singles like on the M35A3 and M135? >>
The M35A3 and the M135 have different ideas and parts involved. Converting a
M35 to single wheels (which is a M34) is relatively easy, especially if you
are not concerned with "authenticity." Going the M35A3 route is another
matter.
To go M35 to M34 you remove and replace the wheels. The single wheels have a
different offset, and carry 1100x20 tires instead of the 900x20. Pull the
rear hubs, drive out the studs, turn hub over, install new studs (bigger) and
seals and reinstall the hubs "backwards" to their original position.
Parts needed 7 tires and wheels, 24 studs, 8 oil seals. While you are there
you may as well check over the brakes.
To do the complete conversion you would also need data plates and a small
part known as the bed, complete with bows, canvas and tailgate!
The M35A3 has a central tire inflation system, "super-single" tires,
different hubs and brake drums.
Why are you considering this?
Hope this helps and
Merry Christmas!!
