Picked up my new M35 Saturday. Trip started out slow... M109 kept stalling at about the 5 mile or so mark with the fuel line full of bubbles. Swapped out the fuel pump and now with a more powerful flow rate, it would stall out at about 3 or 4 miles. Decided we didn't like the looks or smell of...

Thanks, probably too tough a temptation to resist anyway. :) I guess I needed a new challenge after mastering the art of explaining new additions to the gun safe.... Hard to say that that one was always there, or Carl was borrowing it and finally brought it back.... ;) _________________...

I can tell I'm going to have to get one of these now too... if this keeps up my wife is going to think I'm a lost cause... although it may already be too late to worry about that. ;) . My 2nd vehicle was a 1973 K5 Blazer (gasoline civilian model) and I loved it. Was a billy goat.

Thanks Ken!According to the title it was owned by the City of Malvern, Iowa at 1 point so I'm betting that's the FD. When I get face to grill with it Saturday maybe I can read what the door had painted on it. Where do you drill?

Looks like have all ducks in a row to pick the '53 Studey up this weekend. Borrowing a towbar from the motor pool tomorrow, meeting Carl at his place Saturday morning, driving the Green Hornet (M109) to Belton. We'll have to cut the brush guard off in order to mount the towbar. The bar...

No kidding! He does have quite a collection. I like the school bus / roving grocery store from Utah (or maybe Wyoming?). What hard top and ladder did it have? Was that from it's life as a fire dept vehicle? Don't know yet what will end up happening with the multifuel. Since we (there are 3 of...

Re: RE: Introduction and confession of a pack rat.... Thanks! Turning the 109 into a comm truck for our TXSG unit. We've (using the royal "we", that one is not mine) got our 1st M109 pretty much on the way. Has a huge GRC 206 radio system in it. The GRC 206 might move into my M109 or I might...

Pulling deuce with towbar Did I see a driver in the towed vehicle in the 1st video? I am using a towbar to pull a deuce home with a deuce this weekend and didn't expect to need that. In fact I assumed it would be dangerous. Nice rides by the way! mk

Yes, and that is actually a picture from the ad - I didn't have my camera when I went by to settle up. I'm just northwest of Austin and the Studebaker was in Belton which is just a hop and half skip from here. It's in great shape but the tranny is out... literally in the back of the truck...

Hey all, I'm new to the board and to collecting (I like that term) military vehicles. I had an old Willys CJ2A several years ago but had to part with it. Every since then I've been itching to get another comparable vehicle.... I bought a "new" 1953 Studebaker M35 a couple weeks ago and if all...
