Hi from GA and HELP !

olewhiskey · Jun 25, 2011

New here registered but first post ever. Also got problems. Just brought my m35A3 home and smacked into a wall when a front tire blew. Need a passenger fender,leaf spring front passenger,a wheel ,and gas tank straps. Also metal mud flaps for the bed on passenger side,a front ctiv valve and the ctiv guards on the passenger side.
Can anyone tell me which of the parts interchange with the 35a1/2s and 5 ton? Where I can find the fenders and wheels in Ga? Or regionally?
Thanks a ton Steel Soldiers.

That sucks, was anyone injured?

olewhiskey · Jun 25, 2011

No we went up an embankment just past the solid granite wall and flipped the m105 trailer over slowly, took a tractor trailer recovery rig to flip the trailer back over, very little damage to the trailer to fix. Then back us down the embankment. The steering wheel is also bent now :shock:

Wow that's a **** of a way to start out! do you know Gimpyrob?

Those tires are getting notorious for failure. They get damage from sitting flat.

If they are the same as an A2 I have brand new right fenders......PM for price and contact info.

kipman · Jun 25, 2011

I thought you sold all those to CC

wreckerman893 · Jun 25, 2011

I thought you sold all those to CC

I sold all of the first batch I bought......I thought I had bought a lot of 5 ton fenders the next week but they were a few deuce ones in the bunch. I have new 5 ton fenders too......all right hand side.

kipman · Jun 25, 2011

My bad.

olewhiskey · Jun 25, 2011

Not sure myself which fenders fit?

wreckerman893 · Jun 25, 2011

DAMIFINO.....maybe some of the subject matter experts can wade in.

I know the hood was modified and I know the air cleaner was big and sticking up on the passenger side. There was also some sheet metal difference on the front.

If you can use one I am not that far away from Winder.

Thanks Kipman for the phone call, you confirmed some things I thought might swap.
I think I will post the pics of the damage tomorrow and give Steel Soldiers updates on progress. With any luck it will back in action on the 4th of July.

I am curious if the tires were flat when you picked up the truck ? The guys here on SS will help you get you back ont the road at a resonable cost .

olewhiskey · Jun 25, 2011

Not that I am aware of. I bought it from another man who picked it up at Redstone. They looked very good to me when I did the walk around but upon close inspection I can see checkering. I believe this truck sat in a national guard armory for a while. When it blew we were moving at 47mph downhill and over a bridge. I should add total seperation of the two layers and the guy with me, my diesel mechanic said he hit the roof because it sounded like a IED from his tour in Iraq.

CSI in talliposa ga will have all the parts, but there not always the cheapest. However, I by alot of items from them. Tom in parts is very helpful.
