    New M35A2 owner from CT!

    Thanks! Original was wo/w, but it looks like it was added at the depot where it spent its life, not the private owner. The data plate on the hard top looks like mil supply chain and is dated 1997, and the winch looks distinctly older. The winch data plate on the dash also looks nearly as old as...

    Just checked the fluids bin that I’m packing. A couple pints each of DOT 3 and DOT4 (yeah I know irrelevant on this mission) but no DOT 5. Fortunately on my scouting run I found about 15 truck stops/rv dealers/auto parts stores in the few miles around pickup. I’ll grab a couple 5’s on the way in.

    I keep stealing mine from the garage for cooking. Turns out it’s pretty good at baking temps too. Probably time for a second one. Maybe even worth separating the grease types...

    Thanks! The full running package with winch was too good to pass up. My 12 year old son sent me the listing and I found myself in front of the truck 36 hours after it was posted.

    Hi All, Thanks for having me, looking forward to learning from the experts here! I checked out a 1970 AM General M35A2 deuce from a private seller near Allentown, PA in person last week and drove it around for 10 minutes. Absolutely fell in love with her, warts and all. I spent a month driving...
