The deuce sits as it was surplussed out,It had the dropside bed and winch when it came from Ft Jackson(i'm guessing in the early 90s,last CARC paint was in 92). As for it being a factory built M35A2C w/winch,probably not.
According to David's article on Deuces in MVM, mine was built as a non winch cargo truck,then again I believe the earliest dropsides were built on 0125 chassis.

The markings on my truck when I got it were as followsWVMS,TDC FJ,which I'm told is Wheeled Vehicle Mechanics School,Tactical Doctrine Command,Fort Jackson. My M816 wrecker and the M553 GOER I had also had these markings, So evidently all 3 were possibly training aids for GIs learning to wrench on trucks.
