If there are any die hard collectors out there who don't want to wear out their seat canvas or someone like me who uses their truck for work....

I saw this and thought you guys would enjoy what one police department did to their deuce / M35a2.

Hi,
I had a leak in my M35a3 wheel assembly and took the thing apart to replace the seals and a few cracked brass connectors.
As I didn't know what I was doing I took pictures in case I need to undo something that I shouldn't have done. Turns out I must have done something right as the wheel...

Forgive me for posting something that has been posted before but I have spent a few hours looking for something but haven't found anything that talks about my issue .. so on that note ...

Ok .... Last night for the year of the Bass Pro Thursday Nights Car Shows.
Going to make a run for it as it was a great time last time we went.
If folks are interested, I was thinking meeting around 4:30 and driving the last mile together.
I am a little flexible with the time but to get to...
Howdy,
Saw this at an Mass National Guard Staging Area. Any ideas on what is on the back of this tractor?
(sorry wont tell you exactly where it is ... don't want you guys climbing the fence and grabbing a part or two .. I like the trucks going to GL complete and in once peice :-P )
I was tracking down a steering issue (clunking vibration on steering wheel turning) ...
One of the things I found was that the drag link seemed to have an un-usual separation.
The before picture is no steering pressure and the drag link is at rest. No white gap.
The after picture with the...

So to get an inspection sticker on a commercial truck in MA you need a backup alarm.
Honestly if I am going to drive in a parade I want a backup alarm so I don't kill anyone.
As my neighbors would kill me every time I do a 5 point turn in my driveway I figured I better also have a secret on...
As I have never had a M35a3 before can someone advise me on the parking brake?
In MA the state inspection pass / fail on parking brake is.
1. Put the truck in the lowest gear.
2. Put the parking brake on.
3. A pass is if the truck holds when you take the foot off the brake.
My m35a3 moves...

Here is what my dad showed me to do get the number .. of course you...
