I have an M105 wiring harness I am about to cut into to create a converter box for my deuce. My question is: is the main rubber line a sheath around individually wrapped wires, or is it one thick piece of cast rubber with the wires running inside? Inquiring about the part that is circled...

I spent some time on search this morning and found some threads where folks DID what I want to do, but no one specifically mentioned HOW. I am wiring up the 12v alt in my truck, and want to run it with a switched energized wire from a 24v relay, include a fuse box and a 12v voltmeter. I drew...

My Sherman had a good week this week: re-bled the brakes and topped off the fluid my first oil change! $125 bucks later :-(. The oil was in great shape though, no sludge and no shavings or metal pieces. The WMO was good enough I felt ok pouring it into the fuel tank. fixed a stripped-out bolt...

I am trying to find an unuseable/non-serviceable airpack I can steal hard parts from for mine (which has a busted rear cover.) The usual suspects just raise an eyebrow when I ask about it. I have sent pm's to folks who have listed trucks they are parting out, but no dice yet. Any ideas where...

Before the flames come out: I searched through half a dozen TM's and on the site, however at this point I am ready to accept defeat. Can someone lend a brother a hand and point me to the TM I need to rebuild the MC in my '68 deuce? I assume once I get the soft parts out I am ok to hot tank...

I pulled my airpack today for an R&R and it leads me to a couple of questions. should I pull the master cylinder as long as I am down there and have the airpack out of the way? attached are pic's of the MC. It looks pretty clean to be honest, it's in much better shape than the airpack, but...

I put a new one-piece rubber boot on my truck today, and haven't been able to get the spindle back on? Everything got cleaned and no installation problems up until I tried to get the spindle on, but it won't seat all the way. It gets to within ~1/4" of sitting against the hub, but then is...

I had some extra time after a servicing yesterday, and decided to oil my airpack. I was fortunate enough that the square plug unscrewed with just a little bit of convincing. I grabbed a syringe and 1oz of air tool oil and started to put it in. I got about 1/3 of it in, when it started oozing...

I posted this same question buried deep in a tangentially related thread - so I am pulling it out to see if I can get some help. I am doing a clutch job on my deuce, and in pulling the tranny I noticed I have quite a bit of wobble or play in the input shaft, ~1/16" in fact. When I yanked the...

So I believe I have a clutch job in my immediate future for my bobbed deuce. I noticed a week or so ago while stopping at lights that sporadically when I engaged the clutch I could feel light vibrations in the pedal and hear some unhappy grinding sounds. They immediatly went away if I released...

Here's your chance to brag about your best work ;-) Whats the best/favorite mod you've done to your deuce? All I've done so far is single & bob, so this is a selfish post (I'm looking for ideas.) Show us what you've got - pic's prove you did it.......

So I finished bobbing my deuce finally. I did the classic M105 install, so not necessarily post-worthy but I thought folks would enjoy the before and after pic's. I used the trailer suspension, and installed the trailer shocks. I was surprised about the difference the shocks made in the...

Does anyone have handy the u-bolt size they used on the rear of their bobber using 105 springs w/the helper springs? I had a slot free up in my day and can go get the bolts made during my lunch hour, but don't have any with me to measure the size against. I searched without luck. I just need...

Has anyone tried pulling an M1102 with a duece? I have a deuce and ran into an M1102, wondering if it has a good ride height, track width, etc for pulling behind the duece. M105 is bigger than I want, and I like the look of the 1102 vs the 101AX. I had a go at search, but didn't see what I was...

I just arrived in Salt Lake City in preparation for my first ever recovery on Monday. I'll be picking up an M35 from Clearfield, and driving it back to California. Even the attempt would not have been possible without the help of a local SS member. He previewed and reviewed the truck for me...

While reading SS I found out there is an (apparently) inevitable zombie invasion looming on the horizon. So I plan to get a good tent for my family to live in during the apocolypse. Which tent would you recommend? Looking for something to house all 7 of us to live in for an extended period...

I (semi) recently won a bid on an M35. Currently just waiting for my EUC to clear (52 days and counting) so I can go pick it up. Like many folks mine had the ubitquitous and slightly encouraging 'Starts & runs' description. While doing my wait-research I've read many posts about the condition...

Anyone that's done a recovery from Hill AFB? Wondering if they will let you do any work on the truck at the site - i.e. change fluids and filters (just minor stuff, not talking an engine rebuild.) I bought a 'starts and runs' vehicle, and am crossing my fingers that I will be able to bleed...

Looking at 2 M35A2's in Clearfield UT. Auction opens 04/20, anyone able/willing to take a look at them before the bidding opens up? I hit UT a couple times a year, and would be buying your beverage of choice on my next trip out ;-) Shoot me a PM if you can help. Tks....

I would like to buy a deuce, and I see that only one of the GL locations within driving distance of me has any available (Clearfield UT.) 19 vehicles set to open 04/20, and close 04/22. Not sure I am ready to pull the trigger on my purchase just yet, but I am worried that another set of these...
