I still have this question....can the M35A3 (metric) wheel be drilled for 10 lug use on a 5 ton or does it have to be re-centered?

I use steel core on my crane.

An 1983 A2? I thought they (that year) were all A0 or A1 with the 250. A2 has the 8.3 turbo version. Anyway, good luck. I think you will like the 5 ton over a deuce. Edit....Oops yes...855 (14L)

There are quite a few bobbed 5 tons. Myself, I like the older M809 series looks but the later models do ride nice. The m931 is the one to do it to.... the frame is already short. I would have to look into dual 12.50R20 and it's match in a single (for the steer) on the 5 ton, they may match...

My truck is an A3 4x4 and had singles. I was referring to a 6x6 deuce that came with duals (Budd style) like I thought your truck has. The 11.00R20 and the 14.5R20 are nearly the same revolutions per mile. I'm only running 2 tires in the rear....but I was recommending 8 of the 11.00's...

NICE CATCH !!! Keep it whole (well maybe bob or 4x4 it) Try posting the pictures, tapatalk links don't work as well. You may have to research, but there is plenty of instruction how. Thanks.

I have a personal preference on the deuce of 11.00R20 on budds in the rear (your rims) and a more flotation and wider stance of A3 wheels and 14.5R20 as steer tires. For a spare, one of the 11.00 will work on the front to get you home, but I do believe it would pull hard. My deuce A3 4x4 will...

Now if he only had about 4.00 gears or OD box....a highway cruiser

Wow....those are some huge front frame mounts. Very interesting. Do you use U-bolts? Do you have a provision for shocks?

Do you have any updates, kingsize? I like the topper too.

The frame is coming together. I'm going to reposition the hitch on the tongue and will get a lifted ball, higher than what is on it. Ill probably put some flat 1/4x6" for strength. I wanted to keep it low but not underslung. The back gets a 36" porch with step, offsetting some tongue...

I'm going to bring this up to add m $.02 and hope someone else can chime in with some part numbers. I know the OP is comparing the LED that are the sealed unit, but how about the use of LED bulbs with the housing and reflector? I have not put LED bulbs in the incandescent place with military...

I'm planning a very small AC window unit on the back (right) side, next to the door that locks at 90 degree. I'll have an entirely new hole, just that size and with weather cover. On the AC, quiet and small size matters. I have a 5k Nordic I was gonna use in the front but decided to go more...

I bought more steel for the frame and the hardware to mount the axle and a hitch. Mostly built the frame now to get it on wheels and attaching to the PU or deuce. Yesterday the new axle perch's, 9/16" U-bolts, spring mounts, shackles, adjustable hitch mount and hitch, came. I had welded the...

Not a HMMWV owner.... but would "air shocks" work ?

Parts came in to start assembly of the new shaft. I still have not decided on the carrier bearing. I have a rubber mounted one but I'm leaning towards a flange bearing, solid or cushioned mount for more rigidity. CMPPhil, I was looking at the local hardware for the packing like you mentioned...

Okay... Is there a reason for the multiple angles and shape? My Cat A3 is not the same and I have't been under a multi fuel.

Welcome from Indiana....post up some pictures when you can. Is your green iron fun a hobby or ???

Post up some pictures if you have a chance...like on the ferry. Good luck.

Is there a vendor that is selling hard copies? Has there ever been a discussion of an edited, condensed version with some up to date notes and appendices? Then a thumb drive could be downloaded and taken to a printer and not print the redundant or moot part.
