    Newbie From Mississippi with a M35A2

    Welcome to steel soldiers. I do have a suggestion for a recovery type vehicle. If you dont have a winch truck I would suggest a heavy electric winch. Thats what we have on our test truck.

    Deuce manufacturer

    This was very good information and the way you explained it was very respectful of Martin. It gives me hope for humanity.

    Deuce bed from Kentucky to Richmond Va

    I think you need to put a 2 in front of that. If you run waste oil the fuel would be free or close to it. I would be willing to bet there is a bed closer to you. I try to set a three hour trip as my max to get parts. If you look hard enough you will find one Good luck.

    Heater sucks... Supposed to blow?

    The deuce unit is 30k btu m151 is 20k btu. I think you lose the extra 10k pumping the air through the underhood ductwork to the cab. We took the under hood unit off our test truck last winter and installed the underdash unit( M151) and we were amazed at the difference. It will run you out of the...

    Heater sucks... Supposed to blow?

    The m151 heater box is a good upgrade. We use them on the trucks we restore. It puts the heater core in the cab and works pretty well. You have to custom make your ductwork. Does yours have a blower issue or just a routing problem. If its just a routing issue they arent hard to fix and I think...

    First Deuce M35A2

    Its a nice looking truck. You can buy the long mirrors cheap and fab up brackets that come off the windshield frame. Is not expensive and looks good too.

    M35A2 in residential neighborhood - Huntsville, AL

    With a bobbed deuce the weight is down to about 10,500 lbs. Sometimes this is enough to make a difference on residential zoning laws. I would definately find out which ordinance you supposedly violated.

    Removing deuce wheel, I'm at a loss

    I have been away for a month or so because of the lack of kindness and rudeness that was starting to take over this site. I guess nothing has changed. I hate to see it from members but am really disheartened when I see it from a moderator.

    Windsheild sealent??

    The windshields were glued with a buytl caulking type of sealer. Or they used the old strip caulking. When we replace windshields on vehicles we just cut the old sealer flat as close to the body as possible then recaulk and lay on the winshield. On the areas you have repaired you should prime...

    J-pipe drain

    Drill a small hole at the lowest point like others have said. No muss no fuss. We did it to the deuces in my unit when we went to Honduras " to build roads" because of the huge amounts of rain down there.

    MRAP Alpha up close

    I would rather see them got to the FBI than sit in a depot and rot while the FBI got a purpose designed vehicle on our tax dollars.
