    M36A3 Camper?

    I've toy'd with the idea of making a quad cab with one of those 'short' M35 beds. The 109/185 body would be cool, you'll have to do something about the wheel opening location though. an M820 expansible would be sweet, but would be alot of work to make that into a quad cab.

    M36A3?

    Recently seen a M36A3 pictures in a listing for a M35A3, right in the GL ads in the upper left corner on here. GL is so often just a crap shoot.

    How much to insure an A3? How much for tools?

    The vin won't work for the typical insurance computer system. go visit your agent with a picture of an A3, go over how you intend to use it with him, Insurance laws vary by state, I.E. Gieco and Progressive in Michigan do not insure former MV's or anything with more than 2 axles. Some may sell...

    Deuce A2 - Opinion

    If a dealer they should handle all the paperwork and a title should be sent to you. Buying from a dealer, you should not have to go to the DMV, they do. but hey, it's your money.

    454 will replace multi fuel in m35a2?

    Get a SAE belhousing from an old C70 Chevy and bolt the 454 to the 5spd overdrive that's in there. I would really like to do this myself, just heard stories of 4mpg, now if it would get 10 mpg :cookoo: Sorry, I know next to nothing about disk brake kits

    Raising rear axle - to shorten turning radius

    I have seen the installation of a lock out hub on the back axle. The owners tells me it made a world of difference in the ease of turning. Most of the scrubbing is due to both axles being tied together. You can remove the rear drive shaft to test this out before spending money.

    Well...the tranny went last night in my M1009

    Odd, very odd. There should be no difference between park and neutral on a TH400. (Except park has a pin that engages) IIRC the Humvee version doen't even have a "park" position. I would drop the pan, change the screen, check linkages etc, put in fresh fluid and go from there. (Side note...

    Well...the tranny went last night in my M1009

    I thought I broke a TH400 once........................ Turned out that It had twisted the insides of the Summit Racing torque convertor into shrapnel! even though a TH400 is very tuff I'd only use low range plowing with a 1009 due to the gearing. The most expensive part of the rebuild is...

    A3 rims on an A2

    With the M35A3 wheels you do not have to worry about if the guy made the centers right, or cut the 10 lug centers out true. You also don't have to worry about them not being DOT legal. With the A3's you can hang a spare where it was intended.

    M880 Manuals

    While I love my TM's, there is little difference between the M880 and the Dodge W200. I picked up the 1977 Dodge Truck factory service manual from dodgeboys over at ramchargercentral.com. It is the first book I consult for repairs. TM 9-2320-266-10 is the operators manual - fits in the glovebox...
