I know it has been discussed, but am not sure what the final word is. Translated, I did not understand. Could suggest a brand and source for locking hubs for an M35?
I was initially looking at Overson at 595.00. It their a less expensive (but good) option.
Seems like it the truck is going to...
I when out to look at my deuce tonight before work. I found a small pool of greenish liquid on the inside (bottom) of the front rim. I almost looks like antifreeze but greesy. I have not been driving and just noticed it for the first time. It did warm yesterday to 75 here and I hosed it down to...

Does anyone have any suggestions for BRIGHT backup lights on an M35 and where to get them. They do not need to work off reverse. I want them on a switch.
Thanks
Tom
I am trying to sort out what paint to buy for my M35. Does anyone have a photo of a truck or anything for that matter in Gillespie 24087 OD Semi Gloss and 34079 Lusterless Forrest Green.
Thanks

Well, I have read all the posts about paint in the restoration section and now I am really confused.
Here is what I have been doing. I was planning on painting with Aerove Semi Gloss OD (Vietnam stuff) I have been wire wheeling and bloc sanding all the surfaces and going to bare metal where...
I am not really even sure what it is called. I am looking to move the air intake from vertical to horizontal with a 90 degree elbow. Does anyone know where I could find such an elbow?
Thanks
Tom
Quick question.I am planning on using my deuce during the winter months for plowing and the rest of the year on the road. Is there an advantage to removing the drive to the rear duals for the summer, fall and spring and replacing it for plowing in the winter? If so, is there an easy way to do...
I just recieved a Solargizer from Ted's Trucks (very fast shipping). I am curious where people are mounting them.
I was thinking on the top of the leg holding bracket for the gun turret (that I wish I had)
Any thoughts
Tom
I was hoping that someone could give me some help wit the Id numbers on my truck.
Here is what I have, all from the Dash plate

Ok, I think I am about to show off how new I am to this. I changed out the front wheels on my m35 today, found an interesting thing that I do not understand.
The passenger side has normal thread pattern and the drivers side is reverse. My M105 is the same. Not a problem once I figured it out...
I finally got my m105 trailer home from GL today.
Lesson 1: Plan Extra Time (loaded the Jeep down pretty well)
Lesson 2: Bring Tools ( Jack, SPARE, Wrench at a min)
Lesson 3: Bring Cell Phone and Wallet (Make that a wallet that has a credit card)
Lesson 4: Get Ready for the Wifes' I told...
I am thinking that in the future I would like to replace the cargo bed on my M35 with a shop van that could be converted to a small camper. Is this possible?
If so where would I find the van box (I am in NY) or would it be cheaper to just buy a second truck that is already a shop van setup...
Yes, I have not even picked up my deuce and I am already planning on what I want to add/change.
It currently has stock NDT tires. They are all in good shape. When they go I want to put tires like the ones in photo. Not the same size, just tread pattern. Does anyone know what they are and where...
Does anyone have any ideas or photos of loading ramps for a deuce to allow ATV to be loaded.
I think the commerical alum. ramps 91" will be to short.

Does anyone know of a simple way to use the stock m105 24v trailer lights with a 12v 4pin flat vehical adapter.
I hate to spend 50.00 for magnetic lights fro 1 trip.
Any help would be great
Tom
I am new to this and not sure where I could find out what the bumper numbers stand for.
The Drivers side front is "SVS2-A"
The Passenger side is "42-IF258" I am guessing on the 4 it is pretty worn off
Any help or advice would be great
Tom
Hello all,
I had the pleasure of visiting my soon to be first deuce today. WOW !! a really fun drive and very enjoyable afternoon. If anyone has the opportunity to do business with John Tennis (JATONKA) you could not find a nicer and my helpful guy. After taking the truck out for a run and...
I need a little advice. I am picking up my first deuce in the next several weeks. To pass what seems like forever, I have been planning for a summer worth of projects. I know that I am going to return the truck to Vietnam era OD green (semi gloss). My question is should I be painting stars and...
