Hi guys, new member checking in here. About 3 months ago, my Dad and I got our hands on this 69' M35A2. We're in the process of restoring it and using it as a shop/show truck.

It wasn't in bad shape when we bought it from Ken Kublo Surplus, up in Laurel Lake PA. It had the usual rust and minor dents n' dings, but after a cleaning and painting, it looks pretty good. We used a CARC-substitute spray-on you can get in rattle-cans from armyjeepparts.com SOmeday, we may get around to a more realistic paint job, but we had to do somthing to please the vehicle inspectors who wouldn't give us our antique plates untill we painted the rust back into submission.

Right now, it needs only 1 mechanical part, a valve cover gasket to replace a leaky front one, aside from that, it's just a long line of cosmetic problems, faded marker lights, faded paint, a few missing eye-hooks for the tarp, etc. But it runs and drives, and we just love rolling though suburbia in it, getting a lot of odd looks, and the occasional thumbs-up. It's a real crowd pleaser <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">
