Looks like they are out of business.... any other recommendations?

I had the same problem with my alternator. I would pull it off, (the top half) and inspect the brushes and any capacitors that may look burned or damaged. You can also get a new top half from Eriks Surplus in Escondido. (and they have new brushes for cheap. Try that before you go spend 400+ on a...

Yes, I am aware of the liability issues at hand, its to bad our society has come to this. I dont plan on doing this on a regular basis, but if I had to for some reason, id like to at least know the laws regarding it. One instance is during christmas time, our local neighborhood goes crazy with...

I have read through the forums about various seatbelt laws for older vehicles, but none seem to be clear cut. I would like to haul some people in the back of the deuce, and not sure if seatbelts are required here in CA. The only loophole that I can think of is that this truck was originally...

Does the CARC paint contain led? I was thinking of doing small parts off the truck in my backyard, then taking the truck somewhere to have it professionally done. Also are supplied air respirators a must when sandblasting? A good 3m full filter mask wont work? Thanks for the responses guys.

Hello all, I have a light duty gravity fed sandblaster that says its capable of using almost any type of blasting media. I would like to experiment with using this to sand various parts on my Deuce, and possibly the whole truck depending on how it works out. But I have heard a lot about...

Thats another good point we should bring up. is it worth rebuilding each one? or just replace the whole wheel cylinder?

So for safety reasons, I am looking to change out all the wheel cylinders on my M35A2. I have done one in the past, but I think its time to get them all out of the way. Question is: Ive seen several makes and brands of these, a lot of them are chinese or Korean made. What brands are out there...

I firmly believe if you cannot work on this truck yourself, you bought the wrong truck. These trucks do require constant inspection of brakes, air system, engine, etc. And these are all safety issues. If you have no idea how they function, and dont care to work on it yourself, you are just a...

Lonegunmann, Thanks for your reply, definitely going to look for an A3, there are 2 coming up next week in Utah. Going to try to get one of those if budget permits. I will let you all know how it goes, Thanks Thomas

Mark, Thanks for your reply, yes, I guess a visual inspection is better than no inspection at all, How far do you live from Clearfield? The one im considering bidding on is coming up in about a week and a half. Regards, Thomas

So I currently own a 68 M35a2, and I am seriously considering a M35A3 from Utah. I live in So california and cannot get up there to view the truck. I am not concerned with the air system, leaking wheel cylinders, etc. (small stuff). I am concerned with the Cat Diesel and the Allison Trans and...
