Thanks for the answers guys, much appreciated. Keep them coming.:driver: The truck does look pretty good. I wonder why they put in a 465 D turbo engine but didn't change the front axle? Cost probably...:?

Also would West Coast Mirrors be able to be fitted to this truck as I don't like the ones it has fitted? Thanks.

Hi SaddamsNightmare, Thanks for your input. I haven't looked at the truck yet, but it does seem to be in pretty good condition. The guy who owns it says he has had it checked over by two mechanics on contract to the US Army and they cannot fault it. With this Sprague axle. Are ALL axles on...

Thanks Maccus, I've emailed the guy for some more pictures of the engine bay, rear view, cargo area, underneath and of the gauges when on idle. What oil pressure range should the gauge show at idle Maccus? I'm led to believe that it should be about 60psi? Also would it be possible for a...

Hello guys. I'm looking at adding to the fleet and have seen this M35A2C for sale in the UK. The guy has said that its an ex USAF but for some reason he has marked it up as ex USMC? These are the main points, Stated year 1958. Hurcules LDT 465 1D Multifuel upgrade before release Rust free and...

Glad you have got the truck. I've also wanted a M35 for years and years, but ended up buying a Bedford MJ 4x4 with an electronic repair workshop body straight out of service. In fact my GF actually bought it and I've yet to pay her back ($9,678.25 at todays rate). I'm now looking for a deuce...

Cool, thanks guys for the replies. Yeah i would be interested in any photo's you have or information on this particular truck. So can you tell me what the designation would be for the Water Purification 2.5ton truck, and do you know how many were built? I think this one would have come from...

Hi. Does anyone know anything about the Water Purification 2.5ton 6x6? I've Googled it and had a look through one of my TM CD's but just can't find anything on it. How many were made? Is this a rare vehicle? What went in the back? Do the sides of the van slide out? What is the designation of...

Hi Bob, Nice to meet an ex squaddie on here!!:grin: All of the stuff came with the truck. They sold it with a complete CES. I've got a brand new 10 ton jack, new pick, shovel, fire ex, air line etc,etc. It had a new transfer box and fuel tank fitted 2 months before release, new front wheel...

Hi Scarecrow, Believe it or not, I haven't touched the truck. This is the condition it came out of the Army in!!! The truck was in a TA unit (National Guard) all of it's life and has only done 2,500 miles. The box was in a storage depot until about 2 years ago when it was issued to 9 Army Air...

Hi M813rc, Thanks for your positive comments. I suppose it's like any vehicle. US trucks are my favourite, but hard to get a nice one in the UK. I suppose it's the same for UK vehicles in the US. The reason I mentioned the air pressure drop is because when I got it, it held pressure above...

Yeah, the usual tinkering with a new vehicle. On my way down to Beltring I noticed the No 1 fuel injector was weeping where the fuel line enters the injector. 1/16th of a turn and that problem was sorted. I'm surprised you can't get any parts in Canada for your Reo??

Bit of an update on the truck. Since posting I've carpeted the box body to make more comfortable at shows and I've also made up a bed system that fits between the two work benches that run the length of the box. This makes a flat platform so a mattress can be used. I bought a couple of self...

Hi there. Thanks. No the sides do not open unfortunately. Have you seen any of these trucks in the States?

Thanks for the link to your website. Here is a link to a good website for the 434. I will have a dig around and see what i can find out for you. £2,500 is very cheap for a M35. My favorite is the M109A3, but I've never seen one in the UK. Second hand M35's sell for about £6,500 here and that's...

Hi there, You will NOT regret coming over for the War and Peace show. It's open to the public from Wednesday to Sunday, but lasts two weeks in effect as there are a lot of vehicles from all over Europe that come to the show and you can enter the site up to a week before the show starts. It's...

Thanks. Not sure on the make of gearbox, it might be a Spicer. It has 4 forward and 1 reverse gear with high and low ratios and selectable 2/4 wheel drive. No diff locks though:roll: Tyres are 12.00x20 Good Years.

Here are some pictures of my new Bedford MJ and Shop Electronic Repair Radar body. Just got her on the road and took it to it's first show, The War and Peace Show in Kent, England a few weeks ago. The truck is a 1986 and the box is 1977. The truck has 2100 miles on her and the box has 2 air con...

OH YES. Now that's what I'm talking about. Where do I get one, how much, put my name down!!! :shock: Right, this truck will do me. When i get to Canada I'm looking for a house with a garage big enough to store and work on my M35A2. Thanks guys. :wink:

Thanks very much for your reply Kyle. I can see your point about the trucks. But in reality I can't see them going through the hassle and all the paper trail of export just to get a truck into Iraq or Afghanistan. Also if they did they would be at risk of getting killed by their own side as...
