October 13th, 2009. Invite them to pay the shipping both ways, insurance, title, repair ans upgrades.... it should be at least a $25,000 unit if they want it that bad. And, oh yes, call your Congressman or Senator and tell them Uncle's being anal about your wish to preserve a piece...

October 13th, 2009. More sauce on the goose, please!:-D I have heard a lot of grousing in here that the Air-O-Matic steering units aren't power steering and its better to cobble up some joe shade tree hydraulic units.... Listen up! I just had the local ex-Nam deuce mechanic replace a rear...

October 11th, 2009. "WTF, James, Chrome?" I love it when you guys try to domesticate a wild animal!!! Chrome on the bumper and bumperettes might just do it (and on the .50 cal too!).Deuces were probably never designed to be in a garage (unless its a Quonset hut.... another...

October 11th, 2009. Blacktop_One: Better you then me..... I've never tolerated the antics of a housing association, I guess that goes with being from West Virginia and Texas.... However, Bull_Dog Mack 13 on heree might have some suggestions as to how to get a...

October 9th, 2009. CANVAK does the job! I'm in the middle of a frog drownder, and the canvas sealed perfectly and it just as dry as my GMA cab cover on the deuce.... if not better. Best $25.00 spent at CAbella's on my account.:razz: The smell was gone in a day or two, and man does it ever seal...

October 9th, 2009. My 1971 M35A2Wo/W "Saddam's Nightmare" was bought to preserve her history and as a working truck, she can haul stuff no other medium duty truck can take, and go places they can't go. The 1963 Swiss Cargo Unimog, ditto, and it can go places a deuce can't make it. Regarding...

October 7th, 2009. I may be looking for a complete serviceable rear cargo bow for my Swiss 1963 Unimog S404.114 to repair a damaged front cargo bow ditto. I have a German S404.114 bow, but it may not get it due to differences in the design. If anyone's got one for sale, let me know...

September 27th, 2009. Since I have not had the chance to look for the Lt.Col.'s original article on digital camoflage and since it does seem de rigeur these days, could one of you gentlemen explain to a historian like me, what the logic behind it is, as in nature there are few right angles on...

September 27th, 2009. If the tranny was overfilled, (above half an inch below the upper tranny fill hole), she'll spit oil everywhere she can, as it expands when warm. You gotta remember, when the M35A2 was designed, it was an off road truck, and untill it got the 5th overdrive gears, 40...

September 27th, 2009. There may be safety in duals, but when you run off road, the deuce can be a bear to control on side hills, in mud and deep snow. The duals can't follow the front wheels ruts, and with less weight or no weight the rear ends tend to float around wickedly and...

September 25th, 2009. Dear Sir: I have an 1968 Johnson Corporation M105A2 Cargo Trailer that could use the two plates for its tongue. I could probably get you photos and send them on, though mine are fairly weathered. Also Kaiser Jeep M35A2 Wo/W, 1971 contract data plate would be nice, mine...

September 25th, 2009. Dear Redpawn: Check with Desert Deuce, White Owl or Saturn Surplus, I do believe that if the mounting holes line up and the axle shaft is the same diameter, that a deuce air motor will work on vacuum, and I am pretty certain some of the guys...
