Successful M35A2C recovery!

[JMPM35A2]

Hey there fellas, My buddy and I had a successful recovery on Sunday of our deuce. She ran perfect all the way home, no issues at all! Shes in better shape than I originally thought. Has all the options we were looking for also.

That's a rare bird if that is a factory installed winch.

How do you tell if its factory installed?

Take a pic of the data plate and post it.

Looks good.

Looks like a former National Guard truck (oval markings on bumper). Also I see a muffler. She's a twin to mine (also M35A2C) but my winch was added by the military at some point (dataplate says wo/w). They added tailgate steps as bumper steps, so someone cared for that truck at some time. These steps don't hang down as much as the foldable ones.
The winch cable looks rough; it's a wire rope cable and the rope part tends to rot when the cable is soaked to the point of rusting. No issue if you don't plan on using it for (heavy) pulls.

Good luck and have fun with her!

Yes my data tag say wo/w. The previous owner had added the muffler on there. I think i'm gonna keep it on there for a while.

Nice truck. My best truck is an Air Force truck.

I have 2 M35AC's and the dropsides sure do come in handy. One of mine came from the factory with a winch.
