Got our 1970 Multifuel (non turbo) deuce up-&-runnng for the Harvest Fest parade. Pulled a lowboy trailer with a 1942 Cletrac Bomber Tug. High school band stayed about 1/4 mile behind us due to our smoke! Truck starts & runs so well I hate to make any serious modifications. Would it be safe to...

Emergency list Be glad to assist if I can from Northern Indiana. Have Deuce & tow chain! Have some parts, tools, & area contacts. Eric Wendt Knox, Indiana 574-249-0112

How about a place to exchange info on Mighty Mites? Marines used these in 'Nam. I'm about to pick one up to restore. Thanks, Eric Wendt CBVET

Yes, it's a Studebaker! Looked it over & drove it around some. It is a Stude-built M35 type with gas engine. Front winch. Body is really in great shape. Runs good. Good tires. Cab heater. Good glass. Gas engine sure is quiet compared to my Multifuel! Says he paid $7,000 a few years ago. He's...

Thanks for the responses. I guess I'll have to look at it. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks, Eric

Found an ad for a "1952 Studebaker M35 cargo truck". I'm still new at this, but the only info I've come across for 1952 6x6 trucks are references to the M135 & M211. Any ideas as to what this is? I'd like to know more about it before I go look at it. Thanks, Eric Wendt

Hey, thanks Kenneth. After you told me the size, I called NAPA. $21.00. Eric Wendt

Anyone know where I can get a wheel bearing nut "socket" for an M35? What size are those things? I have to do some brake work & really don't like the hammer & chisel method. Thanks, Eric

Thanks very much for the offer Desert Rat! But I'm way the heck up in Northern Indiana, near South Bend. Right now, I'd just appreciate any suggestions. When I have a day when my back isn't too bad, I'll start checking it out. ADVICE TO ALL: Don't try to catch an engine! Eric

Brought deuce out for Memorial Day parade. Everything fine at first. Then turned a corner & got a VERY diistinct clunk from somewhere in the rear. You could easily feel it in the front seat. Took it real slow after that. Had to finish the parade. Problem occured several more times on way home...

We drove 1,000 miles with a multifuel running flat-out at 2500-2600rpm. No problems. Used no oil, but a lot of diesel at 5 mpg! CBVET

Regarding SEABEES & SEABEE trucks: You know the SEABEES motto is CAN DO! , but at times we thought it should be MAKE d0. The Marines always complained that the other military services got the better equipment. Well the SEABEES got the stuff that the Marines didn't want. I even remember when...

Kenneth, I'm definitely not a computer person, but I think I have that signature thing fixed. Anyway, I was with MCB 62 1966-1968. We went to VietNam while MCB 74 was in training. I was always in I Corps. Furthest south I went was DaNang. I spent a total of 13 months there. 8 Months on...

Sounds right! Yes, it's set up as you describe. Thanks a lot, Eric

Thanks again joe. Eric Wendt

Thanks Joe! I'm told he wants $600 for it. Says he can get that much as scrap. I doubt that's correct, but it's what he says. I really hate to see it get melted, but I guess I'll have to let it go. Thanks again, Eric

Just found an XM 211 sitting in a field not far from me. I'm told it last ran 5-6 years ago. Owner wants to sell it. I have no idea what it's worth, or if it can be restored. I'm trying to decide whether to make an offer. I suppose I could always part it out if there is anyone who would buy the...

Bought a Deuce with 2 trailers. 1. A nice M332 ammo trailer. Needs paint, but in great shape. Can anyone tell me what the cutout in the tailgate is for? 2. An M2540-S pole trailer. REALLY nice with recent OD paint job. Don't have any use for it. Would trade for stuff for our deuce. Thanks...

My dad landed at Iwo Jima in an amphibious tank. He said it had detachable pontoons on the sides, a 75MM "pack" howitzer, & an open cupola. He said it was definitely not the seme as an Amtrack or Alligator. I haven't had any success finding pictures or info on these tanks. Can anyone help...

Okay, not the longest trip, but "interesting"... Bought Deuce in NW Minnesota. Drove it 962 miles to Northern Indiana. Three almost 60 year old 'Nam vets. The Air Force vet has only 1 eye, wears a patch, & has mediocre vision in his "good" eye. The Marine has glaucoma & doesn't see well at all...
