Contact NEWLIFE CANVAS RESOURCES. They have them available for something like $10-15 each...new.

Great job! The truck is really coming along.

Jason, I noticed that AFTER...and hence I deleted my post. My post was irrelevant once I realized the trailer was not what I thought it was. Thanks for the clarification!

Who could be sure that anything is still stock even if there were differences between the years?!?! These trucks have been in military inventory for 25 or so years and have been worked on numerous times. I would not worry about the year and try to find the cleanest example I could locate...

WESTFOLK has at least one. Send him a PM. I am not sure if he wants to part with it, but you could check.

Definitely, Soni! Thank you.

I should have added this to my last post... Gulfway does not have any mileage restrictions. Also, they do not require that the vehicles be kept in a locked garage, as many other policies that cater to collectors do. They do have a restriction against using the truck as a true commercial...

Yes, they are all tagged historic except the M916A1 since it is too new (1994). It has commercial tags on it. Gulfway offers a commercial vehicle insurance policy.

I use Gulfway...about $650 for six trucks...ranging from an M151A2 and an M1028A2 to an M925A2 and an M916A1/M916.

I've started my M35A3 at zero degrees with a sniff of ether. I've started CUCVs down in the low teens. I've started my M925A2 in the upper teens. I try to avoid starting my trucks in the cold (below 32 degrees) unless I absolutely have to use them for something.

Check with DECODEME. He lives in MD and had a few reasonable M818s for sale the last time I checked. You would be able to test drive them.

CUCVFAN has the mil-spec crank up landing legs. I bought one. They are not cheap, but they are the real deal...really stout and they work well.

I agree with MUDGUPPY. Get it shipped.

You can plan on 60 MPH with an M925A1. An M35A3 tops out about 57 MPH, but I would NEVER plan to drive it that fast for any distance IF I wanted the CAT engine to last. Also, since water is fairly heavy, you are better off with a 5 ton chassis anyway.

I, too, have had great dealings with Jim. He is a stand up guy. I enjoy dealing with him.

Not sure what you guys paid...and I realize it is for a 5 ton, not a deuce...but DECODEME has 5 ton cargo covers WITH bows for like $400. They are brand new in the crate. I bought one for my M925A2. They are not correct for a deuce, but they will fit if that is the best you can find...

I have purchased new, unused transmissions for anywhere from $700-1,000. Call the dealers. Start with John Winslow, Dave Newman, and White Owl...then move to TNJ Murray, Clark, Memphis, etc. Many came out surplus about a year ago. You should be able to find one. If you do a complete rebuild...

The OP is referring to a surplus truck dealer (Oshkosh Equipment), not to be mistaken for Oshkosh Trucks that produces the HEMTT, amongst other trucks. I have no idea what OE does to their trucks. Google them or PM them. OE is a member here.

Regarding CARNAC's post, my first move anytime I get a CUCV is to swap out the glow plugs, whether they work or not, with non-swelling glow plugs. It will save you a headache later!;)

Welcome. Nice looking truck!
