I added emphasisDDoyle said:The sequence, with respect to the M35-type ?LONG?wheel base, dual rear wheels), conventional bed, was:
M35
M35A1
M35A2
M35A3 (no new builds, all rebuilds)
Note that the "A" suffixes vary with basic body type - a M109A3 won't have the same mechanical characteristics as a M35A3.
Hope this helps,

Nope Joel, I meant long wheel base - almost everyone gets this wrong. According to the Army, Reo and AM General - the M35 etc. are long wheel base trucks. The M36-series are termed by the same sources as extra-long wheelbase - while short wheel base trucks include some dumps, some tractors, and some bolster trucks.BFR said:I added emphasisDDoyle said:The sequence, with respect to the M35-type ?LONG?wheel base, dual rear wheels), conventional bed, was:
