@Tinstar might know someone.

Some more pics from when it was departing my soggy cold driveway-

The fun began yesterday, driving it up and down the road for the first time. Learning the idiosyncrasies of the deuce transmission. Never was so much fun had, while going so slow. In a cold drizzling rain.

Here's a teaser -

I'm about 12mi from the NE border, and I have a truck as well as accessories available. Welcome to the hobby!

JMHO $150 each seems like a first approximation.

Hey! That looks familiar. :)

Worked for me. Here are screenshots of the relevant information, note particularly the Starfish details under the pic where they experienced the EMP but not ionizing radiation-

EMP has substantially more range than the lethal ionizing radiation. CME can also generate an EMP. The link you didn't read was US Naval Institute..

Your assertion conflicts with USNI https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2023/february/emp-or-solar-incident-could-result-blackout-wa That said, I don't really think hardening our vehicles against EMP is of much value either.

Good info on the bearings. As to the water tanks causing trucks to flip, it isn't so much the weight as it is the slosh. A half full unbaffled tank is far more dangerous than a full one. Using a 5ton doesn't really resolve this. If you've never experienced it, it's quite impressive. Make a...

Won't that attract rats?

Um, @98G 'S ad has a substantial decrease in price as a result of the MRAP rims and 395's being sold off of it...

I wasn't clear. Full air conversion for a deuce isn't a thing. Full air begins at 939series or newer.

The things to think about on the M35A3 is the automatic transmission and the Cat engine. My preference is a manual transmission. I've got nothing bad to say about the CAT other than expense. AlReal air brakes are a substantial upgrade, even over the dual circuit brakes. All things...

They make forks with a frame that take the place of the bucket. They're not a lot more expensive than those bucket ruiners. I have no idea how I ever lived without them.

I second the ringing endorsement of pallet forks on the tractor.

I like singles. I just don't think they're the best choice for a wrecker. (And I have a wrecker with singles)

The easiest way to put super singles on it would be 395s on LMTV rims. I'd keep it dualled for stability reasons.

I've never seen it done with an M1101. @CARNAC did something similar with an M101 if i remember correctly. Like you, I'm thinking it'd be pretty trivial to accomplish.
