Thanks Chief! I was at my father in laws this weekend and sure enough there it was right below the rear spring hanger. :beer:

Thanks for taking time out of your day. Info is much appreciated!! M35A3 w/out winch a. 502707 b. reg #: unknown c. 2320013832047 d. Fort Bliss, TX e. bumper #: unknown

Thanks! That is EXACTLY where the A3 VIN was stamped. I will post that VIN on the VIN info thread for additional info. When you and Carnac run those VINs does it also say if and when the truck was rebuilt after 1993? Thanks again!

So will the bigger tires fit on a stock A3 without any problems?

Thanks. I shared this with my father in law. He was going to check it out tonight.

Thanks for the reply. This is actually my father in laws truck. I also have an A3 and I titled it using the 5xxxxx number it was assigned when it was transformed into an A3. He would like to do the same both to be accurate and in case he wants to sell in in the future. Is the new 5xxxxx...

Yes. Got it at a GL auction last month.

In an effort to get my SF-97 I need to determine the VIN # for my A3. I have read the many threads on here on were to find the VIN and have located a VIN on the frame on the drivers side in the front wheel. It took removing the paint as suggested in previous posts so thanks for the advice...

Carnac- My buddy purchased an M35A3 without winch and is having trouble verifying the VIN. After removing a couple layers of paint he found the following number stamped on the frame under the driver's side fender. G (possibly a 0??) G52520124 NSN: 2320013833850 Fort Bliss, TX Thanks so...

Looking for the year on my newly purchased M35A3 With Winch. Thanks in advance. a. Serial Number: 500464 b. Registration Number: ???? c. NSN: 2320013833850 d. Fort Bliss, TX e. Can't read bumper numbers

I have to agree with the benefits of switching...... I am two flushes into the conversion to NAPA Performance ATF fluid and the diff is significant. It shifts smother and drives much better. two more drains and a filter change are in my future.:beer:

For those who have switched to ATF for the tranny... What external filter did you use? Does the filter that it came from the army with, which is an oil filter also work with ATF fluid? Thanks

Did anyone ever locate a converter box to be able to run a 12v trailers lights and brakes?

Thanks for the insight. The 5 ton that pulled me out had now problem. He mentioned he preferred the 5 ton because of the weight and he felt it handled better in the sand. Sounds like they would both get the job done.

First let me say what an awesome forum and website you guys have here. I have been plowing through the postings and feel like I have recieved 2 years worth of education in 2 weeks. So my question is..... Which truck handles better in the sand, a 2 1/2 or a 5 ton truck? I pulled my camper...
