khilding- Check the dates stamped on your axles. If the three are somewhat close, then it is likely your truck was built along with them (as opposed to getting all three replaced, conicidentally with 3 of the same age axles). I think there is also some info stamped on the frame, but maybe I am...

Well, we don't have air brakes.... we have air over oil. This means that you have hydraulic brakes, with a compressed air assist. In the event of a catastrophic loss of air pressure, you still have hydraulic brakes, but with less stopping power. About the rest... probably have to talk to...

The bobber in question is a turbo multifuel, because if it were a gasser or a NA multi, the muffler would be underneath the passenger, and would be so quiet that a second one would be overkill. Matt

Warren Lovell, et. al.- There are several reasons there is no supporting statements regarding USA 6x6. One is that a few SS [Steel Soldiers] members have had extremely bad experiences with Dan, including, but not limited to, excessive wait for product, failure to deliver product, and outright...

derekair- Thanks for the compliments on the site, and welcome. Please add your location to your signature, as it is one of the few rules of this forum.

Wallew- Unless your 'low profile' tires have a unique set of installation instructions, the internal gearing of your transmission should remain the same. Matt

D'oh!!

wallew- Clinto was talking about 4th being OD *only if you did not already know that 5th in a multifuel is forward and to the far right.* In a traditional shift pattern, (or, if you did not have the handy dandy data plate) what you thought was 4th gear is actually OD=best mpg on highway. So...

Jones- Didn't you also have to mess with the axle spacing? Deuce rears are 48" apart, right? Matt

The largest tire that has been put on a deuce without body mods is a 395/85R20. However, that requires some special wheels, as Gerhard mentioned. So, stock rims, you can squeeze 12.00R20, stock body you can fit 395/85R20 - shown here with the Michelin XML tread pattern...

I use the Wal-mart cheapos, and am in the same boat as Kenny - no more than 2-3 days between starts, and when I do start it (especially on cold mornings) I leave it running until it's at operating temperature (also 2-3 days, hehehe)... Mine has the marine style cable attachments because I had a...

Uhh... moderator? A little editing help?

When I looked up "Hotbox" I got some websites that made me blush... But I found these... http://www.stewartwarnersw.com/ (The original Hotbox) http://www.espar.com/htm/Specs/water/wterheat.htm (Alternate option, can be 24V, and run on diesel - permanent intall??) Matt

Kenny- This site works best if we abide by the subject matter guidelines already in place. Although most folks have more than one MV, and probably know the answer to that question, it is best posted in the "CUCV" section of this site... Matt

Also check out the pictoral how-to... http://imageevent.com/cranetruck/m35dualstosinglesconversion Courtesy of Bjorn (Cranetruck) Matt

and the two piece A3 wheels are more like what M1075 has for sale... serviceable in the field with meager hand tools, with less likelihood of a ring jumping off... it, as always, comes down to priorities. Matt

Naw... he's gotta keep it yellow for when he takes the little'uns to school!!!! :-) Matt

wallew- The reason that the picture doesn't look like they flipped the hubs is because they didn't.... that picture belongs in the 5-ton forum. Matt

Kenny - I would say, if the paint on the engine is in good shape - leave it. No sense putting [expensive] paint on a perfectly painted engine! Matt
