Jack's Gov Surplus in Tucson, AZ has at least 100 M35A2'a and many M109A3's, (M185A2's as well) probably 20.
520-574-0300. Just spoke to him last month and visited him last Nov, still buying and selling.
The round hose holders on the drivers side of the tank are actually for the large diameter, large nozzle hose. Much higher velocity flow than smaller hose and nozzle that connects inside the rear compartment. This hose is used for dispensing fuel. My hose and nozzle are on the other side intact...
So your title got my interest, a complete M49a2c is really rather rare. Here's a very recent picture of my 1985 M49a2c & 1968 ENG-3. M49a2c is complete and operational. Has all its hoses and nozzles, including the hard hoses for sucking out of a tank.
It's been a few years since I bought them, I did verify they were correct, it was the correct NSN, they are unique to the M756A2. Yes, they were NOS with tags. The seller had several sets, I let Chris know and he bought a set for his dad's M756A2. This was before you had your truck (I believe)...
I still have my M756A2. Still in the same condition as in the pictures from 2009. Found original boom chains on ebay about 6 years ago. I too will not ship my trunnion anywhere. I've reduced my collection to the following:
1967 M756A2
1970 M35A2 w/w
1965 M35A2
1965 M109A3
1985 M49A2c
1968...
I haven't posted in a while, that was "tongue in cheek". Beltfed on ebay for pumps. I've had more problems with in tank pumps over the years than IP's.
