I think the 800 series came out around 1976, approximately. Vietnam ended 1975, approximately. So, no 800 series Gun Trucks. probably. My Aces & Eights is an early 67 deuce GT. Check my avatar. JT out

It was talked about by RAM and some others that the cab manufacturers made a mistake and installed the supplied data plates to all the tops, M35, 800 series and 900 series. The M35A3 is the same cab as any M35, only the 900 series uses that wider top. JT

I know a person in Upstate NY who has a Vinyl insulated top for the 900 series truck, PM me. JT

I am pretty sure Saturn Surplus shear pins are GI issue parts, they will be of the hardness required to use the winch successfully. I have to do a lot of heavy pulling with my trucks when we move barns, I do use 2 and even 3 part lines. I have broken one shear pin once, it was GI issue for sure. JT

If you can afford it, keep them both, the guys are right, interchangeable parts and you can never have enough green stuff. I prefer N/A multifuels because there is no turbo to go bad or replace. And, I love that black smoke plume out of my N/A deuces when I'm pulling the hills. Hey, There are a...

If you get a copy of TM 9-8022 you will open it to page 421 for a diagram of the linkage and on page423 paragraph (C) will explain the adjustment procedure. This manual is a 1954 original G 742 manual and is what I refer to for all of the repairs I do and questions I receive first. If it's not...

I pulled both axle shafts because I had 2 flange covers and I like symmetry. Also, if you leave 1 axle in, doesn't that let the spider gears work against eachother some as you are going down the road. I feel OK with pulling both axles and letting the power run straight through the forward rear...

I put a little Marvel air tool oil in 2 wiper motors on my M50A2 water tanker and they never moved again. I have taken many apart since then, cleaned them and re smeared the red grease that was in them back on the o-rings on the piston and they have all worked better than they did when I took...

about 6 years ago I installed lockout hubs on the front of my M109A3 shop van, and removed the interaxle driveshaft between front rear and rear rear. My fuel economy improved, it steers easier, it does not wear out front tires as fast as it used to The draw back is, it got stuck as soon as I...

The DT-466 was first used in International Dozers and track loaders in the 60's. I have run them for many years and my huble opinion says there is nothing like them any where. I now have a 24 valve Cummins 5.9 and it's great but it is computer driven, I don't want that in my tactical survival...

The Spicer W-N-7-28 and Spicer W-N-D-7-28 are the deuce PTOs. Right hand rule, wrap your right hand around the straight cut gear, look at the angle your thumb makes off your clenched fist, that is the direction the helical cut gear must be in. Use your other right for a 5 ton Spicer. There...

I set my intakes at .015" instead of .010" because that is a little tite when the engine is fully warmed up and mostly cause RAM taught me this little tidbit. I also have serious engine rattle at 2000 to 2100 on all of my non turbo deuces, I bought my first non turbo cause the previous owner...

Did you get instructions with your kit?

The Pintle hook, tie down clevis', Trailer electric connector and a 2" receivor will be there shortly, working alone now, with a bad back and rotten knee. JT

Yeah, Old Man Johnny Kolanchik had the same thing happen on a LDS-465-1a this spring, He took it all apart, asked me for a cam and called me back and said he didn't need a cam, engine was junk. He put another can engine in instead. This is the 84 year old buddy of ours that was in our Annville 5...

If mine don't squeal, does that mean they aren't working?

M16ty, I apologize for mis reading your post on frame re-inforcing the deuce bed frame. Mainly because it was very apparent to me that the cargo box frame rails are light and would need to be boxed at hinge and hoist attachment areas. Mine is well re-inforced. It might show in the original...

I agree on re-inforcing the M35 frame if you expect to use it for a heavy material dump truck. Remember, 2 1/2 tons off road, 5 tons on road, but if that doesn't suit you, you need to add a plate from the front of the tandem mount plate to the rear hanger of the front axle spring. It's serious...

oops

The truck is still under construction but now able to dump under it's own power. All the real work is done, the pto control linkage is complete and works perfect. The hoist control cable is done and works very smoothly. First time out doors so I could raise it all the way up is right now, Happy...
