I used the search feature but found nothing related to this. I'm doing a complete frame off restoration on a '68 M35A2. Removed the air tanks to inspect, blast and paint. There are chunks of what I thought was rust inside the tank. Shook some out and it actually looks like some type of...

I've tried that. They look at me dumbfounded and say they no longer use that system and can't access it. Seems it's either laziness or they are just ignorant of the computer, either way it's very frustrating and they just get agitated the more you try to explain it. Even tried talking with a...

This is what I recently obtained for my 68 Deuce restoration from the original paint match color. Sorry for the late reply. Would love to be able to use the Federal Standard codes however every paint place I have been to in my area says they either don’t have them or can’t access them. Hard...

I’ll have to check the code when I get back. While disassembling the truck I found small parts that were the original 1968 dark olive green never touched by sunlight. Took to Home Depot and they color matched the paint perfectly. Put some on one of parts with original paint and you couldn’t...

Just used Behr Marquee semi-gloss from Home Depot over standard gray rustoleum rattle can primer on a few parts. Only issue is paint is really soft and has stayed tacky for 3 weeks. Can says can take up to 4 weeks to cure. Therefore having to hang parts for long periods otherwise they stick...

That looks really nice! I have a '68 Deuce that I'm currently doing a complete frame off restoration to. It's currently in about a bizzillion pieces and the frame and axles are lying on the ground. Didn't realize how intimately familiar I was going to get to know this truck, but it's been...

I ordered the 66605. Thanks for all of the input and information! Great stuff.

Wow. These specs between the two are very close. Less than half an inch difference between travel distances, same size stems and thread pitch. Only difference seems to be overall compressed and extended length by a minimal amount. Not sure what an extended bumper stop is. Given I only drive...

Thank you sir!

Getting ready to replace shocks on 68 Deuce as part of total frame off restoration. So are the Monroe 66605 shocks the correct direct replacement or are the stem thicknesses at 5/8" too big? Thanks.

This is good to know, I was not aware. What is the best method to wash this? Degreaser in water in a five gallon bucket? Thanks.

I'm in the middle of full frame off restoration of a '68 Deuce. While disassembling, I found some of the original era paint under a removed part which appeared in pristine color condition, unexposed to elements or light. This was taken to Home Depot last month and an exact (and I mean exact)...

Thank you all. I just got off the phone with a Behr paint rep. Trying to avoid oil based primarily because I'm lazy and don't like the mineral spirit cleanup hassles. I'll summarize the info I just received in the event someone is looking to do the same: - Stated that while the Marquee is...

This is excellent! Thank you very much!

What color is the above photo, 383 green? Couple of technical questions, as I am preparing to do a complete frame off restoration of a '68 M35A2 which is currently in 3 color camo. 1) Was going to try to keep it in a '68 paint scheme but not real fond of the 24087 color. I really like the...

What color green is this truck painted? Thanks.

Apparently not around where I live. I went to two, they don't cut glass anymore, they only order glass for specific cars they are replacing it for and installing it.

Wow, that's a lot of work. Nice job! I was looking at potentially replacing the glass on my windows as the frames are still in pretty decent shape. However I could not find anyone that carried or would make a flat glass windshield panel. How much did the glass cost to have made? Thanks for...
