    Cargo Cover identification and fit.

    I am sorting thru the mislabeled covers I purchased from GL, and it looks like I have a cover from the new 2.5 ton FMTV M1078 with two parts split sides. How well will this work on a M35A2? It looks like the FMTV has flatter bows.

    NOS M1009 rear axle at GL Norfolk, Va.

    This is the last of the NOS M1009 rear axles at the GL location at Norfolk, Va. The crate is trashed. I picked up two similar awhile back for $50 each. This one did not sell in that auction, so if you need one this one should go cheap. I hate to see it end up in the dumpster if it doesn't...

    Transfer pump hand cranked pump suggestions.

    I am looking to purchase a transfer pump that can handle diesel, home heating fuel, kerosen, gas, cooking fuel. Basicly all of them. Since I have 12v and 24v I figure a hand crank would be the best, but it must be able to accept fuel and water filters. Looking for midrange unit. Oh and I...

    My M35A2 turn signals work when I have the switch set to "stop light", but does not work when I have it set to "serv light" and the headlights are on. All the other lights work fine. I swapped out the turn signal switch, and the combo switch. Any ideas what might be causing this or would you...

    I am considering bidding on some tires that are for sale at Texarkana, Tx. and was wondering if anyone has any shippers they have dealt with and would suggest? Also what class would tires stacked and banded to a pallet be? I'll go thru GL's shipper list tomorrow to see what they can do. Thanks

    Can the tow ring be flipped on the M105 trailer to allow for trailer ride angle adjustment? If so what tools are needed to do so? Especially any special tools? Also what is the usual tongue weight for one of these empty? Finally is it easy to remove the front landing gear to reduce tongue...

    Unique military surplus.

    I was just checking around GL and ran across some unique military vehicles that we need a new forum for. They are have traction devices all around, but I am not so sure how they would look in camo. Take a look. Oh no GL titling crap to deal with on these...

    Anyone make a 6 to 8 lug spacer?

    Does anyone make a spacer that converts from 6 lug to 8 lug, and adds the correct spacing for Humvee rims on a M1009. I have found old threads on adding spacers for those rims on M1008s, and recentering humvee rims. I would prefer not to recenter as they don't look right, and if the rear goes...

    I am looking to put together a set of bows for my M35A2C. I already have the corners, so I need to to make new wood and hardware. Can someone provide the dimensions of the all the wood. I guess the top bow would be the hardest as older bows will have sagged, so fresh bows or metal ones would...

    Replacement seat covers and foam options.

    One of the few things I am planning to do right away to the deuce is fix the seats. Right now I am sitting on bare foam with scraps of canvas. I need to replace all the seat covers except the passengers bottom, and it might be worth doing that now too. I am also curious about replacing...

    Year of my M35A2C?

    I have a bunch of questions about my "new" M35A2C, but this is the most pressing as I need to get this thing titled. So GL listed my truck as a 1970. My engine is a 1972. I don't see any date on the dash data plates. I don't see any rebuild stickers to indicate that it might have a swapped...

    What is up with M1009 prices?

    So last month I picked up a M1009 that is a good runner for $1050. Today there were five at Aberdeen, Md. that went from $2550-3427. Given that they all do look good in the pics, but we all know how unreliable that is. Aberdeen would not allow inspections months back when I checked...

    M200A1 2½-ton trailer frame dimensions?

    I was looking around for the dimensions of the bed area of a M200A1 2-1/2 ton trailer. I guess I need the distances between the four vertical mounting hoops on the top of the frame. Also the distance from the cross bar at the beginning of the A to the rear of the frame rails, and then the...

    Obtaining Service Records

    I was wondering if anyone has managed to obtain a copy of their vehicles service records? I picked up my M1009 from Chambersburg, Pa., so is there a service depot around there that might have serviced my vehicle last to start at? Sometimes I have seen the records in some vehicles, but only...

    Identify towbar ends + adapter deminsions?

    Can you identify the adapter ends on this towbar in the second pic. I am thinking that they are the 3/4" Humvee versions. I need to make sure that this can tow a M1009 which is the 1" pin, so if it is the 3/4" version are there any other deminsions that are changed to prevent me form just...

    Why did this CUCV go for 6K?

    I saw that this work body CUCV truck went for 6K. It does have the generator, and air compressor included, but I can not imaging that those alone could add 3K-4K to the price. There was one of these work body truck in Va. in the late spring that only went for the normal M1008 prices. It did...
