The A2 5 ton went to a better home and now we have this deuce. I believe this is an early M35 truck. It is a winter project. Runs great, but the brakes aren't too good. Looks like the master cylinder is the issue. The park brake shoe rusted to the drum and also needs to be replaced. Are there and known vendors for new or rebuilt MC units or a rebuild kit and new park brake shoe? I have looked around, but the information is confusing about what parts fit on which trucks.
All the plates in the cab have been removed and there is just one plate on the outside of the cab with 5880 stamped on it. I have seen a few painted this color and they were noted as being forestry trucks at one point. Is this a forestry truck color? The fuel tank hangers are round rather than square and this looks like a modification someone made to it. Currently only runs with a small tank "securely" strapped to frame.
