sparks under the hood. When we were at the bottom of some declines on the way back up, there would be the loud, horrible...

    I swear, Murphy is out to get me.... Cracked radiator

    Luckily, its not around the core, but around the top "cap" or resevoir, around the edges of the top piece and underneath the passenger side where the top line goes into it... Repairable? or time to look for a recore? :? In positive news, my "blowby" leak has subsided, and in 2 weeks of...

    Alternative to CARC?

    I know this has been discussed a few times here, and I'm a little lazy tonight (nursing a 2nd degree burn on my 4th bottle of IPA).. Just curious what those who have restored their trucks (DeucesWild, breenlanr, Bjorn, etc) have used or would suggest using for a repaint job.. I have a few...

    Fuel sending unit or gauge?

    Murphy's Law bit me again. Not a big issue though, this time. After the truck sat for a few days, my fuel gauge is on the fritz. It will read the correct level, but when the truck is running, it's all over the place. I'm wondering if there's some wire I need to check, or start replacing parts...

    Anyone live in Vernon, Tx?

    While driving through the area, noticed a few heavy MVs, maybe 2 Deuces and a 5-ton, all Vietnam green with large stars on the doors. This was right off of US-287 on the south-bound side. Noticed the trucks out of the corner of my eye, so figured I'd post up and see if anyone knew about em.

    New pics.. home and "modded"

    Couldn't wait to make a few new touches to make her "mine", so I threw on the convoy lights and bridge plate this week... I might have no things on 100% properly, so if the lights look funny, lemme know.

    Well, I'm alive!

    Yeap, 1100 miles, 23 hours drive-time/40 hours total time, and several pit stops later, I made it back to Texas with area52's Deuce and M200A1 trailer. Man, what a trip. I probably wouldn't do that again if someone paid me, but it was fun and definately an adventure.. from the 13 degree...

    What's a good-condition M200A1 go for?

    I got one of these trailers with my Deuce purchase, and no real use for it, or place to store it. Paint looks good, just a little rust on the insides of the rails, with decent tires (no fenders though). I pick up the truck and trailer next week, and probably need to move the trailer to a new...

    Missing fuel compensator on Multifuel...

    Winding down to picking up my new Deuce, and getting damn excited about it. Orderd some new parts for it already, and planning a week-long project with it for spring break the following week. The truck I'm buying doesn't have a fuel compensator on it, so I'm assuming the previous owner...

    Convoy lights... install instructions

    Got my kit, which looks awesome (save for the missing paint on the poles, courtesy of UPS and crappy packaging), and now, I realize I have no instuctions or installation guide to help me out. I'm a crafty guy, and sure I can figure most of it out, but does anyone have an "official" guide or...

    Wonder if Continental will let me bring this...

    Some basic tools that are a little high-dollar, like a 1/2" drive torque wrench/breaker bar combo, etc.. Flying out to pick up my truck in a few weeks, and dont need to buy another set for the drive home. Continental's going to love me when I show up at the airport.

    Anyone ever deal with White Owl parts, Kinston NC

    Was browsing through their website and found some clean trucks and such. Thought about giving them a call about a trailer (or a truck later this year). Never hear their name on here, so figured I'd ask.

    Intercom/CB radio guys

    Well, not much in search, but think I found what I was looking for. At the suggestion of another member, and "easier" answer is to look into aircraft intercom systems. The one I believe I'm going with is the Sigtronics SPA-4S, stereo headsets w/audio inputs and voice-activated PTT. Question...
