I am looking at the option of changing out my leaky steel fuel tank in my bobbed M35A2 for the aluminum A3 fuel tank, but the only ones I can find are NOS, and stripped. Does anyone know what other "A3" parts I'd need to swap over to make the A3 tank work on my Deuce? Looks like the fuel...

Any updates on the system that you ordered?

That's part of the problem. The shop closed down and the A3 owner doesn't know. So without breaking down the wheels, there's no way to tell. That's why I'm trying to find out if anyone else has done this, and if there are any problems with doing so. One of the problems I find with sourcing the...

The purpose is just to avoid buying more "old" M35A3 wheels and wanting to keep air in the tires so I can drive. They are going on an A2 so there isn't going to be a CTIS system to work with. I saw a local guy's A3 with tubed 14.5-20 tires and the tube's valve stem comes out of the original...

Has anyone put tubes in their M35A3 wheels with 14.5-20 tires? I'm trying to salvage my "rusty" M35A3 wheels that look too rusty for the o-rings to seal.

I think turbochargers need to be matched to the application, at least as far as the parameters of displacment, RPM (for total mass flow rate) and boost pressure. Given that the M35 engine is about 50% larger in displacement than the Duramax, I doubt that any substantial performance benefit is...

I posted a wanted ad. I also found the actual mirrors (approx 7x10 rectangular) on flea-bay. I can make the straight pieces to attach to the door hinges and make a spring loaded attachment to the front. But what I would have a hard time making are the two short curved tubes that connect the...

The modification to the old single-arm style seems the easiest to fabricate. Any idea where I could find a pair of the old single arm, or Vietnam era mirrors & brackets? I've also thought of just making up a pair of brackets from 3/16 x 1" flat stock. But before I start making things from...

I'm completing my Bobber project and expect to be operating it in a wooded area periodically. I'd like to use some kind of rearview side mounted mirrors that are NOT the "West Coast" type mirrors. Those just stick out too far and will get bent in the woods. Is there any source for a smaller...

Any updates to report on the brake system?

There's not enough steel on the outside hinge barrels to allow for drilling to 7/16". Might be possible to drill 5/16" and use a "sleeved" 1/4" bolt. (If you can find some metal tubing to make that kind of a sleeve from.) Otherwise, it looks like to make "bolts" to hold mirrors, you can turn...

I kept the original hinges that were on the cabs and just changed the doors, and the original doors all fit just fine. All hinges were kept with each respective truck. Only the doors were swapped. One was just rustier than the other, which is why I wanted to change doors. I did a "swap" with...

Does anyone know how to adjust the door to fit the door opening of a Deuce? I installed a new door on the drivers side of my Deuce and the door needs to be closer to the front of the cab by at least 1/4 inch to close. I read through TM9-2320-361-24-2 and it provides no details on door...

If you are still interested, please send me your phone number or give me a call. Gary R.

I'm just checking to see if anyone performs this kind of work for pay (or barter) in Northern Alabama or South Central Tennessee. I have 3 deuces and I am planning to either trade two for the work or sell two and pay for the work. But I'd like to keep the project local. Anyone know of anyone...
