Greetings fellow MVers, my interests are leaning towards another MV. I had a M35A2C for a decade and had to sell a few years ago. I started looking at the current surplus truck, the BMY 5 tons. I know that they are different beasts as compared to the 1966 M35 I had. How are the trucks on...
The drivers side door mechanism needed replace so I removed the old one and now can't seem to get the new one past the window to have it flush up next to the door jamb. Any suggestions, maybe removing the window?
thanks, Bill
The Marine Corps is starting to deploy a jeeplike vehicle called the Growler, 10 years after conception and at twice the contract price, after delays that were caused by changing concepts and problems in contracting, development and testing, according to two reports.
Like a new version of a...

Folks, I put on a new top and need a couple of snaps and fasteners. I looked atOD, Spruce, Beachwood, and Adirondack but could not find them. Any suggestions?
thanks
Changed oil filters today and one center post did not have the holes for the cotter pin. ALso, when I was adjusting the air compressor belt, the TM said to turn it clockwise to tighten the belt, but they were talking about facing the front of the truck. Got it done and ready to the next ride...
Guys, I have a 5 ton air filter that I don't need as I run a M35. I tried looking it up and also checkng out favorite suppliers to correctly id it before I sell it. How can you tell a multi fuel 5 ton air filter from a cummins? It looks like a big duece filter.
The numbers on it are...
Took some time today to put on a new od vinyl insulated top. Not too bad when getting the old one off (Frank, it will be in the mail soon) and sliding the new one n place. Just me and the wasps (soldier #2).

I have 12.5 xls singled on my truck. I got them balanced as best the truck shop could. They still bounce some. I lowered the tire pressure from 50 to 45 and it helped. Do you all think 40 would be too low? I don't haul much now so I am not worried about load capacity.

I drove past this truck on the way home from work. So I stopped for a look. It is a M715, the engine is out but the faded sign says he has the engine. The price is listed at $3750. The floor has some holes in it and the body is rough. Bed is solid.
No further knowledge. I can stop again...
Well, GL closed in TN and there were some great prices for the M818s raning from ~!1500 to 3,000.. I looked hard at a few but storage is a killer. I sure hope that the dealers did not get them all.
So, who got a gem?
