    Old mixed parts M35 Gasser VIN ID ?, please.

    I have a pretty good collection of A1 pics and some info going from mining the internet. http://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/reo.htm

    Early deuce history (Studebaker)

    Early M35 deuce history (Studebaker) I've been searching around the forum and the internets, got early M35 history bug bad, and stumbled across this thread on another forum. Skim about half way down and then to the bottom for the deuce stuff. This guy seems to know a lot about deuces...locking...

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    I don't like brakes, and normally especially don't like bleeding them. Can't wait to get my bleeder built and effortlessly flush and bleed the system...then I need to find a really big strong guy to stomp the tar out of the pedal with the air all the way up and pressure test it. Deuce brakes...

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    Edited above, and adding more here: I will say that if I or anyone else was suggesting something that would endanger the public, such as removing the airpack and running a VW master cylinder, something should be done about it. :-)

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    First off, I do not want any such discussion muddying up my build thread. I didn't start one, I don't want one. That kind of crap, "pounded into the mud", is why I have considered leaving this forum. EDIT: It's not good for the forum, the hobby, or anyone. Already way too many good and...

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    I did, but I don't need one. Good price, but shipping to the land of fruits and nuts always stinks. Airpack was $60 plus $50. Grr. I've read up on brake fluid extensively and decided on 3 because I think it's better, not cause I'm cheaping out.

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    it's kind of weird, it has a vent hole in the middle, but it just went up into the top where that steel circle was crimped on. I will either put a proper deuce cap on the master if the threads are the same, or thread this cap and put a fitting on it so I can pressure bleed it, etc.

    Tmg off road adventure weekend 4/ 24 /15

    I know, I ain't skeered, it'll go anywhere dragging a busted jeep behind it. I wanna know if it's gonna be any fun or not. ;-) Might just drive a little truck and bum a ride in a deuce.

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    Also, new used rebuildable airpack showed up. Hanging halfway out of the box, but intact.

    Got a Deuce! '62 M35A1

    What do ya'll think of this master cylinder. I don't think it's very old. Exterior was rusty but interior nice and nice pliable seals. It's not OEM military, says use DOT3, which is what I'm going to do. I could rob the mil on off my parts truck and rebuild it, but it's a hassle. USMC...

    UPFINN's Deuce Build

    Might look into adding hardener to the paint like Bill W. Paint shop should be able to tell you which gun. I'm curious about the best primer to use. I think you should paint it 24052 USMC Forest Green and put yellow lettering on it. ;-)

    Planning to come, not sure what I'll be driving yet. Hopefully this : How hardcore offroad are we talking? Like obstacles or just dirt roads?

    M275 Deuce Rescue from Doom

    NDT, any chance of more pics for this early M35 addict? Curious about the A1 features, wiper knob, shifter, dash panel, engine crossmember, etc. Is the vertical front of the battery box cut in a contour to fit the back of the fender, or is it straight cut? I thought I read somewhere (it's all...

    M35A1 to sell or not to sell ??

    Pictures (especially passenger dash) and maybe exhaust measurements would be much appreciated! I commented on the '13 plowing vid on youtube, it helped. That fact that you have an A1 and A2 together might be handy as you might be able to identify some differences we haven't found. If you're...

    New guy from PA just acquired an M35A1

    Wow, smacking myself in the forehead. Dunno how I missed this thread. I have an A1 and A1 fever, I'm always digging around looking for info on them...I get a kick out of tracking down all the little differences. I intend to eventually do a definitive A1 thread with all the info in one place...

    found m35a1 what am I in for

    I have an A1 too that is all messed with and messed up, stuff missing etc. and your pics helped me figure some stuff out. It would be nice if you deleted all the duplicates and blurry shots though! ;-) I'd like to see the data plates, mine are gone. If you're feeling real ambitious, I think...

    Old mixed parts M35 Gasser VIN ID ?, please.

    All kinds of cool details in this video of scooter01922's 1960 Stude who noted the hinged A1 mudflaps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gDpp-fmVd4

    Doing A1 research and figured I'd bump this one up, how's she coming?

    M35A1 to sell or not to sell ??

    Stb64 and myself are into A1s and all the little differences between them and A2s. A bunch of pictures of your truck would be really cool. I'm interested in the hinged mudflaps and if the rear tail lights are hung from the frame or the bed and some of the interior stuff. My "mixed parts gasser"...
