Long time listener first time caller..... wait that's not right.Been reading this forum for a few years now but never signed up, did it a while back simply to use the search for something I was curious about(talk about a disappointment). I've been on other automotive forums for years now just never really felt the need to join this one. Well that has changed. Why you ask? If you are still reading at this point I will tell you about myself and my plans for the future.Always been the kind of guy who enjoys working on things and have been fortunate enough to turn winches on quit a few different kinds of vehicles and equipment in my 37 years. I've spent a great deal of my time doing the 4x4 and jeep thing, was involved in offroad racing for a bit on the crew and crewchief side and have broken just about every part you can break on a jeep and have done it in a large portion of the good oll U.S. of A. I have gotten to the point in my life where dragging my jeep or someone else's race rig across the country at a high rate of speed to spend the weekend wheeling and or turning wrenches (while spending large piles of cash) just isn't as fun as it used to be. Don't hardly do it anymore and now I have decided on a change of pace and want a new vehicle to work on. (Finely getting to my point here, still with me?)Every since I was a little kid I have been in love with M35s, always said I was going to have one one day but the few I have went to look at over the years were junk and not woth fooling with. It's finally time to scratch that itch and give myself something to dive into. I am now on the lookout for an early multifueled M35a2 that is in decent enough shape but does not have to be anywere near perfect. I plan on striping it down and redoing everything that I can get parts for. Hopefully that will keep me busy for a year or so. I have spent most of my adult life keeping a couple of drilling rigs with parts built in the 40's and 50's going and really love working on old iron. My goal is to completely rebuild a truck and then collect enough spare parts to do it again at least one more time. If I make it another 50 years I want to be that old man who drives up in a 100 year old truck while everyone else has their cars drive them around. All that being said, Hello from the Piney Woods of Deep East Texas.
Sell the ammo boxes. Keep the truck
