When I converted mine to a dump, I had to move the bumperettes down 3" to keep from bending them and I moved the bed back one inch to clear the pintle hook.
It looks like I have to call Mrs Battles and postpone my trip to AL. A pinched nerve in my upper back that I've been trying to get over for 2 months, decided to take 2 steps backward this week. Went back to the chiropractor this morning. Man I'm sick of this thing. I'll keep you updated.
Thanks guys. If I can get it running with some brakes, I can leave it at my son's in Calhoun Ga, about 60 miles. This is an International M62, does anyone know if the brake parts (hydrovac and M/C) would be the same as a multifuel deuce? I'm assuming its not air brakes.
Well, I've given you guys some time. If you want the yellow wrecker, now's your time. If it isn't sold by Friday, I plan to be in Leesburg AL Sat morning the 12th. I talked to Mrs Battles and told her what my plans are. I don`t really need the truck(I do want it) but I couldn't sit by and see it...
GSA listed some in Medon TN today. Some of them look rough, but some are really great trucks. I have 2 I bought from GSA, my red deuce with 3300 miles in excellent condition, and my 86 M35A2C I bought in GA and drove 200 miles home without doing anything to it. Paid total cost less than $2000.00...
vin
This is pretty much all the info I have. I've only owned one older truck , a 1962 Studebaker M35A1. Kaiser seemed to be pretty consistent with the yearly Vin change. When AM G began the production they evidently continued on with the 05. AM G doesn't seem to follow a yearly designation, but...
that vin 0525 would indicate a 1970 M35A2 regular bed, probably AM general. It might be 71 0r 72 as AM G seemed to use the first 2 letters over several years. I have a 77 thats 06 and a 86 that`s 09.
0125 should be a 1966 or early 1967. The 36424 being a high number would seem to be a 67. But even that can be hard to tell, sometimes. I have a 66 M45A2 that was built by Kaiser in 66, but Ward Lafrance didn't finish the fire body and deliver the truck until 1968.
On a 0539 truck I don't know...
I don't know what upgrades they did. I assume they repaired everything that was needed. The original bed could have been damaged and replaced at any point.
