I've had good luck getting overspray off with a Scotchbrite pad, for particularly tough bits I add watery dish soap. Cheers

Does it actually have controls at both ends? It seems to be set up for the large cab to run forward, judging by mud flaps, brush bar, lights, etc. Cheers

Outstanding! Looking forward to seeing these two prettied up. Cheers

Okay - Doh! My little grey cells became confused about who was saying what about what title.... I'm no Poirot! Cheers

I hate to say it at this point, but that doesn't sound like an M35A3 title, sounds like one for a Stewart and Stevenson M1078 (4x4 2.5ton LMTV) This could come back and bite at a later date. Cheers

NAVFAC conversion of a 2wd to a 4wd, perhaps? Regardless of what it turns out to be, it is a very nice looking truck. Cheers

Around 20 years ago, there were several manufacturers producing replacement hard tops for deuces/5-tons/M37s in fibreglass and/or plastic. I've seen several, but don't know any brand names. At least one M37 brand included the windshield, split in the middle (and was pretty ugly!) Edit - I...

NAVFAC is short for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command TB 9-2300-390 would indicate a rebuild bulletin, though there should normally be a dash and two more numbers. If it was a one-off (or small number) Navy rebuild, that might account for the hand stamped plate and if the rebuild...

With regard to the earlier comment about the glass inside reflecting at night, that is very true and can indeed be confusing. Most of my large trucks are hardtops, and the rear window will very effectively reflect light back onto the front windshield, thus right back at you. If I drive at...

Sounds like you have things figured out well. In addition to extra reflective tape, I run amber beacons on all my big trucks, I want to do what I can to attract folks' attention so they will hopefully notice that they are gaining on me. You can get good 24v ones with magnetic bases, and run...

I only use most of my vehicles for shows, so haven't really checked into anything beyond that with Berkeley. They have no requirement for garaging and didn't have a problem with me pulling trailers so long as they were not being used for general haulage or for hire. My 1009s and M1028 are on...

I had State Farm for several years, but they suddenly went squirrely on me and wanted to make me take out a commercial policy, I declined so they dropped all my MVs. I promptly dropped them for my POV and Homeowners policies too. I have my MVs insured through Berkeley Classics. Cheers

I saw where you wisely intend to keep your speed down on the old tires. Unknown how much experience you have with these, you may already know to expect your cruising speed to be about 47-48 when you get your new tires on. They are quite a bit slower than their cargo brethren! Safe and...

This would be an almost impossible choice, given the candidates. :shrugs: The only thing saving me from a great deal of hair-pulling and gnashing of teeth trying to make up my mind is that one belongs to my brother-from-another-mother , so...... Cheers

Welcome aboard! You'll probably find a section of chain bolted or welded somewhere around the drivers seat, this is for the simple method of chaining your steering wheel with a padlock. I've heard good things about locking door handles, but haven't tried them myself. On M35s and M813s, I can...

Definitely, not all LEDs are created equal! I think quite a few folks on here run them on their CUCVs, either doing what you are with an LED-friendly flasher, keeping a couple of regular bulbs in the lighting system, or getting LEDs with enough built in resistance to make a stock flasher...

I do, I'll measure it up for you. ;) Cheers

That is a cool trailer! I have visions of my Mighty Mite on that... Cheers
