It was a great trip all and all and the truck performed great. I have never taken the truck on such a long trip before and had some conserns if it would make it there and back with out any mechinacal brake downs and if I would have to get a loan from the bank to pay for the fuel LOL. The best...

Thanks for the kind words. The truck still has the automatic, but would shift down into second gear on the long steep hills. The truck won in the motor pool class at the MVPA convention so that was my reward for the long trip.

As the title says my M135 made the round trip from Onoway Alberta to the MVPA meet in Portland and back again. I made the whole trip with no brakedowns of any kind. The only real part of the trip that seemed to take forever was going from Kamloops to Vancouver and back as driving through the...

Hello Butch, I have not got around to installing the hood blanket yet but when I do I will post a picture of it. Dave

This is a coolant heater made by PERFECTION STOVE COMPANY and yes the alcohol evaporator is origional equipment. If all goes well I will be driving this truck to the MVPA convention next month in portland ( 1600 mile road trip).

Hello to all. I thought I would post some pictures of my M135 in which I just installed the power plant heater kit I purchased from Butch Atkins about a year ago. I just had my cylinder head repaired with new stelite hardened seats as I had 5 out of the 6 exhaust valves pounded into the...

As a movie truck this one has had a pretty good life compared to alot of military vehicles as I know the person that uses them for his buisness. I plan to go back to the dual rear wheels as I like them alot and hope to get one of the Canadian MLVW's in the future and aready have had some service...

The tires that are on it now were the origional tires that came on the MLVW's (our Canadian M35's) untill they changed them over around 2000 for the radials and the combat rims.

No cleb this truck was not from IMS, it came from another outfit that does rentals as well. I believe that there 3 outfits in the Vancouver area that rent out military vehicles and equipment to the movies.

I just brought my first M35A2 back from BC about a 650 mile trip and it was a lot of fun. This truck was used as a movie rental truck and was in the Movie SHOOTER with mark walburg and an upcoming movie I believed is called the Watchman.

Thanks Devilman96 I will be in touch with my parts needs.

Thanks. This truck was usd in filming of the movie Shooter with Mark Walburg and an up and comming movie I believe that is going to be called the Watchman. And HOMESICK I guess we will have a bit of a bidding war on the hiab MLVW unless there are a few of them for sale.

M35A2 AM GENERAL

I am in the need of some knuckle boots for my truck and wanted to know where is a good place to get them, and if they will ship to Canada. I have heard of the two types of the boot, the one piece and the two piece. Is there any difference between the two as to there quality? is there any I...

Well I made it home from Vancouer BC yesterday with the truck. Overall it was a great 600 mile trip with a few exceptions of some A Hole truckers. It took a little getting use to the shift patern of the M35 but I have the swing of it now. I have a few leaks to take care of then I will have to...

Have you tried cariboo 6X6 in kersley BC at 250-747-3972 as he has them for sale.

Thanks for all the kind coments.neilhendrix I have looked at that post and if was closer to me I would have bought it for sure.Our Canadian M35s (MLW's) when the forces went looking for the replacement for the ageing M135 fleet they took the US m35 and I guess you could say up graded it with the...

Also I thought I would show a picture of the power steering box that is used on the trucks.

That seems to be the canadian way as we do not have a large buget to work with the units stay in service a lot longer aroun the 25 year mark. The trucks also have the drop sides and use a V8 diesel engine.

Yes I hope to find a winch from a fellow member for around the $1000.00 mark before looking for one at the dealers. I am keeping an eye on a MLVW heer at our local base as within the next couple of years they will be getting a replacement for the MLVW (Canadian M35's). The truck is a recme unit...
