No problem on the hijacking - This is, in part, a firetruck recovery.Our 1968 M35A2 WO/W has a 1236-gallon poly tank, but our 1968 M35A2 W/W has a 500-gallon tank. The 1236-gallon tank was ordered before I was Chief. They measured the steel tank that was on our since retired 1967 M35, not knowing how many gallons it really was.
The "heavy" deuce has served us well, but If I were to do it over again, it would have a smaller tank. Our guys like being able to go out in the fields and not have to come back for water as often as the other trucks. One of our sister departments used to have a M35A2 with a 2000-gallon tank, it's since retired, the tranny from that truck is now in our M35 W/W.
USAFSS-ColdWarrior, didn't mean to hijack your thread, maybe we need another firefighter deuce thread.
BTW: I love the "front porch with a seaside view" you've got on that rig.
Thanks for sharing.
