Nov 29, 2011 · Dear m35 enthusiasts, After some research I have decided that a bobbed m35 is the right truck for my needs. I'd like to express my needs and explain my logic and see if others agree that I have made the right decision. My needs: 1. Normal everyday pickup truck use. i.e. Moving heavy or bulky items from point a to point b. 2. Family recreation.

Feb 26, 2008 · My 2 cents, cut the frame in front of the rear pintle side braces and put back together with bracing. I don't know how much to cut out if you are using a m105 bed, but if you use a Deuce bed and take out 1 section of bed it is exactly 3 ft.

I had it built at Boyce Equipment, and while they did an outstanding job, I've had troubles with the turn signals and flashers since I got it back. I just don't drive it most of the time so it's not a huge issue hazards on, RR does not flash

Dec 15, 2014 · When I converted my bobbed M35 to a dump I installed a 12V hoist pump (on one battery) since I could not find a 24V pump at the time. (the pump was included in the kit) I have had pretty good luck with it but when I am busy moving dirt I run the one battery down and have started charging the battery while I am loading with a 120V battery charger.

Jun 15, 2008 · I am thinking about getting an M35, but can't decide whether I should get a bobbed deuce or just a 6X6 w/ singles in the rear. I like the large tire look. I may be hard to find a bobbed truck up here in NY and I don't have the skills/ tools to do this myself. What is …

Feb 5, 2011 · Alright so I have finally secured heated shop space to bob my truck. (m35a2) I have my wheels and tires set to go on and I have all the equipment and skills necessary to complete the job. What I don't have are parts. I have a couple options I …

Jun 4, 2011 · I am brand new to this site and I have a few questions specifically about "Bobbed" M35A2's 1. Do I need to have a CDL (A or B) to drive a bobbed deuce in CA?
