Hello and welcome to the site. The years are not as important as if it was rebuilt in the late 80s or early 90s. Soome features are beatter than others. An airshifted transfer instead of a sprag unit is nice. Multifuel turbo is better than an old gasser. Mainly because of the ability to burn different types of fuel. Most of them came with a drivers seat and a passenger bench and will seat three, you may need to add a seatbelt. You can find them here in the classifieds and on craigslist, The govt is still selling them off at govliqidation.com The best thing to look for on a bobber is making sure whoever bobbed it that they knew what they were doing.

Most important is to get on here and searc the site for info and consult the technical manuals to familiarize yourself with these beasts. They are unique creatures and require a lot of love.

Good luck.

I would check out Craigs List.. That's where I found mine, but look around in neighboring areas as well. Use the search function on the side type in "M35A2" or Deuce and a Half" that worked for me. But of course look on this site in the classifieds. Last resort.. Egay. Arrgghh can't stand that one but of course the most popular. In regards to seating three, you have the drivers seat and the bench seat, in airline standards that would seat three comfortably.

If you are ever as far east of as I am I would consider showing you mine since you are interested in a bobbed one.. NO I am not selling it..
