I thought about using the bed for a trailer project too, then remembered I've got enough projects and have no use for a trailer like that. Maybe an m36 owner is out there is looking for a good bed though.
From some basic measurements I've taken it looks like removing section number 3 of the...
If I remember right an SS member in the northeast had a pretty nice m36 with air assist for sale for about $3500. He had it listed a lot longer than an m35 would be in the same condition and price (in my opinion).
I guess the actual value is up for debate. To a few it's worth more than an...
The m36 was chosen because it's the only m35 style deuce I've got. Winch deuces around here are 5k on the low end, if you can find one. I've got $2700 in this truck with shipping, tax, and tags included.
I'm sure someone on SS would want this truck as is but around here the only people I've...
Well... I haven't seen one of these done yet that looks like the original with the m34 style bed, so I guess I'll give it a shot.
The "victim":
Yes I'm aware an m36 is a rare truck compared to an m35 (I'm sure I'll hear about it anyway). According to the paperwork it has had 180 miles put on...
The m151a1 style turn signals are stock on the late Jeeps like this one. I believe other stock upgrades would be a 60amp alternator, windshield washer setup, self adjusting brakes, 2 mirrors and some other differences. It's kind of neat that it was made around the same time the m151a2 was put...
It would follow ok in turns to the right, but not any in amount of turning to the left. The wheels would stay turned slightly. The m756a2 is painted in 24087 Olive Drab by Gillespie coatings. The plan at this point is try to get one of them running, I'm guessing the orange one has a better...
Museum-quality may be pushing it a bit. There are still a bunch of touch ups to be done, and a lot of clean up and paint work to be done underneath. I'm just happy to have it on the road for now, in "work truck condition". :-)
Here are some pictures from this morning, loading a Gama Goat...
Some pictures from the last few days, towing a couple m135s. Only about 50 miles worth of driving but everything is great. The smoke cleared right up with some drive time.
The engine on the orange truck is stuck, it looks a little nasty under the valve cover.:razz:
We picked up the second truck this evening. It started pouring rain as soon as we started changing over a few tires on the m135.:grin: This one didn't follow so good... I "drove" it for the short...
Thanks. The drive across town includes a fair amount of other drivers on the road so we figured it was best to have those on just in case. We didn't have to steer the m135 at all, it followed perfect as is.
The nicer of the two trucks made it home this evening. The m756a2 did a pretty good job towing considering it's only been around the block a couple times in at least a couple years. A little slow on the hills but that should get a little better with some run time.
We pulled the driveshafts...
It would be nice! We're happy with the good running LDT right now, although the cool factor of the whistler turbo has almost worn off as usual.
It's been a busy week with work on the truck. The engine hoses are done, as well as an oil change and new fuel filters. I also swapped out the 5...
Thanks. It will really only see work occasionally, for towing home an MV bigger than a 1 ton truck or lifting or winching something that a smaller truck can't handle. Even though I've got forklifts to use at the shop I'll use the m756 to lift some things here and there just to get some...
We're only going a little over 10 miles for each trip for my trucks. I've had some MVs tow great with a towbar, and others immediately crank the wheels opposite the way you want them to when making any turns. I'm not worried about it since they're only across town.
I'm planning on flat towing them home in about a week if everything goes well. How did the 211 do following the m35? Any problems cornering and did you tie off the steering wheel at all? Thanks.
