My Deuce has been sitting so I have decided to Bob her, with some free parts from the motor pool it is going to be easier then I thought. Anyway I am looking for pointers in the best way...

    warning!

    I was speaking with some unnamed GL employees who stated that they were shipping items from other states because for some reason they sold for higher prices in states like AL / GA. Like it was stated before on this site they are picking these trucks up with large fork lifts and causing damage...

    Auction items coming!

    Well I was in OH to pick up some lots from a few locations and had a chance to walk around a warehouse (GL) while waiting for the employees to get off break. Some interesting crap rolling through, most interesting looks to be some rims for trucks. Not knowing any better I would assume they are...

    Locking the M35

    Just wanted to say I bought a Master Lock version of the "club" to try out with the Deuce. Now while the steering wheel is too big it actually fit well on the pedals. I simply fitted one end under the fuel pedal, lodged it onto the brake pedal and against the side of the truck. Cannot move it...

    Short Notice KY members!!!!

    This Thursday we are meeting to support a little boy (6) who has cancer and is going through treatment. He loves LEO, Fire, EMS, Military, etc. So a bunch of us from various cities (should be quite a few) are going to his house to shave our melons to show support. Reason for this is he has lost...

If so your...

    Wood Gasification

    Ok this is a thread I am starting for the purpose of gathering ideas and SLOWLY posting a conversion to burning wood gas as a fuel in my MV. Now Wood Gas (WG) has been used in the past two world wars as a viable fuel alternative for MV's, so i know it works. In addition I already have the...

    I found these guys years ago, they have grown it seems. Basically they have tracks you can install on your POV, they have some for the Humvee, I emailed about the Deuce to see if they have a M35 version. Check out the videos, its pretty cool what adding tracks to a normal truck will allow it to...

    M101

    I have a M101 trailer, nice canvas.. But no bows. Now I know I can make the bows entirely out of wood but I would much rather have a real set. I would also like to get a hold of another rim / tire. I was wondering if anyone had some for sale? I also have some surplus I would be willing to trade...

    Tools I will need for M35A2?

    Ok so my Deuce is not to far from being picked up, and needless to say I could be more ready but like having a baby I doubt I could ever be prepared. That being said I would like all you Deuce owners to pipe in on what I should be looking into buying for both the field and for the garage. At...
