I prefer SS, but there is E-Bay, and a load of other sellers on the internet under M35A2, M35A3, or military truck sales.
I bought ny first MV from e-bay , but if you have a nearby GL military base where you can actually preview the vehicle you may get a better price but a lot mnore work.
Zout, the patient compartment heater was a chore. Had to make the muffler, mounting base, and exhaust pipe. Had to run fuel line from heater fuel pump to gas tank and wired in a control box and themostat.
I used a 24 volt drop down circuit board to reduce the voltage to 12 VDC for the...

But, I do have to say that the loss of the TM's availability to upload new manuals as well as download them is a big set back.
I hope we can get that link back up.
So I am going to donate some $ to the site to help...
THANK YOU TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER !
