Welcome from a fellow new guy. 4 months into my first deuce.. I picked up a mint M105 at Ft. Polk a few weeks back for a click above minimum. Unfortunately my wife has a death grip on the check book and refuses to let me do any upgrades at this time. Welcome again and congrats!!

Amazing how different these trucks look with those monster tires. Now I know that you can use the stock wheels without flipping the hubs. I may look into doing this myself. I know a guy who gets the Michelin 395's and ships them overseas. I need to call him and order 7 of his better ones...

The flywheel is probably ok, but I would go get a new ring gear and replace it. A lot cheaper ($40 vs $300+) than replacing the whole flywheel. Takes about 10 minutes once the flywheel is off. Or just flip the ring gear 180 degrees and re-use the opposite side that's not chewed up. FYI...

Rules of thumb... Put the ground clamp close to the point of the weld. Don't weld across bearings. It may arc and screw the bearing. Don't weld if a fuel source is between the weld and ground.. Any arc can start a fire... Trust me!! Bottom line.. Put the ground clamp Close the the point of the...

You have an A3 which means you likely paid well over 3 grand for the truck. You do know that you can buy military replacement batts for $150 a piece new.. or Interstate remans for $60. Buy some new batteries.. Problem solved..

Have it shipped. Sounds you're talking yourself in to it anyway.

Beautiful truck. And since your wife is smiling (mine is still not smiling about my truck) that is a plus... Congrats..

I would think that front tires spinning at a slower RPM than the rear, which are all being powered from the transfer case would cause the T-case to explode. I don't know why there would be a difference between an air shift T-case or a sprag (I've never really read up on their operation). Once...

Great job making use of wasted space.. And by the way that is a fantastic looking camper truck..

:ditto:

Great job!.. Now if I can only get motivated to get back started on mine..

Easy enough... Drive into Louisiana to Ken's ATV in Robert, La. and test drive the A3 he has on his lot... 1991 M35A3 - Ken's ATV

Welcome... So kenpugh1, what will be your flavor? CUCV, deuce, 5 tons, wreckers?????????

:ditto:

Nice paint job crappy!!! [thumbzup]

I do not see any cancer rust on it, which is pretty incredible for a truck that's been sitting out that long.. Yes, you need to put it in the hands of someone who is capable of a challenging restoration. I am NOT that person..

Contact member ranchhopper. He has some 383 green in CARC stashed away and may sell you a few gallons. I bought 2 gallons from him a few months ago... 2 gallons should cover your truck once it is thinned. Once you have the base green on the truck, Rapco rattle cans in black and brown should...

Nice score on the 2-fer... I would like to get just one A3..

Bring the necessary jack and tools and put the spare on if you plan to drive it (if a spare is on the truck). I would not trust that tire, especially it it was driven on while flat..
