I bought another AF deuce since I last posted. It came from a fire dept. There were no bed sides, it wasn't complete, but by the time I went to get it they found everything except the tail gate. It was advertised as an 82, but I knew enough about them to know what it was. It has bad brakes. I need a MC for it. I ordered one from Summit on advice from here, but they won't have it to ship until September. It's frustrating waiting but don't know what else to do.
I have paperwork on a bunch of AF deuces that came with one of my trucks. I think they were all McCord trucks. If I see any of the truck serial numbers from this thread I'll post it.

I've had a lot of trouble getting my airforce truck's brakes working correctly. No matter how much i bleed them, they always take an initial pump of the peddle to firm up. This after replacing one of the boosters.

Here's two more:

1040-11557 5-1989 No registration number anywhere, no winch
0940-10835 11-1985 86K-1133 no winch

I've bought the dual circuit masters at my local auto parts store which is a carquest. Regular catalog item, comes in a day or two. They didn't ask for a core.

The dual circuit has the best brakes of any deuce I've got and the pedal is firm with minimal travel even after sitting for weeks or a couple months. I fully rebuilt the entire system though. IIRC it was a bit of a pain to bleed out completely.

I have access to casting companies but I would be awfully leery of making parts for a brake system.

Hello!

I just acquired a M35A2C with ID # 86K1273 0340-10903, but the blue warranty tag is dated 1-85. It does have the D turbo with a flapper on the stack. Showing 24,805 miles with 800 hours.

Welcome to the deuce club!

Did that come out of the service with air-assisted steering?! That's what the warranty plate seems to indicate. I thought only the A3 trucks got that from the factory, but this is the Army we're talking about after all - anything can happen :p

No air-assisted steering, unfortunately!
