My M35A2 whistler, video

[socom688]

So here's a bit on my deuce. It's an AM General M35A2. Exact details are unknown and it seems to be a Frankendeuce. Data plates say 1971 WO/W but it has an older style winch on it with no data plate of it's installation, it has the older style headlight housing that are reversed so the headlights would clear the winch, something a 71' wouldn't have (headlight housings are the ones with an electric horn cutout). The data plate containing the transmission info is from the old style trans where 4th and 5th gear are where they are in The standard config. It also has a Continental LD-465 that has been upgraded to a LDT-465 by the Army so yeah... It's an odd truck but I love it! I've had it since the beginning of this year.

Work so far: added troop seats, added mud flaps, deleted the muffler and returned exhaust to stock straight pipe, added heat shield, and swapped the D turbo for a C.

Work to do soon: fix the rust!, replace troop seat wood, fix broken gauges

Here's a video where you can really here the C turbo.

The truck wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for Rayzer so big shout out to him!

Hope y'all enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Whiskey, I didn't do the upgrade to the engine myself, that was courtesy of Uncle Sam. I did swap the D for a C though. I'll change that in my sig
