I have a couple of 22.5" wheels for a deuce - literally, just 2. $100, plus shipment from Boulder. LMK if you're interested.

Thanks for posting this thread. This is be the rough format for my build, and I had been concerned that my truck will end up too high.

I know a guy with a bobbed deuce for sale - is that something you'd be interested in?

If I may venture a guess, the original poster was discussing the use of the 5T suspension on the 2.5T axles. And yes, the frames are the same width. I can think of a few issues interfacing the 5T bogies and the 2.5T axles: 1. The tapered studs on the dogbones may be thicker on the 5T...

I bought some big 4" or 5" or 6" diameter 12 or 24 v LED backup lights. I honestly can't remember the voltage. I almost think they're 24v, in memory. They didn't light for much in the back of the truck, so I made some brackets (I cut the big hole out with the lathe) and put them on the...

I happen to have one of those Memphis kits for the 5 ton, on axles. :) It's for rears only, though. My challenge will be to fabricate the pieces to make it "front axle compatible". Seeing this setup, though, really helped me out. I also got the buyer's contact details. I'd say that it's...

That's an idea, but it's the extraordinarily rare auction that allows access to the original purchaser or outfitter of a piece of equipment.

I put together the pics in a little flickr set - please let me know if there are issues accessing this. Deuce Air Brakes - a set on Flickr Best, Bob

I was at an auction and saw a fully-airbraked M35a2. Bidding went over my level, but I got tons of pics. The conversion included full cans on all axles (including maxis on the rearmost bogie), replacement backing plates (bolted on in the rear), and deleted the transfer case ebrake (since the...

BTW, I was searching the net earlier today for this ratio, and then I remembered I have the Spicer 6000 book in the archives. Checking that book shows: 6453 .78 6453A .83 6453B .78 This is straight from Spicer. I know this is too late for the original poster, but this may help someone...

So the issue with the commercial cab is that, with the commercial cab, you will also be paying road tax and insurance to match the commercial cab. That's one reason I'm staying with military sheetmetal on my new project. The comfort may be tougher to achieve, but I can life with that for several...

Wow. The battery equalizer seems like it would solve alot of issues with 24v to 12v. I'd never heard of such a thing until now - thanks so much for posting.

Wow. That is a great looking truck. Welcome to the site, and I'll wave if I see you around town!

The killer with those is the price. Rarely do you see them for under $2000-$3000. Do let me know if you find one for cheaper. Today, in fact, I'm drilling the frame on the new project to fit a M35 airshift case, since the peculiarities of both the 800 series and the 900 series cases kept me...

Sorry guys, I should have been a little clearer. Wiring and steering column are not an issue - the whole cab is currently sitting on pallets and the steering column is chopped and outboarded anyway. :) It's a good suggestion to see about modding the tunnel. What's giving me fits is the width...

Thanks - I am also leaning towards running a square tube under the entire cab.

Hi Folks, I am a day or two away from needing to lift the body on my M35-ish project. I think I need to lift it approximately 3", to clear the Eaton Fuller transmission. I haven't mocked everything up yet, but pretty sure I do need to raise it up that amount. What is the best practice to...

I may be a blasphemer here, but JB weld or PC7 (or PC11) have always worked great for me for radiator repair. It's not entirely aesthetic, but it's also not really that noticeable. And it takes about 5 minutes. [thumbzup]

It's sort of already there. My challenge is going to fit the sheetmetal around it. :) Keeping the medium duty frame that the engine is in.
