Been out on the road for work and I get to see a lot of rusty gold on the sides of the road. Got me thinking of my old M211 I had years ago and how much I would like to have one again. So a day later I see this M135 posted for sale IN my hometown. Funny how you think something and the universe...
Would like information on the feasibility of this, member David Wymore is close to me and can manufacture them. Lots of questions we have!
Surface prep requirements?
Will solid copper seal?
Can we make them thicker to reduce ultra high cylinder pressures and make a longer lasting motor?
If...
We’ve decided on moving to Alabama. Already have a job lined up, we’re looking to move at the end of February. It’s a pretty flat straight trip. The Deuce will flat tow my Jeep Cherokee and the bed will have all my tools. Should be around 7000lbs total haul maybe less. Is there anybody I could...
Debating on fixing or just finding a new cab. Trouble is it’s a 65, original to the truck and I’m sentimental. Plus I have no cabs near me to pick from. The trouble areas are the cowl, under the windshield hinges, and the bottom of the rockers. The cab corners are all solid.
does anybody have...
I took my newly back on the road M35 on a light offroad desert trail over the weekend. She handles fine on road and I have no complaints. Logged about 400 happy road miles. But this mild trail I went on was a real eye opener. A very mildly rutted rocky trail at just a few MPH too quickly had my...
Been a loooooooooong time since being down this far on the forum. About 6 years ago I remember seeing a M221 in a farmers field out here in the baron desert that is Yuma/Tacna. I recently drove past the same field about 6 months ago and for some reason I find that poor little tractor calling me...
I'm almost done getting my 1965 Kaiser on the road. I had a spare radiator that came with the truck laying around. It looked great, but leaks terribly. So I disassembled the metal frame from the core. The plan is to take one of the following 3 tractor radiators and adapt it to the stock deuce...
I bought this matched belt set for my Deuce in May, barely got to it a few days ago which is past sellers return date. So I have 2 nos belts that are 54 inches long and .66 in width. I’m assuming these are for a 5 ton or something of the sort. Any help identifying? I’d like to sell them for what...
I am putting all new lines on my M35. Some are plain steel NOS lines but the frame lines I’m using cupro nickel, if you guys like absorbing information like I do, you might like this article too.

Having torn my canisters apart for a deep cleaning, cup, spring, o ring and all I noticed a potential problem for all us deuce owners.
Pictured is a Napa Gold 3540. It’s a 6 micron filter. The cork gaskets on either end, do not seal against the bottom cup in the fuel canisters. Many other fuel...
I see lots of trucks with the older Bendix dual cylinder compressors and some with the single model. Will a single cylinder model fit onto the base for a dual cylinder one and visa versa? I have searched to no avail
Thank you to Will Wagner and Craig at the American Military Museum in South ark Monte Ca for selling this to me.
It’s a 65 non winch, runs and drives but needs some typical maintenance. I just brought her home today from LA to Yuma. Shout out to FASTNOVA for transporting promptly and reliably...
Decided to toss my old stock tank, full of rust and algae particles or something.
I ordered all parts from Rockauto (not a sponsor or anything). I thought 31 gallons would be a nice upgrade.
Tank part number GM14B 31 gallon $87
31 gallon sending unit FG12J $58
Longer 31 gallon straps ST11...
Well....1 pic anyway. Gonna mount this York 210 to the CUCV. I plan to put AC in this truck eventually. Which will tie up passenger side. So drivers side looks like the best place to do a York mount. This will be for running an impact wrench or airing up tires offroad. Nothing crazy.
I have...
How many here have completely re sealed their M1009's with new weatherstripping and seals?
The 09 absolutely choked everyone on the last trail ride with fine dust. I resealed the tailgate and have a new LMC carpet kit front and rear.
The dust still seems to pour in the front windows.
So if...
Theres been a nice M813 for sale for years in front of a local salvage yard in Yuma Az. Driving home from work a couple days ago I noticed its finally gone. So who dunn it?

I have no other trucks to compare to. My M1009 rear glass sticks up about 2 or 3 inches when fully down. That doesn't seem right, as it's too easily susceptible to damage when loading, sitting on the tailgate, etc. So something aint right with mine. I deem the regulator non original to the...
