    M211 tranny in M35

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the Army experimented with putting the auto tranny from the M135/211 trucks in the M35? If so, was this a direct bolt-up? I am toying around the idea of doing this modification if it doesn't involve making a special adapter to the multifuel motor. Wouldn't...

    Electric wiper motors?

    I notice just about all the new M series vehicles have electric type wiper motors instead of air. Has anyone converted or found a military looking electric replacement for their deuce windshield wiper motors? Pictures of s setup would be great if someone has already done the conversion.

    800 series brake conversion

    I dont know if this subject has already been discussed, but does anyone know of a kit or conversion package to change an 800 series 5 ton to air brakes? Is it simple or not worth it? I tried several times to buy wrecked 900 series trucks to just swap them, but even they go pretty expensive.
