:-D It's interesting that's there is some blue on the PTO. The window frames and at least one of the original headlight doors were strata blue.

Started cutting the broken tarp hooks and old patches off the bed. The passenger door rot has been fixed and it's on the truck, could use a little adjustment. Got a new plastic battery box set to go, and I straightened out the replacement running boards and modified the driver's side board to...

Yes

I've never seen that before, and it doesn't look like a factory install to me. Is there anything between the frame rails between the fuel tank and spare tire?

Torched out the remains of the rivets for the forward subframe mounts, they were half removed already (by the previous owner I'm guessing since he had the bed on his other truck). Replaced with bolts. Planed the boards and reinstalled them and then bolted the bed assembly down. Can't wait to...

I believe it should have a non overdrive transmission stock. Gassers and multifuels had non overdrive, macks had the overdrive (and m809 series trucks with the cummins).

That's the bridge plate.

The container was in close quarters against a fence on 2 sides and with the camper over a bit on the 3rd side. There isn't anything special needed to do the lift, just hook up the winch and the roller does the work. The container is already lifted a bit at the start of the video because once...

Yeah the quadcons are neat. They're about 5'x8' with doors on both ends, hook 4 together and it's like a regular 20ft connex.

Today was the day for using the roller to winch something onto the bed. Picking up a quadcon container in town to bring to the yard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ndIAskQdX0

Test fitting some more body panels today. Yes everything should be relatively the same but since everything's off a different truck things need a little tweaking to sit right. Truck 1: cab Truck 2: hood Truck 3 driver's door Truck 4 passenger door/grille/driver's fender Truck 5 Headlight...

Since it rained all day we took a look at cutting up some m35a2 bows to fit the narrow dump bed. First we cut up a junk wooden bow to find the right length Metal bow: Ready to weld the joint The difference The set of 4 on the truck It looks like an m35a2 cover will work fine with a little...

The problem is I won't be at Aberdeen so we'll need to find someone who could pick it up in VT and bring it down there.

The one in the link actually looks more like the early DRASH style to me. Identical from what I can tell to the m101a2/a3 style, but it has reinforcements that wrap around the side of the trailer frame. I think you can actually cut all that stuff off and it will be the same as it's just an...

Sweet truck. Those look like the ramps from my m275a2. I've still got the carcass if you need anything but it looks like you've got a pretty complete example.

The running board at the top is from a short wheelbase truck (m275a2 tractor). The one below is from an m35a2. Both are driver's side. There are differences in the brace underneath and the inside lip. Both will need to be cut up for a regular running board to fit on a SWB truck. Holes will...

Congrats to Longshot for the win with his beautiful m37! Great contest this month, it's nice to see the vote totals up. It was pretty funny to see pababear say he doesn't cast the tiebreaker, but then use his troll account to swing the total!:goodjob::papabear:

Vote for the m756a2!
