    speaking of comp/collision.......

    LTRN; Don't forget the dash lights too! They'd probably use a flashlight<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_lol.gif" alt="LOL">!

    do I need a BIIIG toolkit?

    MM; Look at some of the past posts. That should help too.

    MM; Being married kinda puts the kabosh on hot chicks asking me for a date, but it never slows them down in asking about or getting photos with the truck! (Makes nice wallpaper and screen savers too!<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">)

    Share the Deuce Humor

    When we were returning home with 'Storm and Twister a hot blonde driving a "T" top honked her horn at us and gave a <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up"><img src="speech/icon_speech_yeah.gif" border="0">! That's another reason (just don't tell my wife).

    Share the Deuce Humor

    We get asked about where it came from and what it can do along with "Could I take a look?". Truckers give us <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_thumzup.gif" alt="Thumb Up"> all the time!

    Can't say enough good stuff about Saturn Surplus

    LTRN; Those are beautiful pics.. Oh, and the photo of the driver isn't bad either<img src="emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile">.

    Got new turbo today!

    Matt; It looks like a C, but I could be wrong. The only way to really tell is to hook it up! Let us know!

    it's official! (almost) a proud owner!

    MM; You won't regret it! One of the many perks is not having to worry about agressive drivers! If they try to be foolish just point at them and yell "Speed Bump!" and they get the picture quickly!<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink"> But seriously, these trucks are a joy to...

    20,000 pound capacity?

    LTRN; When y'all hit 25K then I'll be VERY impressed! But then again I'm used to pulling 80K with the big boys(y'know 18 wheels....). I just can't wait to get a 5 ton wrecker and REALLY play around here in the winter when the ice storms hit!($$$$$$$$)<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif"...

    do I need a BIIIG toolkit?

    MM; I bought a set of Benchmark tools from Checkers in CA before going civy.. I bought a cheater bar and a few other sizes beyond the 1" in the set but only use the larger tools on the oil change. Everything else I use my 16 year old set.

    M35A2's overseas

    MM; #186 looks like a really solid truck! Alex has the price and options for that truck dead on! If I was looking for a truck that would be one of my first choices. Believe me, you want cab heat! The shock seat will help cushion the ride (major plus!!!). In a while you might want to look at...

    MSRP and registration costs and GVW

    MM; Here in Indiana they want to know what weight you are delaring, not what the manufacturer suggests. My example is my Deuce is rated from the factory for 23,850 pounds gross curb weight. However, the plate I have is 26,000 pounds and no need for a C.D.L. (even though I have a C.D.L.). The...

    M35A2's overseas

    MM; Deuces were sent all over the world. I don't know where you could get the data, if any exists, about how many were shipped elsewhere. The military never really kept any history on these trucks especially when there were so many two year recruits whom didn't care about paperwork. Trying to...

    truck data base

    JH; I wish there was a pattern to the numbers, However, because there were so many different manufacturers of the Deuce they didn't all use the same system. Thus, confusion. You can usually look at the axle data plates to get an idea of what year the truck was produced. However, this is not...
