    Stepping into the realm of 5 tons

    Looks good, like the dark green. Put a spin on oil filter adapter on the 250. Makes future filter changes a breeze. Kits in stock.

    M35A3 Owners unite

    Most likely it is fourth gear and reverse. Any good trans shop that works big transmission will be able to address the rebuild. I have an A3 with the same issue, 8 bell housing attach bolts and it's on the ground. May repair it myself if I find the time.

    Lunette size on M101-A1?

    I have a Curt hitch I use for moving trailers around the yard/farm. It pulls fine, however use caution when backing up a loaded trailer, the Curt pintle doesn't fill the inside diameter of the mil lunette and it can bind up while backing and turning.

    Looking for a 2nd spare tire location...

    Ok, my original suggestion was going to be, "the spare is the last thing you load in the bed".

    Looking for a 2nd spare tire location...

    If you need the spare wheel carrier/winch, have NOS complete units in the box. Rusty's M105 mod is real easy.

    Fan always spins, not the shutterstat?

    All my M939/NHC250 equipped trucks (4) operate the same. Fan rotates (slowly) while engine is running. The fan clutch engages at about 185* F, then the fan is engaged at really moves some air. My M813, well it's direct drive are roars all the time.

    Is this a investment ?

    That's what I tell my wife; I don't bowl anymore, I don't play softball anymore, I don't hang out in taverns anymore, I'm in the shop, 140 yards from the house, with an 35 yr. old truck......

    CARC paint;how to remove-yet another question...

    The dust from CARC removal is very bad stuff, it will lead to long term health problems. If you decide to have someone blast it. Ensure you make them aware that it is just not paint, its CARC.

    thinking of buying second mv

    You better buy that truck, there are not to many of them left. Believe it or not, it is easier to maintain two like vehicles than one. Insurance should be a lot easier, can't drive both at the same time. Go historic Vehicle for registration.

    2200 mile recovery Wisconsin to Oregon.

    Sounds like a great road trip. I-90 is a very fast highway, keeping up with traffic will be taxing to those Michelins on the steer axle. Make sure you have good spare and all the tools to change a wheel out.
