    1400-20's are 49" tall 1600's are 53" tall The stock deuce rear axles are 48" apart, so obviously you can not put anything bigger than the 46" 395's on the stock deuce tandum setup. A few posts above Unforgiven - explained how you can modify the deuce rears to fit the big tires, although he...

    Reo or Kaiser Jeep

    The manufacturer listed on the data plate isn't necessarily the same as the Name on the factory in the year the truck was built. Once you know the year then you can begin to find out who "built it" as suggested above, take a look at the vin info threads find a close vin to figure out the...

    M35 (and other MV) Roadside Assistance list

    :ditto: Still not secure, as anyone can register here. Just keep it to general location and a means of contact. I'm willing to help someone out, yet nobody drives anywhere close to me, (those that do, know how to get ahold of me.)

    need H1 Rim opinions

    Problem is that most of the spacers are 6061 T6 extruded aluminum, sometimes called aircraft aluminum or billet. 6061 is quite malleable, much much softer than any aluminum wheels. aluminum wheels are cast or forged out of a stonger grade. for these wheels to set right on a CUCv the spacers...

    need H1 Rim opinions

    I would like the spacer as long as they are steel, there are alot of aluminum ones out there. as an engineer / machinist, I know how easy aluminum distorts and bends. Those wheels & tires are heavy and so is the truck. Traction & looks

    Coloring a tan tarp OD or camo..?

    The GMA cover on my M101A2 was originally green and had been painted Tan CARC, I presume by the IANG where the trailer came from. The tan has "washed away" on top where water puddles in between the bows.

    Newb - Roll off???

    While I agree the M36 is light duty (and short) compared to a 5 ton M814. but the statement "a duece with a steel bed would not leave enough load cap" doesn't make much sense as the M36 with the steel bed that is on it has a 10k capacity. So if the roll back bed weighed twice the stock bed you'd...

    46" Tires Performance

    "would it hurt the truck to have mixed tires like that?" the mixed tread patterns shouldn't really hurt the truck as it has open differentials. On road ride & handling might be an issue. Note that on the tandems you will want tires that measure the same diameter / circumference not just the same...

    What makes the engine "Multifuel" & WMO in a cucv?

    I know a few people that run 50%WMO in their CUCV's and heard of one that ran 100% WMO in his M1008 (grabbed the wrong can) it made it home on used motor oil. Now if I order a pizza I want it fast & hot........ Deuces & CUCV's aren't very fast. but are very Cool. 8 to 10mpg isn't very...

    M35A3 / M36A3 Cargo capacity

    I looked at a M35A3 today, specifically the wheels & data plate. the only weight listings on the data plate was 13,xxx empty and 18,xxx loaded. I had looked for the weight rating of 4000lb on the wheels, to confirm what gimpyrob had posted. I was curious about the wheels, because my M36A2...
