Even from that angle it looks nice! Looking forward to seeing more of it :)

At least you have a newer motor :cool: Regarding the trashed boots, I don't think it should be a problem as long as you keep most of your driving to paved roads. The boots are only dust covers; they aren't waterproof and they aren't meant to hold grease in the steering knuckle. Get grease on...

So is it an older deuce with a newer engine, or do you have one of the air force trucks?

It ought to have split brakes then.

One more thing I discovered, at least with my truck: The fuel/water separator will drain best right after the motor is shut off. I think this is because there's still enough fuel pressure to force draining. Waiting a longer time will not allow for draining at all. Make sure to wear a hat and...

After driving my truck a bit more, it seems the tach is still off a little bit, by maybe 200 RPM or so. Idle speed is spot-on it seems. It just gets a little wacky when running the engine faster than that. At this point that'll probably be a next year project.

Last fall a guy in Buffalo was asking $6,500 for a nice-looking early 70s M35A2 with winch, cargo cover, and LED headlamps. Driving condition, too. I think that was a pretty good deal.

I've seen people asking between $4,000 and $7,500 in driving condition. Of course the driving condition varies, but I've seen some gems get sold. The M35A3s are being asked for about 50% more. This is based on searching mostly Facebook Marketplace.

I dread any wiring problem! Doesn't matter how big the vehicle is!

I'll need a HET for that eventual Leopard! I'm pretty sure the next truck is going to be either an M35A2 or a HMMWV. My wife would love to have a tan slant back, and it would give the rest of the kids something to ride in!

I got it from my dad. He grew up in a time where a bunch of WW2 and Korean War stuff was cheap! In the mid 70s he paid $300 scrap value for a driving halftrack o_O I'm just going to have to shop a lot smarter! I'm going to get some stuff together about my air raid siren next.

The HEMTT seems to be an efficient truck design. It doesn't have to be tall to move 10+ tons of cargo down the road at 70 mph, or through the woods on bulldozed roads where it might snag higher-up tree branches.

I'm finally creating a topic here to feature my military vehicles and other military-related stuff. I only have one right now (1995 AM General M35A3), but I have no doubt I'll be getting more. As long as this forum exists, I will be posting stuff here featuring my stuff. Not only am I into...

I'm hoping now that next year at the ESATA truck show that I'll be able to get a picture of my deuce next to a HEMTT and maybe I'll remember to post a picture here! I'm thinking my deuce might be a little taller than the HEMTT.

I think your solution is to get another wrecker and not break that one until your broken one is fixed :ROFLMAO: Or find another wrecker owner near you to help out!

I think that's valid for anything bigger than a HMMWV. I've had to greatly expand my toolbox to accommodate my deuce. I'd love a HEMTT myself but I definitely need to move somewhere where it would be easy to work on. A big barn with a gantry crane would be ideal for me!

Thanks for the pictures! According to an internet search, the M35 and the LMTV are supposed to be around the same size, but the picture makes the LMTV look a lot taller! Maybe it's just the perspective messing with my eyes... Or are those bigger tires than 395s? That HET is huge though, no...

Does anyone have any pictures of an M35 next to an LMTV? I've seen mostly comparisons to 5-tons, but not the LMTV.

I finally got around to replacing my fuel filter today. For those of you unfamiliar with the M35A3, here are a couple pictures showing where the fuel filter is, the filter being yellow and toward the rear driver side of the motor, and the fuel/water separator valve being red and accessible...

I've done a little more research into fuel/water separators that won't drain. Apparently this problem is caused when the wax in diesel fuel congeals and blocks the drain passages. I can see this being an issue for this truck since it sat for a long time without being run. So I think the thing...
