From the factory, late model M35A2 trucks, many of which were from an USAF contract, have a split brake system (2 air packs). Their year of manufacture is between very late 1985 and 1987. A hint is the blue warranty sticker on the dash. Trucks rebuilt into M35A3 trucks also have a split brake...

So did I.

Not to stir you up or anything, but many people actively look for an A3 with all the goodies. You may want to have a good, long look at what the resale value of a cherry A3 is. Then consider selling the A3 and getting a spick and span 5-ton, 900 series truck, with winch and true power steering...

Since you did ask - NOPE! Fix that red abomination with the silver hub.

Horn activates via switched ground. It is permanently hot. One common cause is insulation defect of the horn wire where it exits the steering column, top or bottom. There should be a rubber plug in the bottom end to prevent this.

When I did mine, I followed the suggestion to not remove the seal housing/carrier and instead pull the seal out with a puller, then check the shaft for play (if there is, you are looking at further disassembly and fixing the pinion bearing), followed by tapping the new seal into place (I used a...

I am relieved that it is not only me who can entertain himself for a looong time doing doughnuts in a truck..... I only get the chance if there is snow on the ground when I put her away for winter storage.

Looks complete; hardtop...nice. The guys in "The Old Deuce" forum may be better suited to help you out. It is the discerning multifuel and cat crowd here :-)

Your pictures don't work. The tires will probably be ok for now, while you check out the truck and it is not being driven on public roads. They are, from your description, at least 13 years old and you did not mention whether or not the truck was on jack stands or sitting on the tires - even...
