1965 m35a2 first gl purchase

[jackson76550]

Bid on this truck while I was bored offshore and ended up winng the auction. Its the first thing I have bought on gl so I was a bit nervous about the process...especially bidding on it without checking it out. Well I feel like I got lucky this time, the truck is nicer than I expected! Zero rust! Its so rust free it almost cant be the original cab?? It has bracing behind the seats I havent seen before as well. Put some batteries in and Truck started right up and ran great, has no brakes or guages but a friend has most all the parts I need. Truck has a bunch of new parts here and there and brand new front tires almost like they were fixing it up and decided to take it out of service?? Beats me...it has a small leak at the pto but otherwise leak free.

truck also has thundercat logos on the doors as an added bonus,

Good truck at a good location. I'd know, I was after it too.

Im going to keep an eye on the ft worth location for future purchases, nice folks and they just let us go back there and do our thing.

Nice looking truck & welcome aboard to the Green Iron Laughing Academy. Seems like you have all your ducks in a row so far with the purchase & recovery of your first truck. Post up some more pictures as you get her fixed up & running. Good luck with all!

Zero rust on a 1965 multifuel! That is impressive. Please post about the particulars of the front tires, very interested in what is on there.

Might want to check your VIN; doesn't look like a '65 to me. More like early 70's model.

Congrats, looks like a keeper.

Probably "super lug" tires.

Its not my first, i had a deuce a few years ago and i bought a 5 ton a month ago. After seeing what the 5 ton went for on gl.... I decided i need to buy a few trucks there too! I will get some more pictures up here in a bit

 

[jackson76550]

the vin starts with 01 so I assume it is a 65 model

the tires are Samson 0b103 traction tires, found a few places that carry them with a google search

The cab reienforcements and the ol motor

Now i see why the guages were missing, possibly radioactive? Ha. Used to think the deuce was a big truck... Until i parked it by the 5 ton

Nice truck & a winch to boot! What is the cab reinforcement for? I'd like to see the rest of that trouble- shooting sheet.

Gun ring mount reinforcement.
