Re: RE: Year for Vin help for 5ton and 2.5 ton
Well no I'm not shure of any thing,But looking at Mr. DD's article in MV mag. He states that the 06 lot of trucks started in '73. The one here in ? is a 0540 which means it would be pre '73. He also states that the drope side's did not get there...
From what I just read the M35a2c should be a '72 And the Xm818 is a '70 .
