    Crate pickup out of Eglin AFB in Pensacola

    I have one crate of tent parts @ the GL site @ Eglin that needs to be picked up in the next week or so & either held for pickup or arrange to be delivered some where close to Gainesville, FL by someone passing thru this way. If anybody can help me with this, I am willing to reimburse them for...

    Very good idea & execution; it's amazing how many different things people come up with that are out of the box, but are great ideas!

    69 m35a2 wont go over 20

    Check the water separater under the right fender with the drain to see if you get anything but a good flow of clean fuel! Then check the other big filters up on the fire wall with the drains on them. If you get water or dirt in any of them, or a low flow, it might be time for a filter change...

    69 m35a2 wont go over 20

    Only 20 mph, he must be going up a very steep incline; or it is some of the above stated problems. Keep digging till you find the problem!

    Got another Deuce! ('70)

    I wouldn't mind running into a nice truck like that, the transmission can be replaced & you are good to go. Your fuel tank is really clean too!

    Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C

    Well, the local NAPA failed to be able to supply a hose from the P#'s gleaned from here. P# 7409330 is the one I found & used. I have to pick up a trailer next week from GovPlanet & my plant is back to working a shutdown with 12 hours a day. None of the other stores were able to come up with a...

    M998 recovery in Topeka,KS

    He can title it as a off road vehicle only. He seems to have a good project truck to start with. Thanks for the writeup & pictures!

    Yey or Ney...

    Chrome on an MV is just wrong, unless it is on the piston rings! Just my opinions!

    Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C

    It does have a dual brake system, but when I was checking to see what was leaking, the pedal was no longer rock solid, but went to the floor. The rear brakes would still stop the truck in an emergency, but the front brakes are red tagged for not mission ready.

    Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C

    I have access to the stainless steel hoses thru a good vendor @ work. The hose ends are what will have to be figured out as we may not stock them! Thanks for all the heads up on what is the best hose. What's funny is that it is under my nose, but didn't think about it! Getting older is a challenge!

    Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C

    I will replace all five before driving the truck again. NAPA, inward bound for flex brake lines & more DOT 5 brake fluid.

    Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C

    Re: Failure of flex brake lines on a 1987 M35A2C Well, you hear the horror stories where guys crank up the trucks & head for the open road, only to find that there are no brakes when the pedal hits the floor @ the first stop sign they come to. Today, I took the Deuce to work to drop off a few...

    Thanks for posting those pictures! I'll bet that truck shows up on GovPlanet with the words," Ran when parked, steering needs slight alignment & new seatcovers for the drivers side!" :roll:

    OKC GL Alert

    Things happen between the auction & what you thought it was, size & weight & when you actually see it in person, been there & done that (but no T-Shirt). Planning the recovery using GL info is not always an exact science of logistics, even though most crates have 3d sizes stamped into them along...
