Hello all,

I've been lurking here for sometime now hoping to join the ranks of the Military Vehicle owners. It finally happened last weekend. I broke down and bought a M35a3. I bought the truck from Andy in Owatonna, who by the way, is a very friendly and knowledgable guy. There is a few things that need to be done to it before I bring it home but, it should be done in the next week. Here are a few pictures.

Welcome and nice looking a3.

I am partial to the tan/desert scheme being from sage brush & tumble weed country.

Did all the stuff to the left of the truck, in pic#3, come with your new purchase?

Thanks quarkz. I like the desert tan myself and was very happy that it was when I seen it. That really sold me on the truck. Unfortunately nothing else in the pictures other than the truck is mine.

Congratz on the truck.

I'm partial to the Tan also.

Welcome to the site,

Me personally I am not fond of the A3's, and that one does not look bad.

You picked a good guy to deal with, I bought mine from him last Sept. And can not wait til I can get more money to sent his way.

Welcome to SS.

Thank you. I've learned quite a bit from everyone here and it helps that my best friend was around these trucks for 21 years and bought his own last may. Looking forward to meeting a few of you and learning more.

Welcome to the site! Great hobby and the members here are all great to chat with about the "Green Fever". You can bring the truck to Montana and I'd be happy to take it off your hands!

Looks good

What made you go with an A3 rather than an A2? I got my A2 from Andy and really enjoy it.

Green Fever? but it's tan. Just Kidding. If that is your place in your avatar, I would be more than happy to give it to you if I could live there with free room and board.

Well, I like the a3's and because I'm on the tall side at 6'10" I really needed an automatic, powersteering, and the smaller steering wheel was an added extra that I didn't know they came with.

Hey, I recognize that shed . Nice looking truck, good to see some more members up here in MN. Now time for a MN SS rally...........

The west Texas Detachment of the Steel Soldiers welcomes you (and your fine lookin' truck) aboard Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway.

Looks like you've already jumped in with both feet with that A3. Best of fortune with it.
