I had the same problem with my alternator. I would pull it off, (the top half) and inspect the brushes and any capacitors that may look burned or damaged. You can also get a new top half from Eriks Surplus in Escondido. (and they have new brushes for cheap. Try that before you go spend 400+ on a...
Yes, I am aware of the liability issues at hand, its to bad our society has come to this. I dont plan on doing this on a regular basis, but if I had to for some reason, id like to at least know the laws regarding it. One instance is during christmas time, our local neighborhood goes crazy with...
I have read through the forums about various seatbelt laws for older vehicles, but none seem to be clear cut. I would like to haul some people in the back of the deuce, and not sure if seatbelts are required here in CA. The only loophole that I can think of is that this truck was originally...
Does the CARC paint contain led? I was thinking of doing small parts off the truck in my backyard, then taking the truck somewhere to have it professionally done. Also are supplied air respirators a must when sandblasting? A good 3m full filter mask wont work?

Lonegunmann,
Thanks for your reply, definitely going to look for an A3, there are 2 coming up next week in Utah. Going to try to get one of those if budget permits. I will let you all know how it goes,
Thanks

Mark,
Thanks for your reply, yes, I guess a visual inspection is better than no inspection at all, How far do you live from Clearfield? The one im considering bidding on is coming up in about a week and a half.

So I currently own a 68 M35a2, and I am seriously considering a M35A3 from Utah. I live in So california and cannot get up there to view the truck. I am not concerned with the air system, leaking wheel cylinders, etc. (small stuff). I am concerned with the Cat Diesel and the Allison Trans and...
