Ditto. Over time, AL and steel will chemically react to each other. Ever have an aluminum intake leak coolant on an older engine? And for sure use anti-sieze on the bolts when reassembling.

Very nice!

0 - 15 for the boost gauge and 300 to 1200 for the EGT gauge. The increments are far enough apart to be able to read them at those ranges.

Yes, measure twice, cut once.

That's a great place to put it Will, I like it. A pintle hitch, like what Djfreema has mounted in his box, but mounted to the underside would be a good way to secure it also. I want to come up with a way to mount mine on the M818, but obviously it doesn't have the box like yours. The front end...

My first 809 series was an M820 for a very short time, basically bought and sold it. That was immediately followed by the M818 I have today. This was just over a year ago, 11-07. My very first MV was an M1008 with 33K miles out of Maguire AFB in Jersey, back in '93.

I don't know of anyone that's mounted a spare on their 105 since the deuce carries the spare.

I used the Hewitt gages also. They were great to work with. The guy I talked to way back when said they had never had a deuce application before. I gave him the temp and boost ranges and he figured out the best gauges for the ranges given. I used 2 thermocouples for the EGT gauge. The only power...

WooHoo! It's alive!!! What a great feeling! You are in the home stretch now Ted! Thanks for posting the vids!

Thanks guys. Couldn't remember if it was the first 2 or the last 2 of the second group of #'s in the registration #, a '70 or '71. 04D-70371. Thanks for setting me straight.

Carc is extremely tough as said. Sand blasting works good but even that takes longer than usual. Sanding works but slowly and goes through a LOT of paper. I only sanded the paint and feathered the edges on my 101 when I restored it. Smooth out the existing paint best you can and put a couple...

Hey guys, my buddy and I are trying to determine the year of his M35 so he can get it registered, etc. I know the year is in the ID# somewhere, but I'm not smart enough to know. I'm sure someone else knows. Thanks in advance! Here is the reg. and vin #: 04D-70371 0539-10582

Great find James! I can't get over how original it is. I can still see numbers under the thin blue paint on the hood. It still has the correct wheels and tires too. What a deal!

Congrats on the new truck. Looks like you got a good one. For the lights, check to make sure the blackout/service light toggles are in the correct position. More than likely that is the problem so start there.

Many of the trucks in Michigan GL lots have come from Columbus recently. I was almost 2 years ago when MI was sending all of theirs to Columbus.

Nice job! I like the middle jump seat. It was out of a Nissan? Pick-up?

Does a CUCV really need a 120 speedo? :wink: I doubt it will be accurate. Even if the 120 is physically the same as the stock 85 mph speedo and will 'bolt' in, speedo's are calibrated for a specific vehicle. Drivetrain, axle ratio, and tire size are all part of configuring the calibration.

Looking good Chuck! Love the pic of your dog and cat.

....A hat made of tinfoil works. The aliens won't even know what you're thinking either. Uhhh... maybe I've said too much...:|

Congrats, you got a solid truck for a good price.
