On page 8 of James Lyles' Vietnam gun truck book The Hard Ride, he states that they based the 2.5t gun-trucks on all the M35 versions including the M35A2C drop-side vehicles, so it is accurate!

Congrats on a great project. A buddy of mine, Quonsethut, has built a gun truck and did a splendid job. It is very popular at shows. We did an airshow last week and it was cool having that truck in my mirror for an hour on the convoy back to Austin.
We are looking forward to displaying his truck and my V100 side by side.

Cheers
