Picking up my M35A2, need tool suggestions for trip

[Blackmagic94]

Ok Im flying out to buy a truck tomorrow out of Thousand Oaks from a fellow member, I am bringing my portable 150 pc tool kit but I doubt it will fit much on a deuce.


What is the size of the Lug Nuts on the wheels, and any other odd ball tools I should take that is not in that kit?

 

[R Racing]

1 1/2 inch lug size

 

[bigmike]

who did you buy it from? Polverone???

 

[Blackmagic94]

Yes sir



So the nuts are 1.5" SAE, **** is that a 1" drive

 

[scoutmanadam]

3/4 goes up to that size, at least my craftsman set does

I Found a old tire iron out of a school bus fit. Just a thought.

Make sure you have some type of breaker bar or atleast a pipe to slip over the end of a ratchet

You will also need the 3/4 inch square socket for the inner duels

 

[Blackmagic94]

Yes sir

Yes sir, Gary seems like a real nice guy.

How long is the trip?. An air hose might come in handy

 

[clinto]

Polverone is first class. He's an old school SS members, been around like all the old timers and knows his stuff. His advice will be good and he'll steer you straight.

518 miles from his place to my house.

Pretty sure this ain't it ! How many threads are you going to try this in ?

 

[RealCavDog]

Don't forget the camera ! Funny how many places you will see that make great "stretch your legs" photo ops, and then we all get to enjoy the ride !

Good luck and congratulations on your new purchase!

Took as many tools as I thought would be universally handy, fluids, and an air hose with accy's that had a gladhand end for use from the rear !

Forgot the 1.5 socket with a huge breaker bar, but got lucky when they were in the trucks toolbox ! You have a huge advantage buying from a trusted member, as opposed to a mystery auction truck !

You posted 12 hours before (you fly out) what tools you need for your recovery?

Did you ever get insurance?
