Going to pick up my new to me m35A2 tomorrow

[Cinman37]

So I am going tomorrow to pick up a new to me duece it will be about a three hour drive to get it back home. I thought I have seen this truck on this website before but I can't remember which post. Does anyone here recognize it, it has a one of a kind paint job?

Tiger stripe is my favorite camo.

Nice and good luck on recovery

We just made it back home after our 150 mile journey in our new duuce. My wife accompanied me and it turned out to be a nice little trip. We had to take the interstate for approximately 75 miles, even though we were only going 50 mph @ 2100 rpm in a 70mph speed limit area we received a ton of waves and thumbs up from our fellow travelers. The other miles were nice quite twisty country roads some in middle WV and the rest in southwestern PA. The duece drove like a dream no shakes shimmies or wobbles and the multifuel engine ran smoothly but I have to say it was uncomfortably loud when it was taxed. All in all it was a successful recovery. We do have a small oil leak a drip or two after the truck is shutdown, the transmision and t case are suspected at this point. But I do not have any steam left in me today to crawl under there and properly diagnose the problem. Because I underestimated the importance of hearing protection I must take some advil to try and get rid of my headache. My wife was a bit more resourceful, during the first leg of our trip she fashioned some earplugs for herself from a clean rag that we had brung just in case. Ear muffs are a necessity while operating one of these trucks. But headache or not I am still happy with the way things turned out for us today.

Who did all that work to it before you got it?

I am not 100% sure but the truck was from nj

That truck looks like someone really cared about it. From the pictures, I think you got a good one!

 

[Cinman37]

Yes I am lucky to have found this one.

They all leak something

If they don't leak, their fluids have been drained. Congratulations on your new truck, your engine looks too clean for some reason. The exterior paint job is very unique, never seen one like that, but it looks good! Get some earplugs & keep them in the truck! Now go enjoy your truck!
