I saw a pic of the M35A3's and saw that they had bumper lugs on the bottom of the bumper like they have on the top and instead of a stepped D-ring like the top, they just run a regular D-ring.
Picked up a couple of parts from one of our members here, THANKS KENNY(!), and made it happen!!
Picked it up this morning using my wife's 4Runner and my dad's tandem axle 12 bed trailer he built. The dropside only stuck out about a foot per side...heh,heh. Got it home no problems. Started taking the bed off of 'Blue,' my CAT repowered deuce. Those damn long bolts with the spring at the...
My big 715, aka 'Velvet,' arrived stock with a blown motor. I slapped in a 3053A and a 305 small block Chevy so I wouldn't have to drag it around with the tractor anymore. It got the channel bumper and deuce-Garwood 10K winch stuffed in it (set up on a hydraulic motor), then lockers for the...

So this is a front Rockwell axle torn down and pan cut off and a High Clear pan installed. Check...
Let me tell ya, I got a pair of really nice ear plugs that I can roll up and stick into my ears until they touch my brain!!! HA-HAAAA!!! Instead of driving a squeaking, metal rattling, vibrating, owner built LOUD piped, non insulated, built by low bidder to be blown up, military truck...I'm...
When I got my truck the brakes were fine, half pedal and hard. When I changed motors I happened to pinch the front brake line and it cracked when I tried to round it out again. I replaced that line and tried to bleed the brakes. Pedal has been soft ever since. Any proven methods aside from...
Does the short bellhousing on the 6052 and 6053's have the same SAE round bolt pattern as the short bellhousing on the 3052 and 3053's? A guy I know is wanting to pull a blown R6602 out and put in a very strong running 465'whistler' multifuel into his 5 ton truck. I'm afraid it will take him a...
Today I spent two hours laying under the truck trying to figure out how or what to do to the driver's side exhaust pipe on the CAT that originally come straight down from the manifold flange about 12-14", then a mandrel bend 90*, then straight back until it clears the back of the spring hanger...
I found this old bugger wedged in about a year ago. Called the guy, he'll sell. I could really use it...but it's tought to justify the lump at one time. It is a deal though...but...eh, you all know.

This sweet machine is basically in 'as delivered' condition and usually the fire companies have a tire guy that will put on suggested rubber. Usually a Michelin design or even a Firestone SA Traction DPLX. The company that built this was Long Island Brush Truck...sadly since out of business...
I get into some slimy stuff time to time as I'm working in the woods and wonder if there's a preferred, or proven, rear axle that a Detroit Locker would be the best in. I know that the front axle would be the best IF lockouts were installed. Any ideas guys or should I just see how the big...
I've got a line...we'll, actually a deposit on seven 5 ton, beadlock, 'combat' wheels. I also have six, 395/85-R20 'wide carcass' 45.5"x 15.5" XL's. Has someone made up a low cost, like under $100/per, wheel adapters going from 6 on 8-3/4" to 10 on 11-1/4"? I'm about to delve into this search...
1974 M35A2. I pulled a perfectly good 478hour turbo multifuel and put in a 225hp,V8 3208/1160 CAT Diesel...636 cubes of grunt. That included new mounts, custom 3.5" SS .100 wall pipes to connect with SS flexpipe to TWO stacks. One is the factory passenger side stack and the other is a pass side...
