Gentlemen: attached is a photo of my parking brake assembly, taken today. I think one side of these shoes looks worn (or gone). Would that be a correct assumption? Also, is there an agreed upon procedure for adapting the air access port under the dash with standard air fittings? Many thanks in...

I also have several push buttons that don’t match the manual. Aftermarket stuff? I found that this was used by the city of Farmington, NM for some time.

Ok, guys… one simple question. Someone cut the air hose at the dash (inside the cab) for the air-powered wipers. I’m putting electric wipers on. would it be safe to assume that hose needs to be plugged?

i don’t know if it’s a “trend.” I can only speak for mine. Are there others like this?

This is interesting: Is this another deuce with a five ton cargo bed? Am i missing a trend?

The one thing I forgot to do was measure the width and length of the larger bed (facepalm). I can’t find a reference to this anywhere- does anyone happen to know? I’m going to tarp it on my next visit.

Thanks. pal. It’s much appreciated. Much learning yet to be done.

it’s an M46A2C.

I actually found a local machine/hydraulic shop that would be interested in working the project, only 35 miles away. Things are taking shape. I’ll be down there tomorrow, looking at data plates, and finally figuring out the air assist steering kit.

So this is it.

and it just disappears… out of sight. It was never there. 😉

And now.

I gotta be honest. The knuckle boom Is the main reason we bought this. I bought it sight unseen, and I’m not bragging. I lucked out. We’re building a house in a remote area this year, hopefully. The truck is there waiting for us. Now I just need to figure out the details, like… I need a crane...

thanks! and it looks like a stock steel long frame. I’ll know more Saturday.

So, yes, it’s a five ton bed. I’m also convinced it’s an M36. With the crane and all, I’m trying to put my mind into the place this previous owner had. A deuce is big enough by any standard. But the cost and effort to throw a 5 ton bed on deuce, with a crane? WTF?

from what I’m learning, it’s definitely “different.”

This is an M36. Someone prove me wrong.
