I hope you showed this poor work / sabotage to GL! The best would have been to take photos and send them to DRMO with a write-up and copy your congressman.

Usually, if you have a severe toe in or tow out as extreme as you apparently have, you can look at the surface of the tire and see the direction of tire scrub. However, doesn't really matter if it has too much toe-in or toe-out because it needs to be fixed. As the last poster stated, look for...

Your battery box now looks new! Nice job.

I have all of my cars insured with USAA and my two deuces insured with State Farm. USAA knew all about my M35s but said that they would not cover them unless I told them they were pickups. Since USAA caters to military and veterans, I called up their head office and complained that they wouldn't...

I just paid State Farm for both my M35A2 and M35A3. I pay $321.00 for six months for the 1969 A2 and $292.00 for the 1998 A3. It's interesting that the newer truck has less insurance cost than the older one. Both are identical commercial policies for non-commercial use with $300K liability...

Once belts have been squealing awhile, they glaze over and need to be replaced - together. I hope you kept your original alternator because it sounds like it is probably still good.

Congratulations on a successful recovery! I'm glad everything went OK.

I've never done a recovery at Indianapolis, but the GL guys at Sparta are great. They helped me get my M35A3 going in the freezing cold and helped me check it out. Prior to the recovery, I contacted the GL reps at Sparta and asked for the name of a local wreckere company and telephone number...

I haven't done any modifications to the A3 or the A2. I don't burn anything but clean diesel in the A2. I've had to clean check valves in the A3 fuel system a couple of times, replace the compressor governor, replace the air dryer, replace the priority valve, replace a wheel seal, replace the...

I did buy both. Although I like both trucks, it seems like I'm always working on the A3 and driving the A2.

I've bought a lot of parts from TNJ Murray, but no vehicles. My only issue with them was an incorrect part shipped and they made it good immediately.

That is one very nice MB! It seems that you have a lot of nice toys. I am jealous!

Working on these trucks can be intimidating for some due to the size, but as others have said, they are relatively easy to work on and a very simple design. If you don't mistreat them, they have minimal problems and are fun to drive. Also, they seem to run much better if driven regularly. As...

You've got quite a collection! You have a very good platform to start with in restoring the repair truck. It looks like minimal rust and damage. That should make a very good restoration project with the result of a very rare CCKW. Keep us posted on the progress, along with many photos.

That is one very nice looking M37. Congratulations on a job well done.

Another way to do this with steam is to buy a steamer for removing wall paper. Simply drill a hole in the end cap of the PVC pipe you used. Discard the plastic applicator from the steamer and screw the steam line into the PVC pipe cap. You will also need a small vent hole in the opposite pipe...

I would contact the technical service depts of several of the major automotive paint manufacturers. Try Sikkens, Martin Senour, etc. Don't talk to a dealer, talk to the factory.

Ditto - I would definitely replace the spindle.

I just had a coolant leak in my A2 on Saturday. I had volunteered to haul some plants for the local garden club in my A2. Coolant is spewing from the overflow tube, which leads me to believe I need a new radiator cap. The truck is running at the correct temperature. I haven't had time to...
