All in all I think we got a good truck. It definitely has its problems (which one of these trucks that hasn't been fully restored doesn't?). But that's one of the reasons I got into MV's was to have a fun project. It definitely gets overwhelming at times, but I just remind myself to take it one...

Ok, it sounds like I have the tools needed covered to do the MC. Thanks for the tip on the wheel cylinders... Nationwide, that appears to be a pretty common saying with these trucks. That's the 3rd or 4th time I've heard it from varying people... :lol:

Ah, thanks for the tip... I wouldn't have thought to look there. I tried to put some of that muffler tape on the hole in the J-pipe as a temporary fix, aaand that held until I fired it up and went to drive it. I got back from the drive and the tape was completely gone, haha. I did top off the...

A pre-trip inspection is how I found the oil was low as well as most of the problems with the truck thus far. And yes I've checked the brake fluid.

Well, finally had a free day to go do some minor work on the truck. Wanted to address the fuel leak mentioned in the first post, as well as get the cover back on and take her for a spin and put some fresh diesel in the tank.

I do plan on putting the cables on the air drains... I don't even want to think about draining the tanks with 395's in its current configuration. I did notice the heat soak from the engine through the firewall was pretty significant, good thing when its cold, probably not so much in the summer...

I'm assuming shipping on rims/tires of that size wouldn't be worth the money? I'm interested in the A3 wheels... I didn't realize you could use those without flipping the hubs. I'm not sure when we're going to have the money together to do the single conversion, but its next on the list after...

Oh, and sorry for lack of pictures. That's the best one I have of it right now. I'll try to get more/better ones this weekend.

Well, we went and did all the title work and picked up our 1976 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 yesterday:smile:. I've been on the hunt for a Deuce for a little while now and finally decided on this one. Has a C turbo, White Multifuel engine, newer vinyl top, 11.00x20 tires (not in very good shape) and a few...
