Sermis, Duals on this truck. A future yet to be found and bought multifuel will probably get the tires and rims like you are running. I figure a running Gasser is something somewhat rare and deserves not to be modified as much as I would like. I hear "I have never even seen a Gasser" a lot...

I hit the wrong reply button above. Here you can see my thinking ahead about brakes because I didn't worry about painting anything near them since they will we removed along with the hubs and bearings to give my students something to do. Sermis, I meant to call you between coats tonight, but I...

Yes, the lines are the same and yes, I am going to replace all the brake lines and hoses. The long metal line to the rear axles has already been replaced. I have new front rubber hoses along with another line for the drivers side front. My plan was to get the cab/fenders/hood on the truck and...

NO! I did look at that before I took it off too Kenny. But, since I have the dash all the way off, all I have to do is hit the hole in the firewall and then move it pretty much anyway I want. If doing it from the top of the frame rail doesn't work, I think I can bring it in from under the...

I have been really trying to figure out a way to get the painted redone cab back on the truck without scratching it all up. Yesterday I rebuilt my previously non working air pack and kept stopping to look at the steering box everytime I walked by. (Oh, does anybody have the seal for the rear...

It seems there are at least a dozen people on here besides myself pulling a M35 apart down to the frame right now or are thinking about it. I painted my replacement cab a few days ago and pulled the original cab off Friday. I figured a few pictures and suggestions might help those of you still...

Ace, I know from the way you post almost daily that you believe everyone on the internet except yourself to be blubering idiots who can't read. However, that is not always the case. I for example have the DDoyle book and have read it several times cover to cover. I also have 6 of the 7...

I have a 1952 M35 and a 1953 M35. The 1952 is being made like new again while the '53 sits in the field and gets to store parts inside it. I also have another rust free Gasser cab/fenders/hood/running boards that are going to live on the '52 real soon. While prepping the cab, I came across 2...

Uh-oh. Guess I will scratch some paint then. I attempted to paint the cab last night. By the way, if you are set up to paint at 1600 hours and the temperature is 60. But, you don't start because a fellow green iron addict is coming over on his way from Alabama to Montana and you don't want...

OK, I figured out that the small hole at the far outside 2 o'clock position is for the wiring harness to the flame heater. I couldn't find any pictures for it, but the cab has other evidence that one was installed at one time and the plug from the controller to the heater fits the hole just...

Thanks for the pictures Chris. Those are a big help. Nice talking to you on the phone too.

I have everything I need to make a flame heater for the cab except the distribution box under the dash and the hoses. I can get the hoses. But, being in Texas, I have never seen an actual heater box in real life. I don't won't to buy a complete heater kit to get one either. My solution is to...

Somewhat common problem and a common fix. Thank you gentlemen. I painted a bunch of small parts and a few more rims tonight. While waiting for the first coat to flash, I got to looking at the running truck cab and realized the smaller hole outside and above the heater inlet was also something...

Lanty, You mean weld upside down? That hurts! About what I was thinking. But, since this is a new to me model truck, I was wondering if maybe this crack is common and a fix that works has already been figured out. Don't want to get in a race with Tom on that "wheel" invention thingy.

I finally got all the broken fasteners done, the cab back off its back and the one big dent on the back is now about 15 little dents. I just need to sand, clean and paint the darn thing. But, I started looking at the firewall before I got to sanding yesterday and can't figure out the 4th hole...

Check the linkage first. It could just be the shift fork isn't engaging all the way. Especially if you have been hitting the snow pretty hard and your t-case mounts are worn out. the case could have moved just enough to make them out of adjustment. Your frame could have been tweeked just...

I like how the entire deck in one of the pictures is .50 ammo cans. You really can't have too much ammo can you?

Yep!

Chris, Below is what the cab floor looked like when I first started working on it a few weeks ago. Lots of oil and grease. I used a scrub brush and whatever that purple degreaser stuff Castrol makes is called to get most of the junk off. Then I borrowed a friends pressure washer to try and...

Well, I forgot that my work will not have internet access Monday, so I went out and took pictures tonight. These are the patched up sections after I got them painted a decent color. I couldn't get a grinder to a good bit of the welds and basically don't care because they are water tight and...
