    Buying a M35A2 or M35A3?

    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...

    Questions about insuring a 1987 AM General (Harder to get insured)

    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.

    Questions about insuring a 1987 AM General (Harder to get insured)

    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.

    Questions about insuring a 1987 AM General (Harder to get insured)

    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...

    Buying a M35A2 or M35A3?

    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.

    Should I buy this M37?

    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...
