    Finally Bought an XM211 Deuce! 8-)

    Very nice looking truck. I was very close to buying an M211 as my first MV. I found my M35 closer to home and at a great price so I went that way. I do like the M211 body style...very cool. The Rambo Mobile

    Cab Top Bows

    what did you do??? In the motor pool they would file a notch just below the flange so that if it wanted to walk out it would catch the notch.

    Just got a 71 M35a2

    Nice truck and welcome fellow Deuce owner:-D Be sure to read the TMs. It will answer 99% of your questions and will boost your knowledge tremendously. Regarding bows and covers, there's a guy up here who has bows and corners but no covers. Pretty reasonable I think.

    Stranded Deuce in Searchlight NV

    he said his brakes locked up as he was parking it at the station. I think certain deuce brake systems need air to move?

    I found the station! He's at: Terrible Herbst gas station 670 US hwy 95 Searchlight NV 702-297-1080 I called the station and they said he was still there. Apparently the compressor he ordered from Idaho Motor pool was the wrong one. The attendant said they'd been trying to get it to work...

    Regarding the tire inflator idea, he said he tried that but the tire compressor died after a few minutes. I wish I had taken his phone number. I'm trying to find the phone number of the service station.
