Sorry, I didn't do a write up over here. I got swamped at work and haven't had time. Basically I had talked Sermis and Pistolnut into helping me out. Sermis with his M35A2 W/Wn and a construction trailer behind it spent the day driving all over Texas to help me. Only to find that the previous owner had a bulldozer on the property. We got there, he pushed the Gasser up onto the trailer and we left. I drug it off the trailer with the M715 and it rolled real well. Then I tried to drag it forward last night and the right rear wheel wouldn't turn again. I have already stripped the needed parts off if it to get the other one running hopefully tonight. I will make a post about the entire thing once at least one of them makes noise.
I have had to name them so I can tell them apart. From now on, the M35 that I flat towed home with a newly rebuilt engine and gone over axles and brakes is going to be M35(R) for runner while the locked up but completely orginal down to every wire, hose and bolt under the hood M35 is going to be my M35(P) for parts. Of course, if I can't get M35(R) to run, I will have to modify this system a little. But I dont' think that will happen.
Since this thread is about body parts, I better ask some more body questions.
M35(R) has only the rear curved piece welded into the cab door openings. I thought this was a Gasser deal. But, M35(P) has the entire front and back curved piece like the multifuels. Any ideas on why this is. Both are 1951 or 1952 REO's?
