I believe this should answer everyones question. Its lengthy but explains the Armys plans and gives hard numbers on not only how many M35a2s they will have but 5 tons too., http://armedservices.house.gov/comdocs/reports/2005exereports/05-05-23NGRER% 20FY%202006.pdf Here is the updated report...

I was told 20,000 M35A2s were made into A3s (or like the army guy told me, 20,000 M35A2s were ruined.)

I must also add that 5 years ago Camp Shelby released about 200 trucks to a private auctioning firm near Hattiesburg, MS (not GL) to be sold (all NG trucks). They went from $500 to $800, most if not all were runners. You can also serve until your about 95 years old in the NG unlike the...

I heard of NG units by-passing drmo and selling directly to whomever they want. The NG is state runned so I think some red tape federal laws don't always apply to them.

I would have to agree with Bruce. The reason I would like an A3 is so my wife could drive it. She would probably kill people with the stick version.

Went to a subordinate unit for range qual and this is what I found. Location: JRB Dallas/Ft. Worth. Looks like a Marine Corps front line ambulance. It was in VMGR 234's hangar area.

DOT 5 WAS NOT USED! The entire system was flushed out and silicon fluid was not used. Way too expensive and there just was no need for it. I should of posted that in the truck, however, I didn't expect Fred to leave us yet. You can now just use readily avaliable brake fluid like DOT 3 or 4.

rsh253, The truck you bought was went through top to bottom, espacially the brakes. Fred, the previous owner, was a good friend of mine and he will be missed greatly. The brakes espacially were rebuilt using all new wheel cylinders. I personally bled the brakes. They will put you through...

Why dosen't this SSGT have a cover on his grape?

Well said Rattlehead. I didn't realize until after when I added 16.00's to my truck how it changes everything when it comes to trailers. They look cool but end up being a pain to deal with when it comes to trailers.

Looks like a time capsule from Vietnam days. Looks like faded green to me.

Ditto on everyone's comments. Great work!

Nice trucks jim. Nice to see another LA member.

I'm glad that's only water pouring on the ground in your first picture! :)

Somebody wants them, I just bidded a large amount (more than I ever did for any GL lot) and was not the highest bidder.

Hats off to ya! I would of gave up a long time ago on getting it home and probably would of punched the inspector in the nose. Nothing burns me up more than insiders and politics who like to play games at your expense.

Re: RE: filter I bought mine from GL over 5 years ago from Crane, ID at the Naval Weapons Depot.

My 5 ton was in 5 plus feet of water during Katrina. Tank totally underwater. That being said, a little water did manage to get in the tank (due to bad fuel tank cap gasket). Solution: do not dirve the truck or start it for a least a couple of days (give time for separation), then drain off...

Marines use the 7 tons as the primary mover of troops. We have a version called the "armadillo" just for troops and protecting them. Sorry, No pic. this time. Bob, I appreciate your superior knowledge that you bring to the forum. However, if you had to pick a side of the fence, which would...

Seems like we are re-inventing the wheel. Wasn't there this thing called a "mighty might" somewhere a few decades ago. Seems like we aways go back to basics.
