Both of the sites I posted offer pinion disk brakes for M-35's. They are
disk brakes that mount on the free end of the driveshaft after it passes
through the drop box to the differential. They are cable pull and are
designed as parking brakes.
I am very interested in developing a dual circuit brake system for the
deuces, both the M35's and the M211's. Do you have any more ideas?

I contacted Boyce Equipment and they have a bolt-on disk brake kit for 5
tons and deuces. The 5t was $580, complete. They claim you don't need
air boosted hydraulics to actuate them. A Chevy master cylinder will do
it. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm considering installing one,
as an emergency brake backup system. These military trucks only have one
brake system, and if you break a line anywhere, you have no hydraulic
pressure anywhere. The parking brakes are too pathetic to be used to
stop the vehicle. Interestingly, while I was crawling around undeneath
Craig Rosner's halftrack, I looked at his parking brake on the
driveline, and it was a bona fide disk brake system! Beefy, too. Why on
earth the mil ever went away from that is a mystery to me. Jim
