Hey All, Been a long time since I've posted. I'm VERY Happy to say that my 1971 G.P.D. Jeep Corp M35A2 Non Turbo Is Now Titled and Registered as a California Historical Vehicle. She now sits at my house with shiny new license plates and Im ready to start the R&R. This is my last project before i...

Hey all, Ok, so I found a bunch of threads about on road downgrades in a Deuce, what gears to use going down hill and about using the brakes without cooking them on steep on road hills. However, I haven't found anything about maneuvering a Deuce safely down steep OFF road hills. And I have also...

Hey All, My Deuce is missing one of it's trumpets. I believe it is the longer of the two, and it was gone when I bought the truck. I have searched just about all the surplus parts suppliers and all I can find is the complete horn assembly. It seems nobody has just the trumpets for sale. I was...

Hey All, Ok I know this is probably a dumb newb question, but after searching and some extensive TM reading I still haven't found a definite answer. When engaging the front wheel drive on the T case, can you be moving or must you be completely stopped? I realize that hitting the switch when...

Hey all, I was surfing around looking at tires and found these: Hercules Road Force RF/GF 118. It looks like they make them for tube type tire applications. I did a search and it appears nobody has talked about these. What do you think? Here is a link...

Hey all, Well I'm feeling kinda dumb. I am reading through TM 9-2320-209-20-2-1 (Organizational level-Troubleshooting multifuel M35) and I keep finding things that say to refer to volume 3. My problem is, I can't find volume 3!!aua Could anyone please direct me to this "volume 3"? It doesn't...

Hey All, Well, I finally got my truck! Its now at its temporary home about 45 minutes from my house. It hadn't ran in 7 years and it fired right up for me to load it on the trailer. It does have a couple issues, all gages with electric senders don't work, headlights work but no other lights do...

Hey All, Maybe its been answered but I can't seem to find it so here goes. Is the frame VIN on a Deuce actually stamped into the metal? My future Deuce has a matching frame VIN but it looks like its only stamped in the paint. I would sand down the paint to check it myself but I'm afraid if I do...

Hey All, I went up to look at the M35A2 that I'm in the process of buying last weekend and I have a couple questions. 1: The transmission is a TMC 3053 transmission. I'm wondering, what is the difference between a 3053 and a 3053A and who is TMC? The data plate said Wolverhampton England or...

Hey all, A friend just gave me a Spicer forward reverse 2 speed PTO. I was told that it came off a 5 ton but he didn't know what series truck it came from. The Data Plate as seen: Spicer ORD 740958 D model (the last character on the number is not legible:roll:) 173...

Hey All, Had enough of trying to search for it. I'm getting a 1971 M35A2 with the LD-465-1C(non turbo) engine. There are a lot of threads on here about how to disable/bypass the FDC and if its worth doing. I have also read that it helps with mileage and gives you a bit more power. Problem is...

Hey All, I have searched the forum and found many threads with the question of, "Is it worth putting lockout hubs on the front axle of a Deuce?", But I can't seem to find any threads asking, "what are the best lockout hubs for a Deuce?" I like the Ouverson Offroad and the AVM lockout hubs. The...

Hey All, I have been looking for aftermarket rims that have the 6 hole pattern for the Deuce. Mainly, tubeless rims for 11 or 12R22.5 tires. Aside from Red Barn Customs, would you recommend any other companies? Or a civilian truck that might have the same lug pattern? Also, what are your...

Hey All, Yet another possibly goofy question from a newbie of MV's. I'm looking at getting a 1971 M35A2. The seller bought it from a private collector years ago. It was never made street legal and there is no title or SF-97 form. I have talked with DMV and they have told me that since I am not...

Hey All, New to the site so my question might be dumb, but here goes. I was just given the opportunity to purchase a 1971 M35A2 that has 17000 miles on it for basically scrap price. I don't think it has been overhauled. It has a White Hercules LD-465-1C according to the data plate on the...
