I am 15, and I know lots of mechanics that can give me pointers, I also have my grandpa that worked on these in France during the era after the Korean War. I will be building it as a truck, do what is required of it, but not anything stupid. I don't want to hurt the truck by doing something...
Ok My full list of advantages or disadvantages
M35A2:
Advantages:
Small easy to maneuver
Parts are easy to find and install
Tough, hard to break the basic parts
Engine is multi-fuel
Lots of torque
Disadvantages:
Can't haul large loads
Slow
Gas mileage
Oil changes cost a ton
5-tons...

First off my uses for the truck (in no specific order):
To haul firewood
Help at my friends ranch...
Road flares? That is more of a personal choice, but if you ever go off-road and get stuck...god forbid in a bad situation... you will want them. They light easily, and can light other things on fire easily, and can give rescuers a good fix on your location. Also on a crash on the highway you can...
yea that could be it.

Later on they discovered it was a coating on the inside of the tank that allowed...
