    M342 questions

    A few questions. 1. Do the M342 and M35A2 share the same chassis / wheel base? 2. How long is the bed? 3. Does anyone have a pic of the backend that shows the tailgate? 4. Did they come with troop seats? 5. Did they come with a tarp? Reason I'm asking is being a Combat Engineer a dump...

    Deuce in flood

    You made the NBC nightly news man!!! There was a quick glimps of the front of your truck. I only noticed because of the big tan block on the left side of your bumper and the licence plate on the right. Don't worry. The shot was too far away to recognize your plate number. Your cop friend...

    horn button issues

    Where are the air horns normally mounted? Mine are missing and the solenoid too I believe. The sick little electric horn still works but you can't hear it over the engine idling. I have a set of air horns off a different truck I'm going to install.

    Crewcab plan

    Re: RE: Crewcab plan That might look better but I want a crew cab not extended cab. Look at where the seats sit now. They are tight against the back of the cab. If I cut the donor cab where I chalked in the picture I'm right about where the floor pan angles up. That by it'sself is cutting...

    Anyone near Ft. Leonard Wood?

    I'll be there Sept 13 to 17. If you haven't picked it up yet and need eyes on it let me know. I might be able to break away from training and take a look.

    Is this really an M36?

    It could have been. It has a std 12' bed bed it looks like the frame has been cut. The last crossmember looks like the one the suspension should go directly under. The axles had to have been slid forward plus stretched to run 52's.

    Theft prevention?

    I rarely lock mine in town or at work. When I do I still use the chain on the steering wheel. I do keep the engine stop handle out. The biggest reason is if my kids climb in it the master switch can't be flipped and the starter engaged. It might also deter gawkers. Reminds me of the time...

    Pictures from VietNam, 1968.

    RE: More pictures. 1968 It's interesting you made the comment about the trucks seeing combat. That was one of the first questions a friend asked me when I brought it over to his house. I'm not a picture taker. I have very few pics of Army stuff. Just another day at the office. When you...

    Crewcab plan

    Ever since getting the MV bug I've wanted to do a crewcab. I have four kids so anything I do will be enjoyed more if everyone can participate. My first GL purchase was a new cab tub never put into service. It managed to get caught in both major snow storms last December on it's voyage from...

    trans gear ratio math, etc

    RE: Re: trans gear ratio math, etc OK, I'm retarded. The whole purpose of your project is to make things spin faster than the engine!!!! It just took that long for it to sink in. I'm thinking more about tomorrow's trip to Canada fishing than gears.

    trans gear ratio math, etc

    m-35tom, I hear ya but I'm not tracking. Assume 1000 rpm input speed. 29 tooth gear at 1000 rpm driving a 42 tooth = 690 rpm. The 42t gear is mated to the 48t gear which also must be turning at 690 rpm. If this is true then the 48t gear is speeding up the 22t gear. I'm still getting 1505...

    trans gear ratio math, etc

    Something doesn't add up to me. I'm getting an overall speedup ratio of 1.505:1. 29/42 = 0.690 and 48/22 = 2.182, .690 x 2.182 = 1.505
