    Another stupid idea, ignore this thread.

    That's what I thought. I know it won't solve other problems, ie: air pack leaking, still only one circuit system. But in my real life example, it would've come in handy. I am looking towards getting a dual circuit system to address that issue. This would be in addition to that, and not very...

    Another stupid idea, ignore this thread.

    Yeah, I've thought about this. However, I have more imagination and time than money. I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're saying here. Couple years back, on the freeway, one of my bleeder valves failed. The air warning told me I was low on air. I was in the right lane, and was...

    Another stupid idea, ignore this thread.

    So...I was thinking and hashing out ideas with a friend. What if an additional tank was connected to the air pack, utilizing 1 way valves, such that should an air line spring a leak, this additional tank would provide emergency air for stopping? It would be a redundancy system and activated by...

    Valence's 1972 M35A2

    Once when I was parking on the street to go into a store, a woman pulled over and told me how the truck reminded her of her husband who had passed away and had driven the deuce in the service. That she pulled over only to talk to me told me how much the sight meant to her, then she got back in...

    First step - cab rebuild

    Got sidetracked working on some other upgrades now back to working on the cab - though full disclosure, most of the work is being done by a mechanic friend. Finished up the Dynamat on the interior as well as the engine side firewall. New weatherstripping. Replaced the front seat with HMMT...

    Feel the heat

    It's too hot to do work on the truck. Usually I don't have a good excuse, but the last few days I do.

    PNW Info Thread!

    I go to other car shows, every event organizer has been thrilled as they don't get many larger trucks and our MV's are really popular. I know there car shows all over the state (even the East side). It might seem like our trucks are out of place, and the first time I went I figured everyone...

    PNW Info Thread!

    I'm seeing the emojis, but you're just coming across as a jerk, to me. You're the one that started this, I asked you nicely to stop. Since, it seems I'm the only one that is irked, and you can't take a hint, I'll just ignore you.

    Would you stop. I don't know why this has to be a competition. You have your thing, I get it. This is a car show 200 miles away. It's 1 day.

    I'd rather support my local Veterans.

    *blows the cobwebs off the thread* Posted this in "Upcoming Events", but just in case anyone reads this here: So, this thing is for classic cars and the sort, but I started going to it a few years ago because my M35A2 is certainly a classic & Vietnam era. Lots of vets stopped by and a few...

    Bellingham, WA - 10th Annual Vietnam Vet's Car Show, July 18th

    So, this thing is for classic cars and the sort, but I started going to it a few years ago because my M35A2 is certainly a classic & Vietnam era. Lots of vets stopped by and a few related stories about their experiences with the Deuce. I've brought my truck to other shows and it's always...

    Tall Guy looking for options

    Old thread but...I raised my roof ~6" when I had my cab redone to strengthen the roof. Kinda wanted to go higher, but I want to suspend things from the ceiling and still reach buttons, etc without stretching. I'm only 5' 10", maybe 5' 9" (people shrink with age) now, and it's easier to move...

    Synthetic oil

    Good thing it wasn't something fragile, like a house. You could've actually done some damage.

    Synthetic oil

    Yeah, but millenials don't get drunk and say, "hey, I know how to drive that".

    Synthetic oil

    I installed a air cut off. Doubles as a theft deterrent.

    Fleet expansion: 1968 M62A2

    This by the way, is the soon-to-be owner. He's been enjoying himself trying to fix the brakes and other odds and ends to get it roadworthy. And it looks like he'll have room for the deuce after all (he's parked the 5 ton in the front yard, guess it's better than cutting the grass), so we won't...

    Synthetic oil

    I'm gonna try synthetic oil. Yes, I've heard it will cause leaks. I've also read that synthetic oil cleans so it might expose leaks I didn't know I had, and I'd rather find those now, than when I'm 1k miles from home or above the arctic circle. Will it damage my seals & gaskets? Maybe, and...
