Kenny,
Sounds Nice. I exchanged a couple of emails with John and I think it's a
really neat Idea,. Just for grins I searched collector car trader to see
what was nearby me. It just so happens the only M35 close by is in Fort
Myers that has already been cut down.

for me are probably more distant than yours though. I figure you are in
Florida so, you might be interested. I have another project I am bringing
home in a couple of weeks. I am purchasing an old Mercedes from a friend of
a friend for $500 for further Vegteble oil Fuel experimentation.

I have plans (distant) to build a similar truck to the ones John Tennis is
building. I have the entire rear suspension out of the M146 trailer I just
bought and its really neat. It has floating leaves and control arms. My 2
big differences is that mine will have duals in the back with 11.00X20 tires
and i'm cutting down a deuce bed and top to 9'. It will resemble the WW2 ton
and a half chevy. The deuce bed had 5 pockets along the side and removing
exactly 3'
will put it at 4 pockets. It should have a very balanced look. Spare tire
can still be in place and the pioneer tool rack too! I may relocate both to
the bed and add a second fuel tank. I haven't checked to see where the rear
height will be but if it's too high I may raise the front a bit. Lots of
thought but I'll not be starting this until my pipeline truck is up &
running.
