Gentlemen:
As the vehicle was restored as a Military Police CUCV, and as the gentleman was neither dressed as nor representing himself as a Military Policeman, I do believe that there is a First Amendment Case here, inasmuch as the State...

You DO KNOW that the Ohio River Towboats use a tiller lever or joystick to steer them and their tows, and I suspect it may not be too far in the future when automobiles and trucks may be controlled with the old eyeball direction system like the weapons on the UH-1's...

PTQ530C:
I suspect that you are going to emphasize to us civillians the reason for not downshifting the deuce is likely the chance of missing the shift and ending up with a very uncontrollable truck, especially on steep grades with a loaded...

OH, I FORGOT THE WEST COAST MIRRORS HAVE TO COME OFF TOO!!!! BEtter go for the original shaky one arm mirrors and really hate life, but at least they ought to fold fairly easily. Are you sure an M38A won't handle your OD fix???

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET IT TO FIT YOUR GARAGE- DO EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE- THEN fit your cab with a GMA soft top on the original removable cab irons, strike all that hardware neatly folded into the bed, remove your exhaust stack and carefully fold the windshield down...

Dear Sir:
Please do note the export requirementson the EUC, and note my post above on "M35A2- Starting Batteries- Replacement of" about the M35A (in the Deuce forum above) that managed to make it to MONGOLIA (I'd love to know the story...

DO NOTE POSTS ABOVE ON AMOUNT OF ETHER USED!! Diesels pretty much hate ether for starting, it works, but too much and the diesel won't start-period. I have a German Deutz Diesel, FL912 4 cylinder air cooled driving a 30 KW genset, and even at -30*F it would start...

WOW! Wish I didn't need a CDL for one of those 900's, but that is a great way to arrange the brake system components, but on the Deuce the spare tire would sure get in the way of the master cylinder/proportioning valve/reservoir assembly!! Man, that setup is pure...

There's a couple of NOS flasher Units on Ebay under M35A2, and I pretty certain that several of the suppliers on here can get you one, check OD IRon,Saturn Surplus, Et Al.

February 2nd, 2008. Eat More Groundhog (at least in Pa. as theirs called of 6 weeks more winter- none of the others did!)
Gentlemen:
Great discussion, just let me add that I do believe Mr. JATONKA's going to be selling me a set for the front axle, and probably one for the OE for...

I will report back whatever I can find out from Memphis Equipment (and/or Boyce and/or Eastern Surplus)on the components, and prices if available as kits, also what they would charge to convert the vehicle on site (theirs) as no doubt their mechanics have done it...

Unfortuneately I can add nothing to the above in terms of advice for cleaning the canvas, and unfortunately we want to keep our trucks authentic, but on the railroad ( freight train above can corroborate this), we would use Dupont Imron# paint to repaint the...
