Bought a Deuce but not sure what I have.

[Tan]

Hi Im new and a first time Deuce owner.

I recently bought a M35A2D. Or so I thought. I cant find one like it any were online. What makes mine different is it has 3 rear axles instead of the standard 2 and a 5th wheel hitch.

Ive tried to attach pics. Im hoping one of yall might know if this is how it came from the factory or if you think its a custom mod someone has done.

Thanks! That was a quicker response time than I imagined too.

Jonathon did some great work on that truck. His fab skills are tough to top.

Hey Tan, Welcome from Northern Ohio. Are you going to leave the truck as is, or put some type of bed on it?

Welcome to the site, nice truck.

I'm thinking of putting a bed on it. I'm wanting to find someone looking for a fifth wheel that will trade for their bed...

Yes I didn't know it didn't come like that originally.
