At the Weare military rally I started having fuel issues. One was the fuel pump failed-however that was probably a secondary issue to the initial problem-as an electric fuel pump failed to solve the first problem. I am still looking into the first problem, but the fuel pump failure still needs...

Hi all, I am wanting to replace the troop seats, I plan to do it in white or red oak, but the local lumber yard is 3-4 weeks out, but I would like to at least replace some of the boards for when(IF I fix brakes in time) I bring it to the Weare, NH military rally. Would pine be acceptable to sit...

I will be going through my brake system in the coming weeks. I will be looking for insight and advice as I go through the system.(sorry for long post, but want to be thorough) Truck is a 1952 M35 with Reo OA-331, everything stock except added reverse lights and a 12 volt converter. Brakes were...

Figured I'd post up my build here, it's based on a M1008 truck chassis, but with some major differences. First, I went with cab and chassis dually axles-they should be 4:10, but I have yet to confirm. I also did 63" Chevy 1 ton springs- almost all new trucks use this longer spring to help...

Can anyone tell me what size socket (needs to be deep as well) is used to pull the sparkplugs. I have tried every 13/16 I could find, seems none are deep enough. And 7/8 seems to be too large.... I tried searching, tried finding my old plugs, have absolutely no clue where the socket went I...

Can someone verify this is the correct part number for the OA331 gas motor fuel pump. AC pump, 9542, only numbers on the pump. I rebuilt it two years ago, but it appears the top diaphragm has ripped (I drained fuel for winter storage) priming it pushes fuel out the top vent. I picked up a...

Getting real close to do tires on my truck, 1952 M35, going back to duals from single 11.00R20s'. Couple questions on tube size and flap size. I haven't fully decided on going 9.00-20 or maybe stepping up to a 10.00-20. If I get 9.00-20 tubes, could I still use them in a 10.00-20 tire? I know...

Just purchased an m105 trailer, initial inspection I didn't see the data plate, which of course has the VIN on it. Would the VIN be stamped anywhere else on the trailer? I'm going to try and recover it tonight, it's in the back of the property in long grass, and the landing skid had broken so...

Looking for either a scale drawing or just rough measurement of the CUCV II front brush guard. These seem to be even harder to find then the regular CUCV guards. Thanks.

Hi all, really simple question, looking for an estimate of paint volume to paint an M35, frame axles, bed, pretty much everything. I will likely be able to remove fenders, hood, doors, bumpers, bed, but I will likely leave the cab in place, wheels may need to stay in place to paint...

Hi all, working on a truck that I would like to put a front grille cover on for the winter months. I have lots of canvas material and an industrial sewing machine. All I need are the outer dimensions of the cover, this way I can leave material where the slave plug and blackout lamp are and...

Hi all, I have been thinking of how to put in a cab heater; really just something to keep frost and fog off the the window, as I don't plan to run it too much in the colder weather. I'm just wondering if these early trucks came with an arctic kit that would supply an engine coolant supplied...

Hi all, recently picked up a Solargizer, and am wondering where people have been placing the solar panel- I have seen a couple mounted to the cowl-don't want to drill in the cowl and to the convoy lights, but I don't have convoy lights. looking for pictures please, and yes I have tried...

So, I drove the deuce to work, everything checked out this morning, good air, except my air buzzer has never worked, but for whatever reason at full pressure it started humming-seemed like a vent on the side, I tapped it, noise went away...anyways going through I check tire pressures, make sure...

I took apart my exhaust to fix a couple leaks(both end gaskets were completely blown out, center intake/exhaust gasket looked much newer, but also looked like it was on the verge of failing) and discovered that the heat valve for the bottom of the intake is gone, which makes me wonder if this...

I am looking for some input on a secondary driveline/parking brake. there have been a couple times my parking brake has not held, even though I routinely check and adjust. most of the time it is when I have a load and have to park it on more then a 5% grade. I thought about a pinion...

Hi all, looking for the part number/and or total length for the locking Hand Throttle Cable for the OA331 gas motor, I managed to misplace my parts book, and the end of the cable that broke-so unable to get full length. My brother has access to Mack truck parts, and we think we may be able to...

Hi all, haven't found much info, but I have been casually searching for a trailer for my deuce, and am wondering what the typical price range should be for a trailer. have seen a couple M105 trailers in the $1,200-1,500 range- supposedly all gone through and in working order, rust free. is that...

I have an M35 Gasser, and I have NO lights, BO or otherwise. checked grounds at turn-signals/parking lights, passenger headlight(drivers is still out gonna convert to H3's haven't done yet), and the BO headlight. I am starting to think that my three way switch is faulty or dead. is there a way...

So, went about getting my knuckles all put together, cleaned and inspected everything, installed the spindle, hub backing plate, and all of a sudden, no movement, can't turn the knuckle, can't even spin the axle. ?? Well tore it all back down(and realized that my "grade 8" nuts I bought are...
