My data plate the VIN was removed as well. In the glovebox but mangled. I wish I had Bbqrod's fab skills. You're thinking of this guy: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?123248-Hood-lift-kit-for-the-M35A2&highlight= The Ga. MVPA has small monthly meetings but the attendance is very...

1. There were deuce built in 1989, but just like your 1968 Road Runner might have some individual components that were built in 1967 and installed on the 1968 model car, your 1989 truck may have some 1988 parts on it. 2. The majority of USAF 1987-1989 trucks I have encountered were originally...

We're going to try and go to this. We appreciate the invite from the Ga. MVPA.

Oh, I know that truck and the seller(s)! Very reputable folks. You live in Madison? We're right over on the West side of Athens in Statham. You're welcome to come visit any time you wanna' talk M35 stuff. The rally is EPIC-we had 131 powered military vehicles last year. It's one of the...

It has air over hydraulic. Pressurized air from a gladhand pressurizes an assy., which applies mechanical pressure to a standard master cylinder, which then applies hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinders. So it's a typical hydraulic brake system, but it's activated by air versus mechanical...

The military loves dropping things out of the sky. Sometimes it works. Before: After:

Napa can special order it. I think it's 4". Measure yours and go ask them for defroster ducting.

You need to talk to this guy: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?15115-African-Queen-1943-M16A2-MGMC-Half-Track He repatriated his.

It might weigh less than 26,001 lbs., but that isn't how CDLs and plates are rated. They're based on the total vehicular rated capability (GVWR) and I'd assume a bridge truck is probably something like 50K lbs. GVWR.

I mean, what's your goal with it? Do you just think it's neat? Do you want to enter the military vehicle hobby? Want a deuce? Looking for a truck to refurbish and resale? A lot of this depends upon your intent. I like gasser M44 trucks-they're really rare and unusual, but they're tough to...

1. We ask that images be posted here on SS, versus hosted somewhere else. Here's a tutorial: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial&p=1295196&viewfull=1#post1295196 2. That is a really cool truck. It isn't an M35A1-it's an M35. An A1 would have...

This drives me nuts. I was looking for an answer for something on my Mom's PT Cruiser and a Neon/Cruiser forum had this guy who showed up, posted exactly the issue I was having, dozens of people offered suggestions and there was no conclusion to the thread. Drives me bananas.

Obviously the pictured vehicle isn't done, but my '69 Satellite 440/4speed/Dana60 had Hemi springs I had taken apart, blasted and painted and they still looked good 20K miles later. At some point, all leaf springs will look like this because the inherent nature of a spring is to move and as the...

We've bought about 35-40 trucks from GL, none from GP. Only 3 had records and that was because the USAF left them in the truck. The overwhelming odds are you will not get records with whatever you buy.

Until you take them apart, sandblast, paint and reassemble. This stops the problem.

MB engines were green, GPWs were Ford gray. This thread might be of some help, but the majority of the pictures are in B&W-color WWII shots are uncommon. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?133738-Your-favorite-pictures-this-time-let-s-do-WWII-Jeeps! In short, if you look at enough...

That's awesome. I'm going to see if I can find one of these.

Ah! I see what you mean. As soon as it stops raining, I'll try that.

Well, this engine sat uncranked for 5+ years at a minimum but a broken shaft does seem like a stretch to me as well. The output is pulsing when the engine is cranking-I haven't gotten it to fire obviously. But the pulsing may be as the starter loads and unloads the batteries, the electric...
