Hi guys, I need your help desperately. I have been working a deal with a local guy for a very nice M35A2 with a LDT-465 whistler in very nice condition. It had been sitting for a while though, so he took it to the local "big truck" service guys for oil plus filters. Well, apparently it...

Hi folks, Maybe I missed it; I did several searches through advanced on "cab top bows","soft top bows", etc. Too much info and not finding what I need. My M36 had no bows on the soft top for the cab when I got it (see avatar). Picked up three surplus to retrofit. The cab windshield frame has...

Hi guys, I am wanting to run exhaust on my M36 through the passenger's side fender and up as is traditional, rather than along the frame and out the back as it is now. Did a search but came up empty on a pattern or measurements for placement of the hole in the fender. :???: Mine is the old...

Hey guys, been around for a while and checking in but haven't posted in ages; been way too busy. I have finally finished up the rebuild of the transmission in my M36 after the woodruff keys stripped out on 2nd/3rd. That was a lot of work, but well worth it from a learning standpoint. Lots of...

Hey guys, Does anybody have a part number for a Pertronix kit for a deuce with the OA331 gasser? I have done the site search, google search, etc and found mention of an 1167, which they have, but that doesn't match to the research I did, which would indicate and 1163. Has anyone ACTUALLY done...

Hey guys, Finally got all the parts for fixin' the 3052 in the M36. Looking at the new output seal I got from ODIron though, it doesn't look at all like the old seal I took out. The old seal had a felt wiper on the outer edge and was about twice as thick. The one from ODI almost looks like the...

Hey guys, Finally, there is a sweet M36 longbed for my truck on line. But its in South Elgin, Illinois. I'm in Farmington, New Mexico :cry: - How does one get a 17' bed the 1300 miles here? Any help out there? What should I pay to ship? Can anyone hook me up? Bob

Ok, I've read the threads and absolutely agree with the comments made about the need for a dual setup on brakes. I can't imagine what it must be like to drive a deuce and suddenlly be unable to stop! Given that the air-hydraulic booster from my truck is stamped '57, this is old stuff we're...

Hi guys, Working on my tranny and probably into a clutch replacement. Looking at the mess in the bell housing.. probably a main seal too.:-( Anyway, the M36 is a gasser with an OA331, can anyone point me to the right TM for this procedure? Is the gasser main seal the same as the multifuel...

Hey guys, Great forum. I've been in and out for a couple years now. Too many projects. Need some advice please. I have an early deuce, M36, with an OA331 and a 3052 (direct drive 5th gear). It a great truck, I like the long bed. Having tranny issues, all is well except no 2nd/3rd on the...

Hey guy, long time, no chat. Well, I'm back at the M36 again - been busy with a 1959 Britich Ford Anglia... about to go to paint. Anyway, bought the M36 about a year ago still don't have it regged. No data plate. M36 - 142046 is on the frame. OA331 6 cylinder gasses. It was overhauled...

Hey guys, I'm missing a couple of the adjustment nuts on my mirror supports on the M36 - anybody ever see or know of a source for these? Anyone got some take-offs? Much appreciated - Bob

A question about cab top bows - my M36 has the two folding cross bows across the back of the cab but does not have anything runnung in the other direction. I see Saturn has a top (mine's missing) with three supplemental bows. I can't figure out how or where these would attach. Did the older...

OK guys, so I have a fairly rare M36 longbed, but its a gasser, OA331 6 cylinder. Is this worth hanging on to? Should I swap in a diesel? Should I unload it and look for a newer M35A2 with a diesel? Thoughts... Buy the way, cranked it up, runs good, sounds OK but might need the tappets...

Still having problems dating the M36 gasser. Saw a post that indicated a date code on the axle. Where might one look on a Rockwell to fin a date code? Thanks. Bob

Does anyone have a pic of a data plate from an M36A2 or an M46A1? I have a M35A1, it is obviously different (has smaller dimensions) Desperately need help. If I can get an image, would be willing to buy plate or will repro in cad and supply a dup to contributor. Help! Thanks Bob

Some pics of the mystery machine. M36 and 142046 stamping on the drivers side frame. Cant find date, looked in front of and behind passengers side shock mount. Any ther thoughts? The doors have been painted so there are no paint dates. Is there a "listing" of these vehicle somewhere...

Hi, great info, you guys seem to be very helpful and knowledgable. Thanks. I have just acquired what I believe to be an M46. Thanks to all your posts, I found the following on the drivers side frame, behind the shock "M36 142046". The dash data plate is missing, but the service plate details...
