I am not an expert on the vins, but if you have a clear Iowa title and the vin on it matches the vin on the truck, better go with what it (the title) says. If you want to know more about the trucks history, try this...

SW, you mean you never heard of a 290 cummins factory installed in an M series truck ? :wink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4TZ5UvzQb1U

Welcome 09. Where are you in Northern Iowa? I am not far from Austin, Mn. You probably meant it has a 250 Cummins and there is a plate on the front lower right area of the engine. In front of the air compressor pump I believe.

Yep full hydro and well I was assuming it was a bobber with the 16.00's. Not the case. I bet that is a bunch of work to get a deuce to accomodate those.

A2 or a3 ? Welcome to the site. Here is some good reading for you on the question at hand. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/58641-m35a2-m35a3-pros-cons-each.html?highlight=m35a2+m35a3...

Nice deuce. Gotta love them 1600's ...Awaiting power steering pics and info..

This is on its way to being one sharp truck. Keep up the good work.:D

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/3229-deuce-power-bleeder-r4x4-style.html This is your friend. No doubt, the most useful tool you can build for your MV. Not expensive to set up either. Watch Heavystevens video towards the end to get a look at how to use your pressure bleeder.

If you wanted to wait untill you got it home to change the oil, you could turn out the drain plug and let out any water that has settled on the bottom. Be ready to get the plug back in when it is all motor oil. This is to be done before you crank it over at all.Then go home and change the oil...

How much can you get a running take out engine for in your area. I think it is a real bad sign that you aren't getting oil to the mechanical gauge and it stalls out after startup too. My guess is the crank bearings are damaged now.

Peoria , hmm sounds like you might need an A3 for that inevitable 2nd MV purchase. :driver:

Here is a generic answer to oil pressure gauge concerns that I cut and pasted from the last time I posted it. When I have oil pressure gauge concerns, I like to get a new mechanical one (which are pretty inexpensive) and hook it up to wherever they read the oil pressure on the engine. That...

Again both. 1 accessory I want to recommend is an auto darkening welding helmet for the wire feed. It will instantly make you a better welder.

Off hand I don't know where you could find a stock CUCV bumper. Maybe someone will have an idea.

Welcome. I'm south of you prob. 90 miles. Having decent luck with your truck so far?

Subscribed. I was wondering who was going to be the first when those trailers started popping up on auction. It'll be very cool

Welcome to the site and enjoy the truck! What kind of wheels are on it? hemtt or combat wheels? I got a m817 too, but haven't used it yet. It's a loooong story, but this is your story. Do you plan on using it around a farm or commercial use? It's all a matter of personal opinion, but I think...

At least they are a pretty basic air system. Comparing it to a big rig with its miles and miles of air line and many more valves, ect. If you go around with that soapy water you will find some I am sure. Fix and reduce leakage. You might wind up with the most airtight deuce around. There may not...
