The M35 Series got replaced by the FMTV and then got phased out pretty quick. The National Guard held onto them until they received their FMTV's. There truly are some nice, low usage trucks that are going to auction. Why did the govn't do this? It takes alot more staff, warehouse's, and parts to keep two truck lines going. The one that was nearly half a century old had to go. Remember, the A3's were built at the disposal of 3 M35A2's consumed to make 2 M35A3's. The A3's were an attempt to appease the EPA and meet emission's standard's using Commercial Off The Shelf technology. Another company sold the FMTV for about the same amount of money that it cost to upgrade and it came with new frames and sheetmetal. Thus the demise of the M35 from military use.
