Vehicle Description
1969 M35A2 deuce and a half. (manufactured by Jeep Kiaser) My truck
has all the good stuff. I bought it from a surplus dealer, so it
isn't a gov. auction with missing pieces etc. It has a power
steering set up, (from a humvee) that I had installed by the same
dealer. I later made a custom bracket for it, as well as a
tensioning system when I replaced the OEM alternator with a
Wolverine alternator. (its awesome) I also made a few changes that
where recommended on a few forums. I installed a muffler. You can
see it in the pictures. And I changed the electronic temp gauge to
a mechanical gauge. (these are more accurate and in the event that
you don't have electrical power, you will still have a functional
gauge.) The engine is a White multifuel. 5 speed transmission,
Rockwell, and the axles are all Rockwell. Whistler Turbo. Also has
the cabin heater, PTO winch. (worth 6 to 8k by itself) Oil and fuel
filters are screw on, not the original pain in the ass canister
filters. I haven't had to do much for her. I replaced the fuel
pump, the alternator, and the batteries. other then that, just oil
changes, radiator coolant changes, and lube. I made the tarp bows.
those are laminated maple. when i bought her she had 10k miles. I
have a little over 12k now. I don't know how accurate the original
hours are. Rear axles always drive. and can be switched to 6 wheel
drive in the cab. Tires and wheels are all OEM. Tire tread is
probably 70% or so. the vehicle ID shows a build year of 1969. that
generally doesn't mean much for a deuce because the parts are the
same for every truck from 1949 to the late 80s. So you could have a
tag from one year and many parts from other years. however, the
engine and cab numbers, and a few others, if i recall, match. which
is cool. there are no liens and no title. I have a transferable
registration. (NY doesn't give you title for vehicles that are
older then 20 or 25 years or something like that. Just transferable
registration.
