MAy 23rd, 2010. R.Lee Ermy::beer: "I'm gonna PT you untill your a-s sh-ts diamond cufflinks" A memorable line from a memorable man.... BOY, did they ever line up to see the Gunny! I was nowhere in the area, but I still think we ought to ally ourselves with the Gunny by showing up...

May 23rd, 2010. Make my vote for Semi-Gloss OD.... Much easier to maintain then any of the ultra flats and less likely to attract rust to your hood and fenders, too!:shock:

May 23rd, 2010. Hammerdown:;-) That M35A- makes you a member of an elect group, especially in the UK. Now you will have to learn to deal with left hand drive in a right hand world, and all those little British cars. Be careful, do your PMIS, and drive it like you have no brakes..... with the...

MAy 23rd, 2010. Atomic Hillbilly: If you want to go anywhere fast, you probably don't want or need an M series vehicle, much less an M35A- variant, because like most off road trucks of their period, they were not designed for road speed, but rather off road capabilities. I will...

MAy 22, 2010. Goodyear G177's M+S 1100R20's will go on the standard deuce, and they are about 43" OD. Anything bigger and you probably need a five ton or better yet an HEMTT.....[thumbzup] I worry somewhat about the liability inherent in altering a forged dogbone link to a different...

May 22nd, 2010. Wolf_Dose: Thanks for the comments. The Unimog S404.114 in the states is more onsidered a high speed tractor or rather a low speed truck. Very few of us over here operate them for extended trips on their own wheels, preferring to have them trucked or haul them on a trailer...

May 22nd, 2010. Gents: Now I'll see if theory fits practice on the road trip(s) from here (Paris, TX) to Springfield, IL during the next month. I still hope that my fellow members will continue to consider weight loss versus altering the trucks.... The benefits are...

May 21st, 2001. Thanks, Gents: Now its time to get all that work done on these trucks that was put aside due to unemployment. I actually think the Unimog will make it under her own power, they just were never known in Europe as distance running trucks, but then...

May 21st,2010. Thanks Boatcarpenter, the link helps some. What I see is a bent 1/2 rd mild steel bar, with a dogleg and tail on one end, and the other end threaded for 1/2" nuts. As best as I can determine the "tail" goes through a hole in one cross sill and the other end is passed...

May 20th, 2010. Kenny: I figure from the manual that the M35A2C's must have holes cut in the top angle bulb rail to let the bottoms of the staves rest either in brackets attached to the front wall of the bed or on the bottom sill's top area.... I'm not inclined right now to...

May 19th, 2010. Cranetruck:;) Nice decal on the pipline truck...NOW you need to get Mad Magazine's permission to do Alfred E in a PASGT!:-D

May 19th, 2010. :DKenny: I was figuring to use some 1/8 or 1/4"X 1" flat stock to make two holder strap steps for each side of the rear cab window, attached to the 2nd down from the top and second up from the bottom wood slats in the headache board, with the stave feet resting on the front...

May 19th, 2010. flyxpl: I'll be looking around for a new homestead in one of the smaller towns around Springfield (if any such still exist), particularly ones without HOA's or inane regulations on military trucks... I have watched others on here get slammed by the...

May 19th, 2010. My Oct. 1976 TM-9-2320-209-10/1 on page 2-124 shows the staves and corners stowed in front of the headache board on the cargo deuce in an upright position, with the corners facing (forward? or backward?) and the bows stored under the bed and tied off to something on...

May 19th, 2010. VAFISH: Nice video, you needa deuce.....;)! What was the hold down bracket for way out at the front center of the hood? It looks like the safety catch used on the cowls just in front of the standard M35A2 windshield on the driver's side to catch the hood latch when the...

May 19th, 2010. Well, Gents: It looks like my M35A2+M105A2 and Unimog S404.114 (Swiss) are all gonna get to earn their keep shortly on two road trips from Paris, Texas to Springfield, Illinois in the next month or so. I figure the M35A2 and M105A2 should be good for 7-1/4 tons on the road...

May 19th, 2010. The Fording kit does nothing for the fuel tank because the closeable vent on the tank cap seals out water. I do believe that the tank is pressurized in the fording kit, see the video of the REO Eager Beaver fording down in Florida on YouTube, that puppy was a cousin to a...

May 18th, 2010. Nuckollsinc: Nice rig, must be a hop to get in and a jump to get out without steps!! The usual suppliers on here can get you new NOS wiper blades, and somewhere on here one of our members has a post (check resources) for conversion to better, more modern...

May 18th, 2010. 1968 Johnson Corporation M105A2- 4 color MERDC camouflage with 686A tan tarpaulin, this is the was that the 120th Combat Engineers had it in Okmulgee, OK when I bought in in May 2008 from GL in Norman,OK. I suspect that it was in Desert Storm/Desert Shield, as was the...

May 17th, 2010. Nuckollsinc: You have probably made the Guiness Book of Records for being the first guy to EVER get rid of a BMW for a deuce in any form, while completely (I presume?) sober...... I personally prefer a straight M35A2 Cargo or S404.114 Unimog over those squishy, twisty, sports...
