Ok, I mistakenly came across a few threads where members were talking about a "thick deck" ldt465 motor in the m35 series of trucks. I looked at both of my trucks and my 109 had a td designation on its block while my cargo truck does not. They both have ldt465-1d on the tag, but the '71 truck...

Does anyone have experience with dual cylinder compressors? I think my 109 has a dual but the 35a2 has a single cylinder. I have yet to try to run tools off of the air system. Am i correct in assuming that the dual cylinder is better as far as output? I figured it wouldnt be noticeable until you...

I began reassembling the painted parts to my truck today. I began tightening everything down and started the injection pump removal. The air compressor housing was already loose so i figured i would take it off to make working on the inj pump easier. i removed the compressor bracket and what i...

hey guys quick question. i ran across some fresh parts off of an a3 and intended on taking the fenders and both step assemblies to replace the rusted and damaged ones on my truck. are all but the hood and grille interchangeable? i havent had a close look at them and im not going to make a drive...

Hello gents, its been a while since ive wrenched on my truck. Largely due to lack of funds. I finally got my new/refurb injector pump to replace the leaky pump i have on the truck. I need to bypass the fdc and ive already found the instructions on here for completing that particular part. Im...

good afternoon and god bless gents. its been a long year already and a while since ive been in here. spent about 6 months paying off debts and had to let my truck take a backseat to the kids and family. the first thing i bought was a brand new cover kit which ive desperately wanted since owning...

ive searched the threads and havent found this particular topic. im looking to see if anyone has actually placed a cutoff valve of any kind in the supply and return lines to the flame heater. my preference was to keep the system and replace it with new parts. ive replaced all the tubing and...

Well guys the last few days have been adventure. Im in the process of painting the engine in my m35a2. I removed the compressor to balst in in the cabinet. I took every precaution to ensure the media didnt get inside the compressor. Much to my surprise there was more inside the compressor than...

can someone confirm that the a3 and a2 fenders, and steps are the same? Im not familiar with the a3 at all but im about to drive and look at a bunch of really nice parts taken off of a perfectly good a3 that was sacrificed to build a monster truck. Im going to take everything that will fit on...

ok guys. im polling here. what have you used as a paint for the engine block of a deuce. There are very few engine paints in a high temp that are even green much less od. Ive seen several that say they have used rattle cans. Is the engine temp not a concern? im open for suggestions. Most...

This is the weekend! I just completed leg 1 - whitewright tx to tulsa ok. Ill go from tulsa to osage beach mo tomorrow to pick up the truck. I cant wait. Im taking tons of pics.

obviously on my upcoming recovery i have two choices: drive it or ship it. Its about 450 miles and im really wanting to haul the truck as opposed to driving it. Im sure that by hauling it i can save a considerable amount of money over having it shipped on a larger truck. Has anyone shipped...

ok heres a puzzling question. logic stands to reason that if theres a threaded hole somewhere, theres supposed to be a plug in it. On the engine ive seen many of these plugs threaded into misc areas of the manifold, block etc. I crawled up under the m35a2 to trace leaks. I then noticed that...

I want an m109. I cant find one to save my life. My question is this: could i just pick up a good m35 truck and change the bed out for a box? Is this the only difference between the two trucks? Is this going to be a difficult swap? I can get a box for relatively cheap from a place here in texas...

Ok, i recently changed my oil and i unexpectedly ran across enough money to purchase a spin on filter adapter kit. Will i have to drain all the oil out to change this or does the oil run back out of the original filters. I was hoping after it sat nearly a week it would be empty. Thanks all

Hey guys my truck didnt come with this front wheel drive switch feature. Can someone please explain it to me and also tell me if it is easy to equip a truck with this or not?

well, i located a leak at the rear of the flame heater when i was changing the oil in the deuce. The leak is on the side with the snap ring. I was hoping someone could direct me to the replacement parts for this particular device. I am also looking for suggestions on where to get the pressure...

Does anyone know the part number for the small red upper oil canister gaskets?

Well ive hit the first wall in my restoration. I was replacing the doors and i found a bad rust area on the driver side under the dash. It seems that the rust is caused by water running into he crack between the windshield frame and the front cowl. The cowl has a tin patch that i found when i...
