Lol that’s pretty funny.

Thank you sir, wasn’t the 3rd Armored stationed in Europe mostly? Truck has some camo paint that one would often see in Germany.

I’ve spent all morning searching, could anyone tell me where my 65 Kaiser served last?

All the rears are done, crawling under the truck is done. Last is the front axle brakes and figure out how to deal with the shot differential bearings until I can afford to fix it proper. I think for now I’ll just remove the axles so nothing is spinning up front, and reassemble with the new...

Awesome then I have tubes for life. And they aren’t cheap! I agree I don’t care for the NDCCs either but they were almost free. In 5 or 6 years I will put a more modern 11.00. Fortunately Yuma is a no rain environment so no worries on rain traction with the NDTs which is their biggest drawback

In classic spirit of everything I do I want to needle scale and paint the inside of the rims if there’s any rust. So I do want to change them myself, plus it’s good exercise and a good skill to have it off road. We have lots of rocks here. I’ll have to check the date codes! Most of the inner...

Last night I found a guy 2 hours from here selling 9 tires. He responded and I zipped out there. Didn’t get home until nearly 1AM. Most of them are brand new some are lightly used. He also threw in about 20 inner tubes, 2 sets of brake shoes and a fuel pump. I got everything for $100

My steering box shaft seal was getting a little weepy. I drained 1 quart of gear oil from it and filled it with my home brew 000 grade grease using regular NLGI #2 wheel bearing grease mixed with a drill and 140 wt gear lube. Semi flowable about like ketchup. I’m cheap and the box won’t give a...

A guy on my Facebook M35 owners group has a set of handles he is mailing me for postage. But thank you regardless Will! Jacked motor up, removed booster pump and put in a new seal and is back on!

Started a new job so it’s been slow. But I got new battery box in, fabbed up a custom hold down assembly for the group 34’s. I still need the locking handles if anybody has some. All air lines have been replaced. Even down to the transfer air shift mechanism, dash lines and also resealed the...

Cleaned and put new seal in speedo adapter. It was a Kawasaki seal and the part number is in the photo. Very tight fit and stiffer seal than the oem. Should not leak! Also new speedo cable from big Mike’s. Battery box is rotten. So I bought a NOS plastic box but it has no locking handles. Does...

Relined myself with a homemade punch, the copper paint is just what I had on hand 🤷🏻‍♂️

Finished all air brake lines, converted to DOT line. Look at all that old copper! There were a few places the copper had worn almost totally through from vibrations. Battery box is headed to sand blasters for stripping. I will repair the bottom. Gutted the interior so I can replace broken...

So! Parts on the way is new parking cable, air tank check valve (this truck didn’t have one), new vented gas cap, and an Airtex e8131 to convert to a modern external fuel pump. While mine worked, it made some bad noises. Today I finished all hydraulic brake lines and secured them with new P...

My wife bought me a nice RIDGID double flare kit for my 30th bday. She saw the trouble I was having with my cheap set. This one is USA made and makes effortless perfect double flares. Hydraulic head reinstalled with new seals, button clip and Jesus clip. Next I pulled fuel pump to inspect...

Took some video of the front axle differential bearings, looks like the carrier bearings are shot besides the pinion bearings. Shouldn’t be too hard to rebuild but wrestling a steer axle is no fun while rolling it out from under the truck. Might weld up a cross bar or something to keep the...

I am putting all new lines on my M35. Some are plain steel NOS lines but the frame lines I’m using cupro nickel, if you guys like absorbing information like I do, you might like this article too. https://www.copper.org/applications/automotive/brake-tube/hydraulic_brake_tube.html

Look at all the junk I cleaned from the hydraulic head, there were a few blocked passages here and there. Still waiting on new springs…. In the meantime, tore air tanks and cut out copper lines to replace with DOT nylon. Ordered a new air tank, this one is rotted out. The primary oddly enough...

Yes, giving it new o rings and deep cleaning it. Have to wait on new springs before I can reassemble. All rear brake lines replaced, most of them broke coming off from corrosion. Very glad to see new parts under there now. Have to do frame lines next, and start tearing into front axle hubs and...

Two broken springs on order from mvpartstore.
