For those of us on the Right Coast, Clark Truck Parts in the Mountain State have midnight-colored M35s too! Look at the pics at the bottom of the page (can't copy the pic to the forum): http://www.clarktruck.com/trucks.cfm?step=2&listid=7

Maybe size DOESN'T matter... Glad to see you've the regulation safety footwear on...:)

Would you want to try pairs of chocks chained/padlocked together on both fore and aft sides of a wheel (sort of like a Denver boot) to prevent them from being removed by wayward hooligans? probably unnecessarily complicated, but the best I can think of at the moment...

Renato, What wonderful travels you've had and such a sturdy vehicle, too! I was a part-owner in a Trabant 601 while studying in Munich in 1991 and wouldn't care to go further than shopping at Kaufmarkt in it. Welcome to this forum! Required military content - military Trabi...

Warren, this thread should hold your answer: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/DotNetForum/default.aspx?f=43&p=1&m=21173

Have a copy of your vehicle's Operators Manual with you for reference in case you need it. I expect an M1009 is close enough to civilian to not seem real strange. Picking up my deuce, I was happy to have something on which to to fall back.

I remember camping trips to Ft. Belvoir in Northern Virginia and being fascinated by the water buffalos they let us use. I never wound up anywhere near a deuce, though. Opie Eagle Scout, Class of 1987 Troop 128 St. John's Church McLean, VA

Well, I guess I'm learning things then...

Okey-dokie, here's my fender:

I'm beginning to wonder about the history of my truck. Monster Man's pics of his install showed no fender shelf, and I've got a shelf a foot wide inside the left-hand engine compartment door. Maybe I need to start scraping the paint off of the frame rail...mine may NOT be a '71.

Over2land: The abbreviation is with a "k" rather than a "c" to get you what you want. Gotta love the military "alphabet soup!"

If you want colored materials, run a Google search on Durabak. It comes in a forest green which isn't OD, but it IS green at least. DO post pics!

Try a google search on dukw. I think that would get you a lot of infrmation. It results in 26K pages.

Here's a nice picture of a "medium" tow bar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=588&item=6540738781&rd=1&tc=photo 135 lbs. - won't likely be shipping THAT to AZ from OH...

Over2land, Welcome! I have a 1971 chassis whose data plate reads "Jeep Division of American Motors Corporation." I'm still not sure whether to call it a "Jeep" or "AMC," but love it all the same.

Deuce-B, Someone has a picture on the forum of a standard trailer hitch that they applied to the rear of a deuce. I think it went up within the last month or so.

Fred, What's in the armored attache case? Nuclear missile launch codes? Phone number of the Maxxim girl?

Oops, installed the base gasket and tossed the other. Oh, well...

Thanks Bruce! I'm more interested in the info on the plate, as my truck was apparently "Frankensteined." The dash dataplate is for an M35A2, so the van body must have come from elsewhere.

Ok, the oil needs to be changed rather frequently. How about the filters? I'f I'm not running the engine often, is that an every 3,000 miles thing, then?
