Welcome to the Outfit!
The link that @Guyfang provided gets you to the right section of the site. There are "dash numbers" on the end of the file name that tell you what the purpose are for the books. For example a "Dash 10" means that TM is the equivalent of the owners manual in civilian...

Could be an inexpensive short term valve guide fix.
Thinking about small block Chevrolet heads that had "umbrella seals" inside the valve springs on the stock version of those cars. Primary job that they did was to keep the splash of oil from running down the valve stems - causing the oil...

The Deuce (M35) has been around for a lot of years. Wasn't called a M35 back in WWII but the body style was the same and did the same job. The M35 started life as a REO Motor Car Company vehicle in 1949.
The M35a3 generally has a 3116 Caterpillar power plant - all serviceable by CAT if your...

The aluminum diamond plate would be a heck of an idea.
No chance of rust that way...
Seems like you would have to find some sort of rubber mat to go under the plate - or the squeaks would drive you crazy.

Can you give any numbers from the data plates?
Just looking at it, I have seen a USMC version that looks a lot like it...
Is there a valve out on the side of the truck possibly - that needs to manually be pushed or pulled to release the water from the tank to the pump? Maybe you can look...

The DB9 connection inside the box might be a way to program the eeprom rather than having to remove it? Or maybe to update whatever software runs the tilt (PAT) box maybe? I don't see an eeprom on the board pictures above. Maybe it is on the back side of the board?

Thanks Guy!!

Same as with most other military trucks. Windows - up or down - rain or shine. Looks to me that the window was down more often than not when your truck was in service. That metal ring is the contact that gets grounded when you press the button that you don't have these days.

And load the thing up with some penetrating oil @ramdough .
AND it will help to give the puller a love tap every now and again to help the wheel move. Tension and Tap (repeat as necessary)
For whatever reason - guessing IDGARA - the windows aren't regularly rolled up when the military...

The big plus is that the hand operated air valve can ease out a sound. The electric solenoid is ON or OFF. Doesn't matter a lot on the smaller higher pitched horns. The ones that sound like a fog horn that you can ease out a sound from are really cool to have with the manual valve.

Let me string together a few of the guys and hopefully get you some answers. What you need to know is "above my paygrade".
Help Guys!

For what it's worth, Pat is tending to school related things with his son. He will be back in the driver's seat again soon. He has made time to deal with a complaint for ADS on the site for folks who aren't paying users. Not trying to "kiss up" or anything like that... Just trying to...

I can't answer for the MEP, but on a lot of trucks there is a ground wire under one of those bolts around the fuel sending unit. That blue and that red connector are most likely not factory connectors - and in your last picture - somebody bought the harbor freight cheap a$$ crimpers. The...

Just give me the word... With your approval, I will come with truck and trailer and pick yours up.
Then I promise that I will take pictures of my new FAV data plate for you. ;-)
