Hey all, Finally finished some work on my truck. Added a fresh coat of paint all the way around, reverse lights on a switch, License plate bracket and light, and marker lights around the truck. I took my cues from the A3 style beds, had a friend fab up some brackets, and I think the end...

Hey all, I am in the process of cleaning up and "restoring" my deuce. As part of the process, I am adding rear brackets identical to the M35A3 which will contain both rear corner (RED) marker lamps, and REVERSE lights. I want to keep things looking original military, so my question is this...

Hey all, Just looking for some input from the pros. I am going to tackle touch-up paint work on my truck this fall. As part of this clean up process, I would like to repaint the bumper to properly ID the trucks lineage, as well as adding my own little touch to make it not-so-official-looking...

Hi all, I’ve been battling an intermittent starter switch (push-button style) in my deuce. I was wondering about the ¼ turn style I have seen in some of the deuces (see attached picture)….are these readily available? Are they a switch specific to the m35a2, or is it the same switch as the one...

Hello All, Some friends of mine recently bit the bullet and picked up one the military steam/pressure cleaners from GL. The unit is manufactured by the American Kleaner Corp. , it seems to be all in-tact, appears completely un-used, with 1 hr of operation on the hour meter. All hoses, wands...

Hey all, I hope you all are doing well. This past weekend, I ventured in to my first parade operation in my deuce. I pulled the TEAC (Technology Education Association of California University of PA) float in our homecoming parade. I graduated from the Tech Ed program there a few years ago, and...

Hello all, I just picked up my classic plate paperwork from the Notary. The DMV rejected my application because of the scratches on the front bumper, and said that my paint has a "blue tint" to it. I admit the paint is somewhat faded, but I didnt think it was THAT bad. Anyway, I have a few...

Well all, Finally had a chance to take some pics of the truck, cleaned up, and finish the current mods list. Including pics, heres what I have so far... - Re-plumbed heater hoses with new 1/4 turn valves - Installed the Alcohol Evap. kit on the air system - Installed the VIC-1 intercom...

Hey all, Had a free day today so I decided it was time to work on the deuce. Installed my VIC-1 intercom kit and I am totally impressed. It was well worth the purchase price and effort. For anyone seriously considering the VIC-1 as a future mod for their truck, I would encourage you to do so...

Hey all, I have installed the wiper upgrade kit from Saturn Surplus, now my wipers tend to bounce down in to my field of view as I`m driving down the road. The upgrades seem to be a bit heavier than the stock wiper kits and now they just wont stay up and to the right in, what I call, the...

Hey all, Need to make a decision on my new deuce, and I cant come up with a set solution, so I am going to try and get the general consensus from my fellow Steel Soldiers. I just bought an M35A2C which I believe is an original AF truck, and it has the flapper style exhaust stack. Prior to...

Hey All, Just pondering some mods I want to do for my deuce. Firstly, Ive been eye`n up the M35A3 air seat. Anyone ever install one of these in an A2? Just curious about how well the seat would fit in an A2 compared to the standard seat or the A3 truck. Any Ideas? If anyone knows where one...

Hello all!, Thanks for having me on SS. I just recently purchased a 1980 AM General M35A2 and was looking for some first timer input from the pros here! Its an LDT-465-1C with the "whistler"....couldn't resist the turbo sing :) Anyway, I`m going to pick it up tomorrow. The truck looks...
