    M35A3 Title Problems in Georgia

    Hint: you are going to have to crawl under your truck, take a.side grinder with a sandpaper flapper on it, and remove.the.paint from the front inside of the frame.rail. You will.find a.magic number hidden under 35 coats of paint. Send.THAT number to Carnac. Perhaps you should.use chemical...

    Hmm... find the numbers stamped on the frame and get the information on it from carnac and call it an A2 from it's original incarnation?

    dana 60 front locker Eaton limited

    Keep the Eaton! Is is NOT a weak link and it will be a lot easier to turn tight turns with it that ANY other locker than an ARB. It is already paid for and already installed. Imho, that is the best automatic "locker" that you can have in the front end.

    Two Deuces one direction??? and im unsure

    Oh, that is really a tough one. Which do YOU like best? Personally, is the A2 is in the same or better condition, if so, that is what I would go with. A multifuel engine is really hard to beat. How many vehicles can run on free fuel? My A3 only runs on diesel or bio-diesel. I just...

    Adventures in WMO

    This was a very tough decision for me, and for many folks, the single significant deciding factor between buying a A2 vs a A3 with fuel prices today. (Of course, you need to consider if you plan to single it out or not--if going to singles, it is a no-brainer to start off with the A3). With...

    Is a CUCV a good first truck to learn mechanical skills?

    That is probably the best "modern" MV that you could buy to learn on. That said, you need to decide just how much you want to learn all at once with the install purchase. If you love a challenge, get one straight off.of.GL and go for it. However, if you don't mind paying a bit more up front...

    M36A3 Camper?

    I believe that would be the long wheelbase version of the A3, and that they are somewhat hard to find.

    You buy, I fly. I'll drive it to you.

    Yes, GL has a standard form for that. I have recovered for someone else before. There was no problem doing it that way.

    Towbar from NC to NY state

    I'm just about done in upstate NY and will be going back to NC some time next week. The offer stands if you want me to haul it back up here some time this summer. I can get it to Albany.

    What happens if I dont pay Government Liquidation?

    Don't forget about the visit you will get from the men in the black suits! Just kidding, couldn't resist.

    My Sheriff wants a deuce for the S.O.

    It sounds like the process has not changed in a very long time. In 1970-1971 I was young and dumb, and thought one way helicopter rides were fun, I did the really big fire fighting thing both for the BLM and NDF. We got our deuce for free. It had a slight mishap when the B-17 that was...

    How much to insure an A3? How much for tools?

    Every state is different. I have liability only with Statefarm on a commercial/non-business policy for.$167 per ssix months. The A3 VIN will not go through their computer system. The NC DMV didn't like the VIN either...Good luck.

    Deuce rebuild tag??

    Hmm... perhaps it has not been rebuilt? Didn't need to be? There should be some tags if it had been.

    Travel Help MD to NC

    Now.that sounds like a man with a plan. Is this a one way trip? Perhaps moving to NC? Over the last 23 years, it has proven a great place to live. All 4 seasons, but not too much winter--unless you are in western NC. The CMVPA has a great bunch of guys, if you are.going to.stay.

    newest picture of my 37mm anti tank gun i just finished

    Excellent idea, thank you. I will have to start looking around on my travels. Neither VFWs near me have anything on display.

    Looking to Deuce in Wisconsin

    Closed minded arrogance and ignorance aside, either the A2 or A3 are great trucks. If you are planning on super singles and air assist steering, the A3 is hands down the way to go. If you like the duals in back and a manual trans go with the A2.

    That looks great. I''ve been looking for some drawings.to build a howetzer replica to pull behind my deuce.
