The Military Vehicle Preservation Society of Tidewater has been approached about providing some vietnam-war era vehicles to be displayed at the Hampton Roads USO event on March 21 at the Hampton Convention Center. If anybody has an appropriate vehicle and would like to participate, please let...

I recently bought a pair of tan Grote LED taillights and am installing them on my M35A2. I made a video comparing the Grote LED to the stock bulb-style lights. I did a quick search, and while people have posted pics of their lights, the search engine didn't come back with any video results...

I visited the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada recently, and took some pictures. The majority of their aircraft are in flying condition and do the airshow circuit in the summer. They have the only flying Avro Lancaster 4-engine bomber in North America, as well as...

Due to my past involvement volunteering with the Virginia Arts Festival and the Virginia International Tattoo, I was asked if it was possible to get some military vehicles to display at the Tattoo this year. What they (the festival)are looking for is 3-5 vehicles of various sizes/era's to be in...

Here are some before and after pics. Picked the truck up in December, 2009. Paint is the Gillespie 24087

So I'm looking for a paint source, I've decided to go with the Gillespie 24087 for my 1966 M35A2. AJP has paint for $30.00 per gallon, but charges almost $40.00 per gallon to ship it. $280 for 4 gallons of paint/primer seems outrageous. These prices are right off their website...

I'm getting my deuce ready for painting. I'm using an angle grinder with either a knotted wire wheel to take off any rust, and a angled 36 grit sanding pad to remove excess paint down to either bare metal or primer. Since I'm not painting it immediately (I can only get a few hours here and there...

So I've finally been able to take the deuce out for a drive, to work one day about 50 minutes away. Outside temperature was in the low 40's, and the temperature never got above 165F. Is this due to the cool ambient temperatures, or possibly the thermostat sticking open. I'm going to the beach...

I sent a question to the Virginia DMV on their website with the following question. "I am purchasing a surplus military vehicle from the US government soon. I will receive a SF-97 form after purchasing the truck. The truck has never been titled before. What do I need to do to register this...

Can anyone give me some information about the seal on the drive shaft between the front rear and rear rear differential. My rear axle shifted enough for the drive shaft to separate and ruin the seal at the splined joint. What is this seal called, and could someone point me in the right direction...

I'm gettting ready to replace some brake lines on my deuce and was wondering what the most common brake failure mechanisms were. Wheel cylinder leaks, hose ruptures, air pack/master cylinder issue, or something else entirely. I'm contemplating installing 1/4" quick throw swagelock valves in...

Went up to Richmond this morning to pick up my first deuce. Two guys helped me out, one of whom was the driver of the truck/trailer we hauled it back on. I couldn't have done it without them. Thanks John and Sonny. 1. With new batteries installed, panel lights/headlights came on, but...

I'm picking up my first deuce next week. I'm planning on doing a through brake inspection and was looking through the TM's on how to go about it. The TM's have you jump around to various paragraphs to do various parts of the job, so I thought I'd try to write something down, using the TM's as...

Here is a procedure I copied from various TM's on wheel removal, brake disassembly and wheel cylinder removal. I hope it works. Right click on document and click "Open link in new window."

Looking for a better rate than the one I was quoted by GL recommended shipper. Truck is in Richmond, needs delivered to Hampton, VA (approximately 90 miles south on I-64 East). Time frame should be the end of October, assuming 45 days before I get my EUC back from BC.

I hope to pick up a M35A2 early next year, and want to get some more information from some nearby deuce and a half owners. I've sent a couple of PMs out to some locals, but figured I'd put a notice on the forum as well. What I'm looking for is someone who wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge in...
