March 19th, 2010. Snakehunter 1964 and Stouttrout: Cheers, Gentlemen, from Paris, Texas...... I'm so far from anything interesting as regards OD Iron in Texas, that they have to pipe sunlight into the neighborhood. :roll:I am pretty sure that if you look around something...

March 19th, 2010. Maddog: That is probably some variation on the sewing shop/ or shop trailer insert for the M105. Without the box and with the standard cover, they are humongus, with the box, they are just plain huge. I can never figure out why the rocket scientists always want to pull...

March 18th, 2010. Greasemog: Nice closed cab CCKW, hope you have some good times running her... Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:D

March 18th, 2010. Airbornebandsman: You can get the new cork keyway wedges from White Owl Parts. Silicone is generally not the approved method of sealing the keyways to keep them from leaking. PM magazine which is on the resources here had an article on the correct way to cure whats gonna be...

March 18th, 2010. Dieselfuelonly: How cold was it when the gentleman went to start it with the ether? My M35A2, when the starter cooperates (bad solenoid-another story for another time), will start down to the low 20*F without the manifold heater being used. A deuce multifuel should almost...

March 18th, 2010. I hear a lot of guys run down the SEE's, but I never have seen someone dig an artillery fighting position lately with the old D handled shovel..... They can do faster then 40 MPH, but with the weight of that rear backhoe, even folded, I would not push one over 40-42...

March 18th, 2010. Congratulations on your win. A3's are A3's.... If they run fine, but as more A2's were built, the A2's have a better chance of having a parts supply in the long term. I was never fond of the CTIS system, the Russian trucks have a better, more reliable system. And...

March 18th, 2010. I'd say at least turn carefully and park in different spots on the driveway. Harpers Ferry NHP unwisely paved the bus parking areas with asphalt when it installed its transit bus system in 1990, and by the early 2000's it had to take out the asphalt and put concrete...

March 18th, 2010. Wouldn't the parts you need be the same for a civillian K class pickup of the same year? Almost any reputable junkyard should be able to find you the parts pretty quickly....:-P Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:grd:

March 18th, 2010. Maddawg: Back in the late 1970's or early 1980's, the usual way to dispose of Hueys at Chambersburg or Letterkenny was to hoist them to the top of a crane boom, drop them about 75' in free fall, disconnect the hoist cable and then run over them...

March 17th, 2010. Mudstone, old man: Time to look for a green beer, boyo! It never pays to push a truck when the fan belt goes, especially not a diesel. Lets hope you're only out the belts and the coolant cap, otherwise you might want to invest in something simpler, like a 20 speed...

March 17th, 2010. Dieselfuelonly: I have a 1971 M35A2 Wo/W "Saddam's Nightmare" in icon annexed. I paid under 5 grand for her from a member on here and I have about 3,000 in repairs and upgrades in 3 years this October coming up. One of the upgrades was an Air-o-MAtic...

March 17th, 2010. Shadrach: Sorry to hear your truck paid the price for some inbreds who wanted to joy ride.... Here in Texas when a man tries that, well, in most cases he leaves with lead poisoning... Makes him very easy to find. I think my friends back in Morocco in...

March 17th, 2010. NOT a spot of green on her for St. Patrick's Day......Though the trailer does make up for it. The icon annexed is my M35A2 Wo/W "Saddam's Nightmare", Desert Shield Desert Storm veteran deuce, solid 686A Tan with black markings, no inverted "V" in evidence on the cab doors...

March 16th, 2010. Lrjet23: The long post and photos of your trip posted today were worthy shots, just goes to show these beasts can stagger along pretty well, but they do love their maintenance. Good trip (any trip you can walk away from is a good trip)[thumbzup] and no more German...

March 16th, 2010. 50shooter: It's as military as about 95+% of the U.S.Air Force and Navy vehicles in government service, and at least as military as the M880 and CUCV series of vehicles, and at least some parts will still be available on the civillian market. If you...

March 15th, 2010. Were any GMC M135/211's hurt in that stunt? Yes...... Back then they were as cheap and as common as dirt, we used to get them from DRMO and set them up as construction trucks.... Boy, were they ever underpowered (and some of you guys think that an M35A2's...

March 15th, 2010. Lrjet: Glad to hear that you and the truck made it home safe. You might want to replace the short driveshaft (12") bolts with new GI ones, several sources (White Owl, Eastern Surplus, Memphis, Boyce), as these are high maintenance items when running on the road for...

March 15th, 2010. If I were going to move this beastie regularly any distance, I would be looking around for an 800 or 900 series road tractor, because the deuce is not gonna be fast enough on hills to keep from getting run over on the interstate! My own M35A2 in the icon annexed is gonna get...

March 14th, 2010. Maxim: "Remember,Airman, the Army wants the last say on anything you read" Cool, makes me think of "Good Morning, Vietnam!" That is one cool piece of equipment! Cheers, Kyle F. McGrogan:driver: NB: I remember the sound of similar units when I worked briefly in radio...
