M35 a2

[Big Al UK]

HI IM new on here I live in the united kingdom and I have just acquired a 1958 M35 a2 which I have just started to restore, I am a member of a few military vehicle clubs over here and have been for a long time. I help out with a friend of mine who owns the only running valentine DD tank in the world also I help out in the work shops at Bovington tank museum. I have been recommended to join your forum and look forward to your advice and help with any questions I have and problems I am bound to come across with M35 a2 ownership.

WOW, that looks fantastic! Are the cab & cargo bed covers canvas, or vinyl? They look like canvas in the photo.

Very nice truck!!

Canvas I have a vinyl cargo cover and a spare canvas cab cover.

 

[silverstate55]

Very nice! That canvas will last you a good long time, and really looks the part. It's nice to have spares as well!

I got it from a private sale the previous owner had it for 13 years bought it from a dealer in the UK. Its has a brake master cylinder problem I have a new one on order, plans Im going to change all the fluids over the next few weeks then paint the underside to protect it from the elements of the winter in the uk . It needs new windscreens has there both cracked and some welding done on the cab drivers side, there is loads of small jobs to be done as well. I would like to trace its history I have been told that it served in Germany and it was the last m35 a2 to be released but this is not confirmed in the UK all military vehicles have a history card with them telling you were and who it served with and upgrades ect I don't know if this is done in the USA if so, if someone could give me a contact so I could request the history would be great. This is the first truck I have owned and looking forward to using it .
