Definitely get a hold of TedG. Not only does he have a line on parts but he's a wealth of information and will be more than happy to answer your questions.

If I had the coin and fit in the cab I'd be first in line! :drool:

BTW, 6'5" 350 lbs. Oh, and the bottom of the wheel was WWWAAAYYY too close to my favorite jewels! :neutral:

The reason I had to give up my dream of owning an M35.

Something else to look at for grins, how's the tranny fluid? Maybe it's starting to get burnt and the trans is starting to slip. Might be just a little but enough to screw up your MPG's. Just a thought.

Good find!

I'm usually watching the auctions there but trucks are selling RIDICULOUSLY high anymore. I've found that buying one off of a private party (since I don't need a whole truck anyway) would net me one for 10% of what Gl trucks sell for. I've got this project on hold for the time being (economy and...

You have my undevided attention. Send me a PM with some more details, I'll ask around to see if I can find a kind soul to haul it for me.

Quick trailering question. How tall is a deuce with 53's on it? I'm trying to figure out if the truck I want to build is ging to be too tall to be trailered to where I need to go. Stock M35 is ~9'4" on ~40" 9.00x20's. If you were to swap out for ~53" 16.00R20's that adds 6.5" in frame height and...

OUCH! Did you do that or did it come pre-broke in?

I think it's a helluva idea. As a matter of fact, I'm working on doing the same thing. Only I want to leave it a 6x6 with a flatbed and a built smallblock with an automatic. One problem I thought about, will that big motor fit in the engine compartment (lengthwise) of a small truck? That's one...

I'm looking at a couple trucks to buy, but before I decide on anything, I need to figure out what transportation would cost. It would be from Northern OH (one truck's on the Western side, one truck's on the Eastern side) to basically the Lansing, MI area. Probably 150 miles one way. I don't have...

So, out of curiosity, nearest I can tell, the multi-fuel is 165 hp and 350 ft/lbs torque correct? So, mounting up a 350 SBC mildly built should put me at about double the hp but more importantly the same or better torque. With a 700R4 or 4L80 should still be able to get 55-60 mph. Is my...

Grounded- Do you have any springs, hangers and t-case to go with those axles? PM me.

Nah, the only waste is one that never gets used. This way it's on the road like God intended. Just with a differant cab. I thought about that after seeing that truck before. Unfortunately, I know my limitations. I'm definitely not a body man when it comes to welding. Building structural...
