    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    It still won't turn with both rears locked, which is why I recommended that all 3 have separate engagement. but in a few years when you get them installed I'm sure you will let us know. Hopefully it doesn't take you two more years to replace your broken axle shafts & other driveline / suspension...

    New Section Idea??

    Does it count that when I was at Camp LeJeunne back in 1981. I used this on a daily basis taking documents from Battalion HQ to base HQ?

    What accessories were fitted to m880 series

    Other than troop seats, radios & shelters, nothing official was fitted. US Military units regularly adapt vehicles to suit their needs. Back in 1980, on USMC base Camp LeJeunne, The MP's had cages made of chain link fence in the back of many M880's

    m101a3 convert to dually wheels

    late 70's Ford U haul trucks had 16.5 duals, those rims may have more drum clearance than the typical dual wheel.

    First Production status verified by AmGeneral

    I'm not sure how I've known that for several years. You do realize that they are rebuilt from old A2's I've been told that there were improvements after the 1st 500 M35A3's, although I know who has #3 and it seems like a good truck. Better have them go with Barrett Jackson, lots of people with...

    m101a3 convert to dually wheels

    Fab up some fender flares, kinda like they did for the A3 bodies. 16.5's are only going to add 1/4 inch of potential clearance. not sure if they make plain steel 17" dually rims.

    Ctis, air lockers and bigger 14.5x20 tires...

    Well if you ever get the air lockers installed, let us know how long it takes you to break some u joints and/or axle shafts. I believe that you will benefit from adding a split brake system to your truck.

    What priority should deuce modifications have?

    The A3 version & some late model USAF A2's had a 'split brake system' your passenger car does also. The rest of the A2's have a single reservoir master cylinder that feeds all 6 wheel cylinders. a split system has a dual reservoir master cylinder, typically 1 for the front and 1 for the rears...

    Finally Got My ARB Air-Lockers...

    Air lockers would be sweet. I would have them individually actuated, so you could just engage 1 for some extra traction without the severe load on the driveline
