    Tire Sizes, A2/A3?

    Found a used tire place near us that has slightly used Military 12.50 x 20 Michelin's for $125 each. Is this the tire size on the M35A3? I assume that we would need the bigger A3 style rims if we went with these? We were actually looking for 11.00 x 20's to replace the 9.00 x 20's on one of...

    Our sister volunteer fire department we work and train with has been given a 5-ton 6x6 water tanker. While we have two 2.5 ton M35A2's, this will be their first military truck. The truck is supposed to be delivered soon, I was hoping I could post a picture and someone ID the model number...

    Non-Turbo to turbo

    We finally put a turbo on our non-turbo 1968 M35W/W. We mainly installed the turbo to cut down on the smoke as we had been getting a lot of complaints. It took 5 hours, we have a spare engine in our fire station we took the turbo hardware parts off of, including the "D" turbo it had. Question...

    1968 M35A2 W/W tranny problem

    We had a large grass fire yesterday and 2nd and 3rd gear in our M35A2 W/W stopped working, 1st, 4th, and 5th & Reverse work just fine. We were able to dump the water tank and limp it back to the fire station using the remaining gears and the low/high range. 2 years ago we swapped out the tranny...

    to Turbo, or not to Turbo?

    Got a pair of 1968 AM General M35A2's. The serial #'s on the trucks are 51 digits apart. One of them has a LDT-465-1C, the other one has a LD-465-1C. The truck with the turbo engine was rebuilt by the DoD in the 80's, I can find no rebuild stamps on the non-turbo deuce. Question: Is it...

    Firetruck Deuce Help
