Excellent! Sounds like he'll be a great resource for your new truck. There are a few folks from this website in Florida. Hopefully you can meet up with some of them some time and have some MV fun.

Congratulations on your "first" deuce! On the driver's side tires: You know they're left handed threads, don't you? Lefty tighty, righty loosey. Yeah, it's backwards. And thank you for serving.

You have to remember it is a GL clock. It will start, but it needs batteries.

That's a fine looking piece of machinery. You've done well.

NAPA Wiper parts The description sounds almost like the NAPA parts. Here is that thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/483588-post1.html This was the method I used, it worked perfectly. I pulled the blades out and painted everything green. It does require you to have wiper arms with pretty...

Ours is solid and looks good too. That's why I was asking, to make sure I get the right stuff. Right now I'm thinking roll-on bed liner. It's tough and paint-able. The stuff WillWagner mentioned may be what's on it, but it really looks like it was rolled on. The texture is pretty even.

The plate on the bottom of the springer seat covers the hole anyway, doesn't it? Good looking truck. Are you going to use it as a tractor, or do some modification?

Does any one else have a non-skid finish on some of the body parts? One of our M35A2s has what looks like roll-on, non-skid bed liner on the tops of the front fenders, the front bumper, and on the running boards. (see pic) I'm in the process of painting our M817 (not a restoration, just a coat...

If you were going 80 in an M35A2, there'd be some screaming going on! :shock:

I've found mistakes in the TMs too. TM 9-2320-260-34-1 has a table showing the order you adjust the cylinder valves and injector valves in relation to the piston positions. If I had not realized something was wrong, I could have popped the nozzles off the injectors on all 6 cylinders. I wonder...

I've also seen an M200 with a big diesel water pump on it. I wish I had pictures of it, but it was years ago and I didn't think any thing of it at the time. I don't know if it was build that way, or if it was something added. You know how the military will sometimes build what they need.

You have your camera ready for when it arrives. Right?

Oh I see where this is going: Hoooonnneeee. We need to buy another truck. :grin:

So, does Steel Soldiers have a hall of fame? If so; does rmgill win in the heaviest object pulled with a deuce category? If he doesn't, who does?

I"m just curious: Did you have to buy the truck, or were you able to screen it through DRMO/DRMS?

You're not fooling anybody here. You didn't really need supplies, you just needed to drive the truck.

Care to share?

Eastern KY Sorry, this is the best I can do. We didn't get much snow, around 2.5 inches. But hey, it's snow. Right?

I took the leaky deuce for a 20 mile drive yesterday after work. As soon as I stopped, I chocked the wheels, rolled under it and laid a bare hand on the transmission. It was warm, but not really hot. In fact, the transfer case was a lot hotter than the transmission. My next step is going to be...

Looks good. I like that fuel lock. I made one that's a little different, but yours looks more heavy duty.
