Yes, I am very happy with that mileage. I believe without the heavy tool box and stuff in the bed I would have easily been over 9 mpg. I believe these are expected, typical mileage for a deuce, especially with the front hubs unlocked. There were plenty of hills to climb too, but I wasn't...

June 23 & June 25th: I drove my M35A2 over 300 miles (one way) to attend the Idaho Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA) show and swap meet. This year it was held in Meridian, ID...

m715mike, I really appreciate all the nice things you have to say. :) I apologize it took me over a week to respond, but - you are correct - it was a work in progress. That said, I think I've dug through most things and caught up - except my most recent trip and Independence Day Parade. I...

These are my favorite parts vendors. I often compare prices and shipping costs. http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/ https://www.bigmikesmotorpool.com/pages/frontpage http://mvpartstore.com/ https://www.realcustomtrucks.com/ You can also always post a WANT AD in the SteelSoldiers...

I'd like to see infractions removed from the account once they exceed the specified time period. At this time that is 365 days. Even if it is past the 365 days, or thousands of days, the note and comment stays there permanently.

Hope you like it. If it were at my location it would just be a wasp breeding factory!

You're very welcome! Though their show could use more variety an not just "stock" restorations, there were some fine specimens to ogle at.

The owner of this M923A2 with 16.00-20 tires volunteered to stay awake and patrol the area both nights as security. Bless his soul! The owner of this M35A2 showed up later with one of his kids in the car seat!

Apologies to those who had their names and vehicle info displayed that I didn't get pictures of to give proper credit. Kevin Rich's 1967 M151A1 (that was for sale)

And what everyone's been waiting for, the show pictures: Of course, my 1972 AM General M35A2 Barry McCahill's 1953 Dodge M37

I would like to report that the trip was 100% successful! Since all the driving was in daylight, we didn't get a roof mounted flashing light and just placed the large, yellow sign "Convoy Ahead" on the tailgate of the chase truck. No incidents and no break downs of either vehicle - just a couple...

There appears to be an M35A2 (or possibly an M39 series 5 ton judging by the front fender gap) resting in a farmer's field about 15 miles east of Eden, ID on the north side of the interstate. The tourist trap "Garden of Eden" gas station in Eden, ID We (and our poor dogs) found out the...

For those of you who were not able to able to make the show, here is what you missed: This was my first grand journey in my 1972 AM General M35A2. It was about 650 miles (total) witch translated into about 7-8 hours of driving each way, which took 9-10 hours total with stops. I ran a dash...

On June 18th, 2017, I wired up marker lights on the front. The mounts I purchased over a year ago, used, from Mr. Castle Bravo here on SteelSoldiers. They were from an M939 series truck that he parted out. Many trucks used these mounts and had marker lights in this very location on the front...

It looks pretty good for sure! However, it appears to be on inside out and possibly backwards (I can't tell from the pictures). The vents at the top of the end curtains should have the protrusion outside of the cargo cover. Picture a hard rain running down the cargo cover, the proper way will...

Of course you're right, and that's exactly what I discovered! I didn't realize that the gears could move so easily so I didn't watch as closely. I'm happy to report I was able to resolve it, and learned something in the process. I'm still not a fan of taking off the transmission tunnel. :lol...

Word of warning to anyone doing the transmission mounted, automatic reverse light switch: Make sure you are very careful when putting on the top plate of the transmission and test the movement of the truck before reinstalling the tunnel cover. I pulled off the top plate while it was in neutral...
