I switched the fronts and rears to LED on mine and have no issues with the stock flasher. I bought the bases on ebay. Pulled the guts out of the housings and the bases just screwed up to the housings. Had to track down some 12-24 screws though since the screws on the stock covers were too long...

The correct one will have two wires coming out of it. It will go to a Canon connector connected to about six feet of harness coiled under the truck and zip tied up. I thought my pressure switch was bad, so I ordered a new one. It actually turned out the Canon connector was bad. I just took the...

The trailer plug harness I bought on ebay. Your price may vary. I paid only $30 for the one I bought. The civvy trailer connector, 24v-12v converter, 24v relays and relay holders I purchased on Amazon. The PVC electric box I bought at Home Depot. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004N5U7DS...

Here is my setup for my M35A2. I built my own converter. I used a 24v to 12v 20A converter to get the 12 volts. Power is supplied to the converter from the service light pin. The left and right turn signals are activated through 24v relays to switch the 12v to the turn lamps. The 12v output of...

You're right. The Wikipedia page states "The LDT-465-1D was the last version of the Multi Fuel, it had the same 3LJ319 Turbo (whistler), or the quieter 3LM39 (non-whistler), better head gasket sealing and head cooling." I was told the D meant that it had the quieter turbo, but I see the wiki...

I have a 1987 Air Force M35A2C with the D engine in it. The D engine has the upgraded head gaskets in it and the quieter non-whistler turbo.

I like the custom sloped hood you have on yours as well as the roof spoiler.

He could easily install a hydraulic winch in the back.

Are there any other holes in the truck bed? With the guard in back of the cab, I am guessing it had a boom or bucket lift in the back.

No bed on it when I bought it. Still making plans on how fabricate a R/V on the back. M109 van bodies seem to be rare and it seems the same person keeps paying premium prices for the S-280 shelters on GovLiquidation.

I now have a 1987 M35A2C. No complaints yet from the city! If I do receive one, I have Historic Plates on it and the city can not do a darn thing about it! I changed the tires and wheels from the 11.00R20s that were on it to 395/85/20 and installed a winch. This thing is BAD A$$ looking. I...

Love those old military operator manuals. I don't think they would get away with publishing ones like those nowadays.

City of Phoenix and Glendale give MV owners a hard time unless they have Historic Plates on them. State law overrides any municipal law on parking and driving restriction of MVs or commercial type vehicles with Historic Plates. My neighbor in Glendale gets constant grief from city code...

I didn't have any luck locating a S280 shelter.

Had to sell my m923. Sad day. Now on to looking for an older M35 with a radio box that I can convert to an RV so I can tell the city to stuff it next time.
