Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

[M35A2-AZ]

I had a M934 and it drove nice, the ride was great due to the long wheel base and the weight of the truck. I think it was around 30,000 lbs.
The problem was putting the sides out, it was a pain by your self or just with two people. To make a camper out of it all the mounted things inside had to be in the middle due to the way the floor and the ceiling work. But once out it made a big area inside, like 240 sqft.

Not that it's of interest but there was a deuce with the same body. It was the M292 with many variants including an A5 with a lift gate.

Also a trailer version that could be had with soft sides, hard sides, or fold out sides like the trucks above. The bat wing style is generally a machine shop and can be had on a trailer also.

Ive got a 934 expandable van unit mounted on a trailer that needs a home! Makes it so the truck isn't such a slug and you can use it for other things instead of the box being on it all the time. My 5 ton pulled it like it wasn't even back there despite the tounge weight.

You also can opt for a 927 bed as well. This unit just slides right off. Some industrial skates and a sturdy setup you could slide the box onto it when not needing it and slide the bed onto it. Just put a winch in the spare tire area. We green disease do it yourself home engineers on steel soldiers can dang near make anything

FYI, there is also the extremely rare M935 variant that has a liftgate, but good luck finding one. I have never seen one but they are listed in the TMs.

I just recently purchased a 934a2 and drove it 2200 miles home. Truck drives beautifully and handles well. Little slower than some of the others but it's also heavier. i think towing heavy would make it a slow pig but it would do it.

My A1 when it had the box on it was just slow as could be. Fred flinstoning it would have gained some speed. I mean it is a 9400lb box. After i put the box on the trailer it tows behind my 923 easily.

I have never drove a A1 truck so I can't compare them but have drove multiple A2's and I don't feel that there is much of a difference. My friend who went with me on my trip has a 931a2 and said he could hardly notice a difference. I'm rather impressed by it so far.

It's this one.

Also pretty close to the worst 5 color "chocolate chip" desert paint jobs I've ever seen.

M934A2 w/ Liftgate. Nothing special about the truck itself but yes a custom job.

I took this screen shot from the video. I haven't been around the Cummins 8.3Ls enough to say that's what it is just by looking at it, so maybe it is a Cat engine. Is the caption correct though?

I ask because I know there weren't any stock form M939 multifuels and I've never heard of Cat making multifuels either. Just a curiosity really.

It's just a normal Cummins 6CTA. Everything thing they listed (except gasoline) is suitable for combustion in a diesel engine to some degree, calling it a multifuel would be the same as calling your average a car a multifuel since it can run off 87, 89, and 92 octane gasoline. This type of embellishment or ignorance is just shameful in my opinion. I know where those van trucks came from and what they put into them. At the price they're asking they should at least know what the product name is. All I can do is... *sigh*
