They do not, but they also don't see the use an OTR truck ever will.
OTR trucks will do in a year far more than most M35A3's will do in a lifetime. I bet 90% of M35A3's out there never get close to 100,000 miles.
Hope the pictures are working now. Here are some more of the bikes in service:

The bikes are heavy at over 50 pounds, but ride really smoothly. They feature a really neat rear drum brake...
There were some shipped back, but it was a tiny percentage of those that left the country.

Since I got a Prime account and started looking I am amazed what a high percentage of parts I find on there at good prices.
There have been rumors of HMMWV sales and changes since the HMMWV hit military service.
Unless you hear it in writing from the DLA, it ain't gonna happen.
