    M35A2 parts source

    I recently looked at an old M35A2 up in Cocoa Florida that a neighbor told me about for $700.00 - minus the axles and tires. I had planned to buy it until I checked my finances - the well is dry! Anyway, it has a Continental 'C' turbo multifuel engine and the usual drivetrain and I believe it...

    fuseable link

    I just replaced a length of wire known as a fuseable link that is in line with the driver's side alternator. I went to a local auto parts house and picked up some 14 gage fuseable link wire for less than $7.00. I just hope that it is thick enough to use as a replacement for the blue fuseable...

    One Speed Windshield Wiper

    My M1008A1 wipers only worked on one speed and I was about to change out the wiper motor with one that I had taken off of a K5 Blazer recently. I was looking at the triple condenser setup that goes in series with the wires feeding the wiper motor and discovered that the center wire had a broken...

    Frame Numbers

    Until very recently, I did not know where to locate the frame numbers on my truck because I just did not know what to look for. These things are quite large and for some reason I looked at them but thought there would be a much longer number to coincide with that of the VIN number. Kenny came...

    Huey 658

    Just wondering if any Steel Soldiers member has info on where Huey 658 is now? I was one of the volunteers of the crew who worked on the helicopter when it was owned and operated by the Firelands Museum of Military History. The photo by my post was taken at the TICO Airshow in Titusville...

    Involuntary starter run

    When I started my 1986 M1008A1 CUCV yesterday evening, the starter continued to run after I returned the key to the run position and even when I returned the ignition switch to the lock position. I had to go under the hood and disconnect the battery terminals before the starter would stop...

    Govliquidation Registered Letter

    Yesterday I received a registered letter from Govliquidation requesting that I fill out another End Use Certificate, otherwise referred to as an EUC, for an M105A2 trailer that I bought back in 2002! Apparently it had to do with a change that the government made in the classification of the...

    Turbo Rebuild

    I just received a used take-off 'C' turbo today and it looks as though it was taken off for a good reason! There's a lot of play in the shaft - I just went through the compressor side with my finger and found this out. I just want to know if there is a place that I can send this unit to and...

    Turbo Gasket Set needed

    Is there another source for a turbo gasket set besides Saturn Surplus? They are out of stock otherwise I would have bought from them. I have a 'C' turbo coming and want to be prepared when it arrives. Thanks!

    Cargo Cover Straps

    I am looking for a source for the small cargo cover straps that bolt to the bow curves and are used to hold the sides of the cargo cover up. Several months ago I bought two of these from and auction on Ebay and should have bought ten! Does anybody know where I can obtain eight more of these...

    Correct oil to use for a White 'D' Turbo engine

    I am getting ready to change the oil in my 1968 M35A2C which has the White 'D' turbo engine. The previous owner told me to use only SAE 30W non-detergent oil in this truck. I bought a five gallon bucket of 30W SAE oil over at our local Tractor Supply but want to get some input from the...

    Air O Matic Power Steering Kit Update

    Anyone considering the purchase of the Air O Matic Power Steering Kit may want to know that replacement parts will still be manufactured long into the future regardless of the company's announcement to discontinue making the kit. I just spoke with a person named Arthur up in New York who is the...

    Solargizer Placement

    Over a year ago I bought a Solargizer from an Ebay seller for $80.00 and just got around to installing it on my Deuce. I had tried to find the right place to attach it to but the ideal location didn't occur to me until I installed my convoy lights - also bought over a year ago. The great part...
