Hi everyone, this is my first post to Steel Soldiers. I have been reading the posts from this site for years now and really wanted to get my own truck. Finally I was able to buy my first M35A2 just last June. I wasn't able to drive it home since I had just underwent spinal fusion surgery but I got my good buddy who is also a ASE master mechanic to drive it for me. He said it drove like a dream and only had one problem which was shifting the gears. He had never driven anything with that gear pattern before ! Now months later I'm feeling better and decided to check out my new truck ( read toy ) !
I have been told and have read on Wiki that the last year the M35A2 was built was 1987 . So why does my registration from GL say 1989 and my engine data plate say
1989 ( LDT 465 1D ) and my Diffs say 1988 ?
The truck has a cab heater and dual brake boosters. I didn't know they came with dual boosters and cab heaters.
Was this some sort of refurbished rig ?
Some nice things it also came with was a hydraulic jack, an air hose and fill chuck with gauge, a first aid kit (mostly bandage wraps) , and a wheel lug wrench !
So can any of you MV scholars tell me what year this truck really is ?
Thanks, rustystud.
