Hundy, if you flip the rear hubs and mount the tire/wheels in reverse (ala inside), will it pull the tires inside the fenders? Rick

Hundy, any possibility of you posting a photo of the rear of the truck, showing the fenders covering the rear tires? I'd like to learn from your method exactly how much, if at all, the 105 bed and fenders leave the tire and rim combo exposed. Where I'm at you can't get away with much tire...

Uh, how about him having a "green dream" instead. I thought that maybe Kenny revived this thread to see us bob it around for a while, instead of letting it sink into oblivion. Therefore I am posting this worthless reply to bump it back to the top. Rick

If she really loved you she would perform the install...... Just kidding! Congrats on the green Christmas present. Rick

Don't know if it helps, I was looking at TM 9-2320-361-24P and found the engine stand on page 702, figure 267, item #4. The NSN is 4910-00-795-0189. You can look at the drawing, it's like Deuce Coupe describes. Rick

That winch looks like it was always there. Good work. Rick

Sure did. GL got me a corrected SF-97 and supporting documents within 4 weeks. All in all it was in Crowley's yard for an un-planned 35 days, some of which they let me slide on. In all, my error was not too costly, and I certainly know better for next time: Check the SF97!!! Thanks again for...

Thanks! I just checked their pages on the M35, and they list the entire drop-side chain assemblies but it says they are out of stock. When did you purchase yours? I did not locate the lens covers on the web parts list, so I'll call them to be sure. I have some other needed items anyway, might...

You posted your described mod, as I recall. If that was you congrats on a good idea, I think it's awesome. For me, I'd like to go as far as I can with what is currently installed. I have a ways to go to get maximum light onto the gauges using the stock illumination. Pyro and boost gauges would...

Speddmon, Thanks bro. Any idea where I can get detail parts like those caps, and some other small items on my list? Rick

I have spent the past few days going over my first purchase, restoring every little detail that I see or think of, and have come to some opinions and realizations: These trucks are not at all like the 416 Unimog. No power steering, 2 tons heavier, an extra axle to swing and a wide body and...

Justin, those spring hangers look like they belong there! are those from another application? Rick

The friction brake is an interesting tool! Any ideas where there are pics of it set up and in use? I'll take the explanation of the wood blocks used as fulcrums on faith: Putting cable pressure on end-grain sounds like a recipe for failure! Does anyone have experience with the side panel? Rick

Scott, as per your reply I tried searching "RL-39" and "reeling unit" without success. Any chance you can direct me towards the correct TM and chapter covering this tool? Rick

The long purchase and delivery plan is complete. I bought this truck in March of this year from Ft. Meade. Fellow SS members stored it and assisted with some needed parts. Thanks again to you guys for stepping up and making things happen! I drove it from MD. down to Port Everglades in October...

Shoot, If your truck needs some heavy work in the rear suspension, and you are considering a bob-job, I'd move directly in the direction of a trailer purchase! Why repair it just to replace it? That's just madness! Give that GSA purchase some lovin and flip it or part it out and you may still...

The need for a converter depends on the drivers usage. With a constant drain from a direct 12v tap, there will be problems balancing the charge rates of the batteries. For occasional small amperage 12v use while the truck is running and the 24v charging system is working, then I agree with...

That looks like a winner! I can't see if you have it, but if you build in a 1/4" gap in the bottom joint of the triangle, it will drain nicely and not gather mud and rust! Rick

Bingo. I just got the significance of this statement. Rick

Thank you Ron. You and Carnac have been informative. I am exploring the possibility of using the M35A3 trucks for a specific need that requires the use of trucks 20 years old or newer. I have your shared experience and Carnac's explanation of how the gov did and did not always identify the MFG...
