You are right, I was considering buying a deuce when I started this poll with the question "Which is better an M35A2 or M35A3"
A friend of mine bought an older A2 and between his original purchase of about 4K
and his current restoration he has about 14K into it by now but it is essentially a new...
1993 M35A3
NSN 2320013832047
Frame 222793L79n
Vin 502067

HQ 132 is painted on the inside of the hood.
Any history would be great!
Thanks,

Frame Number on a 1993 M35A3 ?
I found the frame number behind the drivers side front wheel
The number is 22 2793L 79n
I don't know how to read the number correctly.
I'm guessing the 79n may have been the year of the donor deuce that was used to make the A3.
There is no other number on that...
I finally found the link and it seems to be Cat® ELC™

They canceled my auction once were I won a boat ($7,000) two hours after I was notified that I won. They said someone complained that they couldn't get their bid in because they were having problems with their computer and they were going to run it again the next day. I told them I would not bid...
OK, what's wrong with a bus. I drove a stock A2 and it needed everything tires seats paint no power steering probably needs new wiring harness brakes master cylinder and on and on. I restored a M37 and a M151 and I know what is involved to get it right. The government already went completely...
That wrecker was in NEW CONDITION (Miles-671) and a once in a lifetime opportunity. The condition was listed as HX
"H = Material which has been determined to be unserviceable and does not meet repair criteria. X = Property has some value in excess of its basic material content, but repair or...
I still think they are good trucks you just have to make a few modifications if you want to stay with an automatic transmission, if not an A2 would be the way to go.
M35a3/ctis
The CTIS should be removed and wheel bearings replaced with early style bearings. That system has special wheel bearings that are $800.00 each. The tires are an odd size
and replacements are $1,500-$1,800.00 each. Should change to 14.5R20 tires or single 11.00R20 tires.
Allison
Would that be the Allison 1000 6-speed?
What model Allison does the M923 come with?
What other options for a replacement automatic are out there?
Real age of a M35A3?
Real age of a M35A3?
I realize that the A3s were made from older A2s but if they rebuilt a 1970 A2 and put a new Cat engine and a new transmission in the unit in 1983 how does that change the year of the vehicle from a 1970 to a 1983?
If I had a 1970 Ford car and did the...
From Hagerty's web site
Military vehicles
Older military vehicles are becoming increasingly popular among collectors. So Hagerty offers a program to cover military vehicles that are purchased as a collector vehicle. They must be 1974 or older (end of the Vietnam war), garaged and cannot be used...
M35A1 & A2 models
Got some more feed back from some one who seems to know!
"First of all the M35A3 models were originally M35A1 & A2 models that were
sent back to the factory for a service life extension program and rebuilt as
the M35A3. The two drawbacks to operating one are the CTIS and the...
I have a 1952 M37 with 57K miles on it. The previous owner used it as a daily driver for over 30 years.
I have gone over the truck completely over the course of two years and she is a great example of an Army truck of that time. I don't even like what Foose does to his cars, although beautifully...
