i plan to restore it back to original condition. fix everything wrong with it put some fresh paint on it and sell it and try to make a little on her. then i want to do it again! i think it would be a pretty fun hobby! when i can afford to I'd like to start a collection of military vehicles...

Deuce Recovery story Well the trip started from Clearwater Florida to Jacksonville navel bases DRMO. It was about a 4 hour drive to get to the base from the gulf beaches in the Tampa bay area and it was upon arrival to the DRMO that all the fun starts. I was told the batteries were low...

i understand that, i worked on a lot of small block ford race cars but never diesel. water should be fine if i need it on the ride back for cooling from the recovery as long as i do a flush when i get her home? i plan on going through and replacing all fluids when i get back home anyway.

if you don't have coolant i'm in Florida is it OK to just add water? or should i really bring SAC coolant that's for a diesel

Thank for the info on the coolant i am getting my recovery stuff together this weekend for the trip to pick up my deuce. now i know ill have the right coolant. :)

Thanks for the offer! i own two retail stores and i am having a big Veterans Day sale but we don't open till noon. I'll try to at least stop by and say hi and check out your deuce before the parade. any tips I'm sure will be a big help. Thanks again and this has by far been the most helpful...

Thanks for the info. it will definitely help me be prepared for pick-up! i looked at a few before i placed a bid on this one i didn't think i would win it for my bid of 3k since it was a 86 which is pretty new for an m35a2c and looks to be in better condition then most. any idea what its really...

Hello all, I just bought a deuce from a military auction they say its in running condition but the battery is low. i would imagine they keep them in good running condition but has anyone ever bought one from a military auction before? i am needing to pick it up in the next couple weeks as...
