Thank you for that info, and yes we live in the best state EVER! (The end is sarcasm FYI)

No, life has happened and things have been put on the back burner. Such as buying a truck.

that is my debacle as well, the 5 tons have good sides, and so do deuces. thank you for your input

I meant as in lots of volume, what i would be hauling would be more voluminous than heavy. Firewood doesn't weigh a lot, but it takes up a lot of space unless you spend time meticulously putting it in place.

Decided to remove the M36 from the running, decided over-night that it was to big and bulky for what i will be doing for the most part. Looking at a M35, M54, M926, or M813 now. Reasoning behind removing the M36 was that it is way to big and much rarer, thus costing more and making storage harder.

If only it wasn't California.... Using this I calculated that registering it as an off-highway vehicle costs ~$200, as an automobile (that has got to be horribly wrong, but it was either that or commercial) it cost ~$280, and commercial cost ~$760 (what i did the first time before getting the...

I am 15, and I know lots of mechanics that can give me pointers, I also have my grandpa that worked on these in France during the era after the Korean War. I will be building it as a truck, do what is required of it, but not anything stupid. I don't want to hurt the truck by doing something...

Ok, so the main thing i see going for the M35 is the size, and the fact that it gets most jobs done perfectly. M36 has the larger bed for if you need it, otherwise it is a hindrance. 5-tons have their engines and heavy load capability going for them, but again size is a hindrance. But they all...

That first point was a whim for me, Maybe the M36 will work? Maybe it's to big? Maybe it is perfect?, to many "maybes". Just put it in for consideration. M35 was my fav out of them due to size, it being the smallest. That would let me put it at my house if need be. Welcome to California...

M35A2, or a 5-ton For First Build? Disclaimer: I am not looking at a specific truck at this time, but am considering what i should buy. Also Warning, incoming Wall'o text, you have been warned First off my uses for the truck (in no specific order): To haul firewood Help at my friends ranch...
