Awesome! Looks like we might have quite a few here.

Thanks DaneGer21!

Thanks Todd!

Anyone from the NE Ohio area (Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Ashtabula, Sandusky, Youngstown/Warren, Mansfield)? I'm looking for some SS members I can connect with. Dave

Vociferous, welcome to SS. I am in NE ohio near Cleveland and drive a M35A3. Keep us posted on your truck.

Dustyh, Thanks! How much would one set cost? Can you ship a set to Ohio if I pay all shipping & crating material costs too?

Thanks guys, nice to know there are plenty around. I was having a hard time finding the kits in catalogs for places like Eastern Surplus, Colemans, etc...

Again, thanks Kenny. I have one last question. What does DA you used for sanding stand for?

Kenny...Thanks! I was thinking about getting a gravity sand blaster attaching it to an air compressor and going for it. Do you have to use a special kind of sand or can you use bagged sand from the Home Depot?

Kenny, Very nice job! What type of sandblaster did you use to strip the paint off of the body? OFD

I went ahead and tried the Krylon Ultra flat black. For me, it worked out a lot better as opposed to the Gillespie flat black. I pressure washed the truck after waiting few days and the pressure wash took much of the shine off the 383 green paint.

Donttreadonmebmg Nice truck! I'd like to check it out sometime, or even go for a ride in it at Yankee Lake. OFD

I found this out by accident, but pressure washing the painted areas with just water will dull the paint and give a more uniform look. So, after waiting about a week for the paint to set, I then pressure wash it. Not bad.

Guys, thanks for the suggestions! I am about finished up installing my hard top and seats that i had new covers put on. Next stop is the cargo cover.

For my deuce, I want to get a bow & tarp kit. Will I need the wooden side rails to hold the bow supports or can I get bow supports that actually fit into the bed? BTW, bow & tarp kits are really hard to find. Thanks! OFD

Thanks! I also learned that if you hold the spray can too close...LOL!

Thanks guys for the advice. I ended up using the Krylon Ultra Flat and the results are much better. Now if I can stop causing the paint to drape after I spray it.

I am painting the outside of my deuce, and the flat black paint I use (Rustoleum) has shiny blotches in the black area I test painted. I first tried Gillespie (from Rapco) flat black and it came out a little shiny. The original black paint on my truck looks great...no shine at all. Can...

Once I get the top put on and the seats reinstalled, I want to get the truck to Yankee Lake. I have a couple of friends w/ Jeep Wranglers that I want to outdo, LOL!

I can go for it...the m35a3c has ctis...perfect for snow.
