:-(While Yesterday I finalized the deal which sent my Gama Goat to its new home and picked up a New M35a2.:-D The truck looks like it was just overhauled just before gl got it. It has a new radiator and the engine looks new still has a lot of part #s that can be seen. I can see were the old plate on the side of the block was, but it fell off. In one of the pics there is a vent type tube that is right above the air filter any ideas. I have not yet had time to trace were it goes.

Thats what I thought when I got home and started reading that post. I went to the DMV and got the title in my name. On the title it says nothing about GL. Now I got to put my 395s on it and get it ready for a trip.

While today I took the 395s off the other truck and put them on the new one.(post pics friday) I gave it a good look over and it seems to have a ton of new parts. No leaks and all seals look like new. I have a couple of questions 1st what are the little flaps on the top of the cargo cover one in each corner, 2nd what color should the rims be and the grille guard. I seen then black or tan? Is a matter of taste.

On my green camo cargo cover there are vents in each of these locations that look like dryer duct exhaust vents (triangular when viewed from the side, with the opening pointing down). I'm guessing that your truck saw action in the middle-east & MAYBE they close those vents off to prevent sand from blowing in??

Tan trucks get everything coated with the same color when painted at the depot level. They load the gun and spray, then on to the next one. The unit level may change things up a little bit.

My tan deuce looks like it was brush painted. Looks good from a distance. Oh well, maybe when I re paint it I will use a brush.

Ya know to keep it original [thumbzup]
