    M35A2 vs FMTV videos

    Interesting views, I thought they were supposed to be the coolest thing since sliced bread. But like anything you give them a few years to work out the bugs and they just might be. In my personal opinion the '70s era of trucks just seam like they are built tough as you can get. Good Videos Mike!

    That may be, I do not know much about them, but I can talk from experience that it does not take much to take any "crane" or "boom truck" off its wheels. I am just safety cautious thats all. When getting my Crane Cert. class we also saw many many videos of situations like that.

    I like how the boom is extended to the left at about a 90 degree angle, and the left side outriggers are not down. You can also see it listing to the left a bit. Great find! Glad to see it is still being used!

    Mike, I am glad that you did not go away empty handed. I heard that you also got a parking brake cable. I am sorry that you came all the way down for that. I should have known not to take peoples word on something like that. At least you got to see some of our area. Did Thane have his deuce down...

    Let's Discuss Ways to Increase Power Output

    More power, but keep it original............... BUY A 5 TON. Seriously though what ever you decide think of the things that it powers and how and what these trucks were engineered for.
