Hello from NE Oklahoma. I too want a deuce and may get one someday. I currently have an M-1008 CUCV truck that is being repaired (smashed pax door). I know you're going to LOVE that truck. I drove them for years in the 80's and 90's. I will never forget "ALWAYS DRAIN THE AIR" from the tanks.
I will be traveling that way soon. I will try to find it and stop by to see if anyone is there. Do you have more information on it's location? Please advise...
I too was afraid they would try to total it because of it's age and yes, I did remind them that it is a genuine, well maintained, flawless (is that even possible?) MV. If they had decided to total my truck, I would have paid for the repair out of my pocket. It took me 20 years to find this...
I am fortunate to have a metal genius right down the road from me. He is expensive (and crude) but the only things he cannot weld are a broken heart and the crack of dawn. Everything else is fair game. I firmly believe he could weld plywood if I gave him a dowel rod. As for wrapping stuff...

I walked into my garage and found a black mess all over my garage floor. Thank goodness I had sealed the concrete! Fortunately, I was able to clean up the mess. After a great deal of investigation, I found the oil leak. Apparently, the fan shroud vibrated enough to rub a hole through the...
A little over a month ago I bought an M1008. This truck was beautifully restored. I found it in North Carolina, flew there on a Friday, bought the truck and drove it back to Oklahoma. It ran awesomely (is that a word?). I love my truck. Last week, I made a delivery from Oklahoma to St...
Howdy from Oklahoma
Hello Smokindodge... I too am from Missouri (St. Louis and Festus). Where are you located? Does your M35 burn diesel or gas? I had an M35 in Korea (1980) that had a Chevy 327 that burned mogas. It was the fastest deuce in the country.
Hello Smokindodge...! I too hail from Missouri - St.Louis and Festus area. Where are you located? Congratulations on your M35. Is it a diesel truck? I had an M35 in Korea that had a Chevy 327 and burned mogas.
