CARNAC has given me a 2002 year of manufacture for one of my M35A3 trucks. Maybe the "manufacture date" from the Army database is something like a put in service date instead.

My advice is to come see me in OKC and drive one of each so you can decide.

Plenty of trucks here in Oklahoma. Buy local and save the shipping!!!!!

Why not just use an existing system already engineered for the 5 tons? Take a look at M812 or M945 bridge truck.

Anything is possible. Here is dual 16R20 on 1 ton pickup!

Wow, truck looks good!

Here are some other pics of PLS compatible loads. You can find many ways to use that trailer with the right equipment!

Here is the "parade" flatrack I use. It is basic M1077 flatrack and I added some lightweight railing at about 3'.

Those M1076 trailers are really sweet. I would suggest you look into getting a M1077 flatrack which you can use as a standard flatbed or you can also secure 20' containers on. You can also get a dump module for the trailer. With your M984 you could actually use it to haul and dump 20 yards of...

Yes, the overalll driveshaft length needed to be 97" so a carrier bearing was hung from an existing cross member at 43" from transfer.

The gears are the same, but the vehicle weight is a little less with a tractor. I know my M818 ran very well (about 60 mph) with 395 tires and a little less loaded.

I definitely do not recommend large tires on a 5 ton if you are going to be pulling any load at all. I know a (stock) M813 with 14R20s can barely make 50 mph with a decent load. I recommend you read post #2 and post #10 in this thread...

Thanks for the compliments, I'm anxious to see how well it performs. :jumpin: It didn't happen without a lot of input/advice from many trusted advisors on here. Also, Jondale was the primary fabricator that made it happen. Props up to him! [thumbzup]

With the high cost and short life span of a 1 ton 4x4, it was time to modifiy a M35A3 for serious ranch work. This truck has a 3000# cake/cube feeder and a hydraulic hay bed for loading and unrolling round hay bales. Rear locker, front hubs, and 100amp battery equalizer were also added.

Yes, the M939A1 or A2 wheels are also a great option, but just hard to find for a reasonable price. I have been running FMTV wheels on my 5 tons and M915A1s with the standard 395/85R20 tires for several years. Improved road speed, off-road capability, with no major impact to power! I sell a...

Since the HEMTT wheels are so thick, you might also consider FMTV wheels. Bolt right on, no modifications necessary.
