When driving home in the jimmy after picking it up I experienced a "wobble" at approximately 40 mph, it was though the whole of the cab was twisting from side to side (quite violent) and as soon as I slowed down it went, now there was nothing coming through the steering...

HI Men
I need some advice on my M35 please, the tye bar or what I call a dog bone as it is shaped like one that seems to hold the rear axle on or stops it from moving, has 2 bolts going through it to the chassis rail, these in turn go through a rubber bushing, well this rubber bushing is coming...

HI
Looking through the list on OD Iron's web page I have found the parts required for my M35, is this the seller recommended by the SS people as he does ship to the UK and seems easier to get them from there than here or Holland.
Any thoughts on this please.
Hi
You all talk a lot about the maintenance of the duece, can anyone tell me please in what TM the maintenance plan is, I have been looking but can find no clear schedule to refer to?
Anyone?
Hi Guys
Probably been asked before but what is the capacity of the oil in the engine (Hercules LDT 465) and what type of oil goes in there, the reason I ask this is my oil pressure has dropped to 15/20 psi and after checking it the viscosity is very thin so I reckon I have been putting the wrong...
Morning all (well it is here)
Has anyone got any information about where and what size the markings are on a Duece, I am looking to put some stars on the truck for the coming show season just to spruce her up a bit, I assume the doors and bonnet but what size are they please.
Many thanks Mark
Hi All
I have stripped the canvas off for the summer over here and I have found out where you store the uprights behind the cab, but where do you store the bows do they go somewhere specific or just lay in the bed. Any ideas are helpful thank you

Hi All
Can anyone tell me where the circuit breaker for the horn is situated and can it be reset or does it have to be replaced once tripped?
Many thanks.
HI
Has anyone on here got some plans for making a ladder to get into the loadbed, the original ladders over here are way to expensive to buy if you can find one, so I thought you guys being good might have your own plans that you might pass on. :D
Hi all again
Is there a way to re-do the seats in a duece without spending loads of quids and doing it yourself, what is under the worn out canvas, someone might have done this before nay suggestions please.
Hi All
Went for a trip down to Dover UK with 17 other lads to look at the WW2 tunnels in the Dover cliffs, here is a video of my truck going through a small village on the way to the pub for a well earned drink. Enjoy the sounds.
