Here is a thread with some pics of the dump set up that was under my deuce when I bought it last month. It's a Venco VG520 lift that I'm sure was swapped out of a dump truck. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3005

stencils Thanks for the offer, but I have my own vynal cutter and have been making all of my own markings. I did all the markings on my M715 and the quick set that I made for the deuce the day I picked it up.

I plan on taking lots of pictures and documenting everything as I go along like I did last year when I restored my 67' M715. http://www.davidallenracing.com/M715.htm

Friday was the start of restoration on the M35a2 I bought last month. After aquirring some new parts from various venders, I'm ready to get started. The first was to paint the new front fenders I bought from Memphis Equip. Memphis did a great job of preping these fenders so that once I got...

Most of it depends what type of paint job you want on your truck. A truck that has been field repainted would have sloppy applied stencils with overspray. A factory paint job would have nice clean lines with no overspray. Also the Army started to use decals in the late 60's to mark thier...

I'm not sure who installed mine as it was on the truck when I bought it. But judging by the mechanical skills of the last owner, I would bet to say that he didn't do it. That leaves me with the place out of St. Joe MI. where he bought the truck from. I guess they used to sell lots of surplus...

I'll try to grab some detail pics this afternoon. It was converted with a Venco VC520 dump lift. The end of the frame was then bobbed to allow for the tilt. It looks like they cut the pivot point off the donar dump truck and welded it across the frame and to the bed.

The air tanks had been moved outboard becuse the truck has been converted to a dump bed. The pto driven hydralic pump box is located between the frame rails where the tanks should be. Pappa-G if you are ever back at Silver Lake, stop by my shop, I own David Allen Racing right next to the ORV...

Well after spending last winter restoring an 67' M715 I bought last year, I decided that I needed it's big brother. A few weeks ago I got a line on a 67' M35a2 that was not to far from home. Needs work but runs strong and had been converted to a dump bed and had a asking price of $1000. When...
