You are the eternal optimist! Doing the front seals is rewarding. I have very good experience with the slightly oversized boots from rockwelloffroad.com as well as their modified inner front axle seals with the "sock tube" type of seal that seals better than the lip seal. Not affiliated, no...

FWIW, my Deuce spent its life in the salt-free southern US and I am not going to introduce it to stone salt and calcium chloride liquid that are used around here for snow and ice removal. That sh*t eats your car alive. Mine goes into heated storage next week.....costs money, yes, but so does...

If I understand correctly, you would cut the bus frame behind the transmission mount, remove the corresponding length of Deuce frame at the front end and mate this bus front frame piece to the deuce rear frame piece. You could leave the rear frame two feet longer to give you room for a...

The fuel gauge is a simple set up. I would start by checking and improving the ground. The gauge grounds via the gauge bracket which in turn grounds via the four panel screws. The power feed into the gauge should be firmly attached and not have any damaged insulation where it rubs against the...

oboyjohn, not at all...just outside Ottawa!

I know a yard near me that has two Canadian built M35 with the Detroit Diesel "Fuel Pincher" and the Allison 643. The Detroits do not run but I do not think the trannys were touched. This could be a good starting point...all the mounts and connections are made to fit the Deuce chassis. As you...

It is also a good time to put a bit of air tool oil into the air pack, either through the little plug on the back if it can be motivated to come out, or loosen the J pipe and put it in there.

Please take pictures if you find that this mod works! It might help others.

That's also based upon that precision instrument in the gauge cluster made by the lowest bidder. Just saying... Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

There are also Anco blade connectors that are a tad too narrow for the clip. They twist inside the clip and break it. Then the stupid wiper blade sits on the window sideways or falls right out. Are you sure you're using the right ones? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

Aren't you the optimist! Seriously, I think you are very diligent in your planning and the follow-up to your work. After I re-ringed mine and honed the liners, it initially ran with no blowby but developed minor blowby soon thereafter. Annoying, yes, but I chalk it down to the design more...

Looks good. Late model one-colour tarp as well. Clean truck. As for the tires, if they are the 14.5 tires that were on the truck originally and have sat flat for any length of time, please read about the safety concerns around M35A3 tires. Several blow-outs have occurred with them, especially...

We need pics!

Yes, sir, it will. Much simpler. Three screws.

I agree with Slate and would suspect a leak much higher up and the coolant simply dripping from the lowest point where it collects.

Glad to see that you have it back together and she seems to be running as she should. The power issue you can take care of with the pyro and setting the fuel accordingly. Mine is not at all turned up to the edge of sanity and it makes more than enough ooomph!

Your mileage may vary but I would buy this truck as-is, neglected for 10 years, not serviced and with a dead tranny, essentially undriveable, and make my offer to the seller accordingly (a tranny rebuild is an easy 5k if you have to outsource it). Then I would get the truck home and THEN I would...

Doesn't look half bad and there is no puddle underneath. Looks like a good start! That tailgate needs a BFH and some heat.

This looks like a well designed and well made setup. Thanks for posting the pics!
