First Deuce M35A2

[hilber]

Picked this up in Huntsville Al about a month ago. 7 hour drive home went uneventful. I guess pretty good for a 280 mile trip. It has 21,XXX miles and about 700 hrs on the gauges. Little rust and a couple minor leaks. I drive it twice a week around Homer and the outlets at Commerce. Trying to keep it form sitting, soaking and souring. It is a pleasure to look down on the little boys in their little toys.( the lifted 4 Wheel Drives). I have someone already saving WMO and am also looking around for WVO. Also have the promise of a biodiesel outfit if we can come to terms on the price. Like my CUCV M1009 it will have to wait until next year for anything major other than PM and playing.

HOPING TO PICK UP A COVER FOR CARGO AREA AND SPARE TIRE AT GA RALLY. I ALSO THINK SOME PARTS ARE MISSING FROM THE CARRIER.

Nice ride. Sounds like you got a good one.

 

[Big Z]

Looks good! Other than the mirrors

 

[kc4wd]

Nice looking truck!

 

[Akicita]

You did well on that trip to bring her home. I had to take a break to rest my backside after about 3 hours. Total trip was about 5 hours including that break and one stop to fuel up.

Picture: 1st fuel stop on my first trip

[F18hornetM]

Nice winch truck

All you need for the tire carries is a cable (1/4"?) and a plate with two holes to fit two bolts in the lug holes. You're missing the pioneer tool rack, which should be easy to find with the tools. And good deals on covers pop up often. Nice truck, is it a turbo?

 

[hilber]

Nope not a turbo. Thanks guys on the complimetns. I am really enjoying it.

Yeah, I don't know about. seems as if most are different. I know I can't see chit out of them.

I did stop a few times. Wife was leading and she has to potty all the time. LOL

Maybe somebody in the classifieds will sell the brackets cheap and you can get new mirror heads & spot mirrors. Food for thought... I tend to believe that good BIG mirrors are absolutely necessary for safely driving trucks. But I don't know nothin...

 

[JAYHAWK 1962]

Agreed with the mirrors. enjoy the truck.

You probably know more than you are admitting. I totally agree on the mirror thingie. I have driven OTR before when I was between pastoring Churches. I am not too proud to do anything legal to feed my family.

 

[hilber]

Agreed with the mirrors. enjoy the truck.

Thanks. Now all I need is some time and more money.

Its a nice looking truck. You can buy the long mirrors cheap and fab up brackets that come off the windshield frame. Is not expensive and looks good too.
