navy m35a2c

[m715]

It is still not clear to me how this truck can be a m35a2c .

 

[doghead]

It is not as it is pictured, the C would indicate it has a drop side bed.

Someone could have swapped the bed at some point.

Also it's possible that an m35a2c data tag was all they had when they changed it.

I am working with the seller to title this truck. From the data plate can anyone tell me who and what year this was made? I think this is a 1967 Kaiser jeep by searching vin # posted here. Also the vin is on the drivers side frame on these older trucks? Does the navy door number help in any as far as year?

 

[doghead]

I'd go with 1967.

 

[m715]

I can see some swapping the bed, and can understand maybe they ran out o m35a2 plates. however I don't see a non turbo motor with rear exhaust and early mirrors swapped in as well.

The frame serial number has been verified as 012534140. So the id plate is stamped with the frame # in the wrong location. The vin is stamped in the contract no. location. What is the 4K-8?10 number mean. Looking at the pic it looks like 4k-8810 . I searched that number and came up with nothing.

Maybe bikeman can help you out.

I think maybe he's limited to only U.S. Army data, but:

That is the military serial number.

 

[m715]

Doghead, I don't have any info on how the navy system works. When you say that 4k-8810 is the military serial number that would be different than the registration number correct? I have searched many threads here on vin# and contract # I just want my truck home and the seller to get me a title. I was told this truck had a clear title by the seller. To make things worse I am working with a woman who knows nothing about trucks. Any ss members willing to look at the photos of the info I have and tell me what year this was made and who made it I would be grateful.`

 

[doghead]

Yes, different number.

In the civilian world we need a vin number to get plates to drive them on the road.

In the service, they used the serial number to id a truck, along with the "vin" number.

As advised before, use 1967 for the year.

I'd use "Kaiser Jeep" as the manufacturer.

This info is right out of NAVFAC P-300. The 21 on the door indicates batching. Not much use at all.
The Navy doesn't include the year in the registration number like the AF does.
Series USN 20xxxxx Crushing, Mixing, Batching and Paving Equipment

I have canceled this sale. The seller did not have title as claimed. I want to thank all who offered help with this truck. I have instead made a deal to buy the truck listed in the classifieds here on this forum. I would much rather buy from a ss member and support our hobby anyway. Now I need to start the process of transporting my truck from nj, to ma.

With the rally season getting underway, you might be able to recruit some help in your recovery (and maybe even a convoy), by timing the recovery right, and posting the route.

It might not pan out, but could be worth the try.

My part of the world sucks concerning military vehicle's. We don't have much here That is not beat or rusted out. I wish I had access to some of the clean trucks guys get in other parts of the country. Also interest in military vehicles is not high. I don't know anyone close to me to help. This forum is full of helpful people, and much appreciated for the assistance I have so far received here.

 

[k10greene]

Im in old orchard beach maine. I believe thats close enough to help

 

[m715]

I will gladly take any help you offer. Unless something better comes up at this point I will drive the truck home. I would rather have it towed or trailered here but because it has a 105 behind it its a problem. I would like someone to fallow me in case of problems.
