Years of m35a2's

[Katavic918]

I have noticed that most deuces I see are 1968 to 1972. Does anyone know why there seems to be more of these years around than others?

Most of the big contract/orders where fulfilled during those years, then after that, the trucks just starting going through overhaul or modification programs. The last to be built were Air Force contract trucks in the mid "80s. All A3 deuces where originally early A2s.

Vietnam war and corresponding increase in size of US military.

Thanks.

I believe the last year of the A2 is 1989. I do know for a fact they built A2s during 1987, as I have one.

The Canadian MLVW family is an M35 variant, which was introduced in 1982. Straight six diesel with an automatic transmission, hard cab and single wheels.

A lot of early ones were converted to A2's. So, you could go 1949 to 1989.

The earliest one I have had was a 1954 REO, I'm hoping one of these days I will run into an old studebaker m35
