The quality looks good, but the right side looks to be a bit heavy on the black paint.

Okay, so I got some time and took a better look at the tank and started scraping off some of the paint that was flaking. Unfortunately, I found that it had a bad rust spot on the bottom that resulted in a pinhole leak. I determined that it was just the one spot, the rest of the tank other than...

You could also laminate it by building a jig out of plywood to the right arc, and then glue up strips of wood and clamp them. Might be easier than steaming a thicker piece of wood. Use Tightbond waterproof glue and a lot of clamps.

Nice, wish I had some extra cash....:drool:

Not to mention, if you have blowby or bad rings, you could have some diesel in addition to oil. I wouldn't ever weld on any kind of "container" that had petroleum products in it.

Just a note on the seatbelt thing, in thirty years in the fire service, I've only seen two accidents where people burned. But it really didn't matter about the seatbelts 'cause they were dead before they burned.

The turret hard top will definitely be an eyecatcher, they're pretty rare for a hard top.

I can't see going through all the hassle and expense of converting to an automatic. The standard is going to be easier and cheaper to work on. Not to mention parts are readily available. It's not like switching trannys in a Ford pickup.

Wouldn't those be M35A3's? 'Cause this definitely isn't an A3. It's got the three color camo paint too.

Which it ain't. :roll:

That's WENCHING...

It would also be a good place to mount a flashing light for convoys. Just add a pole and wiring.

I saw an ad for a non running M35 W/W, looks to be in decent shape body wise from the photo. No bows or tarp that I can see, and doesn't look like there's a soft top. It's also missing the grill. Of course the seller didn't give much info on why it wasn't running, but did say there was a...

They've also caused a few deaths because firefighters have mistaken them for tanks.

I'm extending the front frame of my WO/W deuce. I have a 3 point lift boom (for a tractor) that I'm going to modify to fit on the front bumper shackles. I just have to cut off one of the tabs for the hitch pin on one side. I just have to work out a way to attach the top link attachment point...

Another note on recovery, if you are trying to recover a vehicle that has slid off the side of the road on a hill, and is in danger of sliding further down the hill, you WILL need TWO recovery vehicles. An MV with shackes on the bumper is easy, because you can just hook to those. Just hook to...

I try and stay as far away from HF power tools as I can. Their sandpaper is okay though.

Is anyone selling the rubber mudflaps for deuces? Or are there any commercial ones that fit? I haven't seen any surplus ones for sale.

After looking at some pics of 818's, I'm thinking that's what it is, a right side tank. Anybody rigged up an aux. tank in the bed of a deuce? How did you plumb it in? That's what I'm thinking of doing. I think I'd mount it in the front center, and put fold up wood slats on top like the bench...

Ah true, that's what it looks like. (Just goes to show how busy I've been, I didn't even look at it that close) So I guess that would mean it would've gone on something with saddle tanks?
