    Hey just like the title said. I am looking to purchase a item at Chambersburg, PA., and I was hoping someone could take a look for me if they are going to be up there in the next week?

    Aberdeen IBC containers + 55 gallon drums

    I should have posted this earlier, but is anyone interested in an IBC containers? I probably could stuff a few on my deuce, but they have to be spoken for ahead of time. I will order them early tomorrow if they can be had before my departure time. They were $75 las time I asked. I was curious if...

    Nudy pics of a M103A3 trailer

    This is an kind of interesting M103A3 trailer frame I picked up recently. Muddog actually was kind enough to pick it up from Mechanicsburg, Pa. when he was picking up his M109A3. This M103A3 is of course the frame used on the M105A3 trailer, but it is just missing the body in this case. It...

    Muddog’s New Deuce Pick-up

    Well Muddog otherwise known as Harold and his lovely wife Caroline picked up their new M35A2 W/W today from Richmond. It was a very nice deuce that was well maintained for function except for the normal drained batteries. I showed him how to operate the deuce as this was his first. We then...

    Overpriced Junk Yard Finds

    Well today I was over at the local scrap yard dropping off metal I had accumulated. One of the guys told me of some military stuff when he noticed my trailer. It turns out that the place had perhaps 15 M105 and M101 beds along with a few M105 frames. I was rather exited, as I would love to turn...

    GL Signing state travel permits.

    I would like to see GL’s make one exception to its prohibition to its employees signing anything except GL paperwork. That one exception should be state temporary travel permits. I don’t know about other states, but in Virginia you can get a three-day travel permit that only begins to count...

    Inspecting items not yet up for bid.

    I would suggest to GL that they strongly suggest to the individual locations to be more accommodating on allowing inspection of items that might not be up for bid quite yet, but are listed. I will often go to a location far from my home to inspect an item, and it is hit-or-miss if the guys...

    M35 Injector Line Ferrules

    I recently found out that the injector line going into the IP was leaking. I can only assume that the ferrule is leaking. It appears that most just replace the line, but me being me I went out and found ferrules. Whether this all works or not I found a good diesel shop in the area. It appears...

    M35 Leaking IP

    I am thinking I have left a trail of drips behind me on my current Thanksgiving holiday travel from Richmond, Va. to Raleigh, NC. My injection pump is leaking around the hydraulic head. To me it looks like it coming from the very top of the IP like under that thin plate that is ontop of the...

    Deuce Arctic Heater Info Compilation Thread

    Ok I have just spent the last few hours searching for info on the South Wind Coolant Heater that I believe is included in the arctic heater kit. I am still confused what is included in the kit and what it looks like. Here are some of the links I found that drop hints on it or cover similar...

    Engine Filter by-pass valve modifications

    This is something that has been touched on in past threads on spin on filter adapters. This is dealing with the bypass valve that bypasses the oil filters when there is a differential of 15psi caused by dirty filters or whatever. There has been some conjecture that the filters are bypassed even...

    Alcohol Evaporator Dryer Comparison

    I was not intending to purchase a cross section of all the alcohol evaporator dryers out there, but thanks to the way ebay works sometimes I did. I ended up with two versions of Bendix dryers, and one Midland. The smallest of the Bendix units is the same type that appears to have been used in...

    M35 Power steering choices

    I ran across a big truck junk yard this week, and found two power steering systems that have interested me in eventually putting PS on my deuces. The first is an Air-o-matic that is currently mounted on some older ford heavy truck. The other is a TRW hydraulic power steering out of a dump...

    My "new" HIAB 765A is home

    Well after many months of drooling over Bjorn's HIAB for his duece I finally got one of my own for my deuce. It is mounted on the same International Harvester flatbed from the Navy. It of course has a tag stating it is to be installed on a M35A2C. Unfortunately this one needs and overhaul as...

    M35 Cab Hardtop vs. GMA insulated soft top

    Ok I am thinking of plans for my newer Air Force truck. One of my first things I am looking at is perhaps removing the hardtop for a GMA insulated three color soft top. I already have the soft top frame, and really like the idea of a soft top for summer use. I have seen good reviews for the...

    Problem getting my new deucee to run right.

    I just got my new Air Force deuce home Monday, and I have been poking at it trying to get the engine to run. While it is a nice truck it was used a parts vehicle, so it is missing some things like the alternator which means no fan or water pump. This should not be a problem for short runs...

    M35 Alternator terminal repair

    I have two deuce alternators that are just about new, but they both have the same stripped connector. From talking to the NG guys I hear this is a common problem. It is the terminal with the red connector on it. Does anyone know if that plate can be replaced or repaired?

    Just bought a M35A2C by mistake...

    Well I have been having a very bad day. This morning I mistakenly placed a bid for a M35A2C instead of the M1009 that I really wanted for everyday driving. My mistake of course for entering the bid on the wrong item, but GL is full of it. I had bid $50 when the deuce had opened as it was a...
