    anyone know the size of canvas for M211/M35?

    this is the closest I came to that info: http://www.m151a2.biz/images/dimensiones%20m35a2.gif apparently it's a heavily guarded industry secret <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> you'll need to do a little math...

    block heaters, pan heaters, dipstick heaters

    LOL, yup that's me and the motorcycles. I keep them on float chargers, but they're in a garage. The deuce unfortunately will be outdoors. We rarely dip below 15 or so in the winter, so I'll definitely be sure to hook up a charger- LH7, I'd like more info please. I think I may be able to...

    engine brakes/exhaust brakes?

    this is a question that's been on my mind for some time. Would these trucks benefit from an exhaust or engine brake. I looked at Jacobs' site and they don't have an app listed. How about an exhaust brake?

    block heaters, pan heaters, dipstick heaters

    are any of these necessary on a truck you plan to drive in winter? I know a heated block is a good idea in general, but are there any of these devices to avoid? the pan and dipstick style heaters don't seem like they'd do much on such a large engine. What else is available to heat a block...

    Emissions Test

    in dealing with a Chevy truck that could barely pass smog (it passes with flying colors now I might add, just to vindicate myself) I can tell you it helps a lot more if you drive around in a lower gear at low speeds. Driving on the freeway tended to cool my truck too much, driving in traffic...

    some wierd rims. Are these "combat" rims or what?

    cool- but a silly question I couldn't find an answer to. What makes combat rims better? Are they like beadlocks, are the wheels sturdier, does that ring act as "armor" in a sense?

    Just curious - daily drivers?

    hmmm...... I put my daily driver up on two wheels also, in an intersection- whoops! But, had I not I never would have camo'd it, so look at the bright side :) The bro and I just finished the bucket so we've been driving that every day <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

    some wierd rims. Are these "combat" rims or what?

    if you go here: http://www.collect.com/interest/article.asp?Pub=MV&id=3796 (WARNING- BIG PICTURE) and see this deuce, what rims are those? THey don't look like any I've seen. Were they experimental or are those rings waterproof covers or what? thanks

    converting multifuel to diesel only- PROS/CONS

    ooh- thanks for the heads up. so I assume in the swap to pure diesel the old parts are somehow permanently modifed, meaning you couldn't resue the old ones that would make it multifuel?

    drain holes in bed?

    are there any drain provisions in the bed, I was at one site with a bunch of pictures and the bed looked like it had standing water in it for like 3 years (and there still was some). There was a big depression one one side and it was pure flaky rust. Is that a common problem on these trucks or...

    converting multifuel to diesel only- PROS/CONS

    I know at least one person has done it, or has a truck with it done. I saw the how to article at www.militaryvehiclesmagazine.com, but what is the benefit? I know the multifuels aren't tuned to run on pure diesel, so if they were they could make a lot more power and be more reliable, right...

    SRW'ing- is EVERYTHING needed already on truck?

    it does sound intensive- That's why I'm hoping Alex will do it <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> but except for new bearings then everything you'd need is already on the truck?

    SRW'ing- is EVERYTHING needed already on truck?

    just curious- when single rear wheeling, do you need any different parts? I was under the impression that you simply take off a hub here, reverse some bolts there and slap on your wheels. Am I being a little naive? I have MVM #79 and it appears that's what was done. But, I mentioned...
