Yes, but without the "Gold Comet" on the manifold.

@m1010plowboy It sounds exactly like an old sewing machine. The engine plate shows it got a full overhaul in 1971 at a maintenance plant in SC as far as I can read it. The manifold does not have Gold Comet on it, so I think it is a Continental.

Thank you for your time to respond to my questions. I am very grateful.

@NDT I looked more closely the number is 120306, but I will keep looking for other numbers.

I have browsed through TM9-2320-209-20-2 and TM9-2320-209-10-1, but I did not find the recommended engine oil for the OA331. Which TM has the lube info for the OA331?

I found a thread by CARNAC that explains the process to get info via FOIA. It seems that is the way it has to be done now.

@NDT The number on the frame is I see is L20306. I looked but did not find the VIN thread. Can you point me to it? @G744 The entire air system has been removed. The hydrovac booster may be stuck and making it require the leg workout to stop the truck.

Thank you. I updated the title. I was told it was an AM General and I believed that.

Thanks, from what I understand the gearbox has 5th as the 1:1 gear.

Yes it is a 12v system now.

20,000 miles on the odo. Was told it was used by a hunting lodge for a few years to clean and move carcasses back to the lodge. It has been parked for a few years since then. There is still a gov auction sticker on it with a barcode. Not sure if that is useful or not. The Zeligson conversion...

@m1010plowboy Thanks for the info. Looks like M35 parts are still out there. I am curious about the brake system, Most M35s I find online have two air tanks, but this one just has a little canister where the larger tanks would be.

The A2 5 ton went to a better home and now we have this deuce. I believe this is an early M35 truck. It is a winter project. Runs great, but the brakes aren't too good. Looks like the master cylinder is the issue. The park brake shoe rusted to the drum and also needs to be replaced. Are there...

I am looking for some photos on how people have built mounts for a snow plow (13') . The bumper/frame rail area is fairly easy. Mainly looking for examples of the lower mounting points. I only found one example searching. Thanks in advance.

No idea. Looks like 2.5". I read they only made 600 of these cabs. Not sure if that is true though.
