    M35A3 Tire Replacement

    This month, I bought 5 new Michelin 14.5R20 (dated 2008 ) from Expedition Imports Corp, in Vallejo, CA. Fair price, even with shipping. (They have a web site, but I think you need to call them, as they were not listed there when I purchased.)

    WC-51: What to look for...

    If your goal is restoration, straight sheet metal and period engine (T214 or T215) are important. In any case, Midwest Military and Vintage Power Wagon (and even epay) will be important to you, as there are more NOS and good repo parts available then you would ever expect!

    Flip wheels or cut axle? M105a2

    I have a project in which I need at least 64 inches between the wheels, instead of the stock 57 inches. Can I just flip the 9.00-20 wheels (w/ndt tread) on the M105A2 trailer axle (i.e., is doing that problematic??), or should I just bite the bullet and cut/lengthen the axle...?? Thanks for...

    radio in m35a2??

    Crazy thing is - with three years in the Army (1968-1971) stationed at Ft Knox, Ft. Lee, Atlanta Army Depot, Ft Bragg, and a tour in Viet Nam, I never saw a radio in an M35 - except PRC-25s hanging in some cabs. After saying that, I have a AN/VRC-64 with a VIC-1 in my M35A3....!! Mark
