M35A3 Ranch Truck

[M1075]

With the high cost and short life span of a 1 ton 4x4, it was time to modifiy a M35A3 for serious ranch work. This truck has a 3000# cake/cube feeder and a hydraulic hay bed for loading and unrolling round hay bales. Rear locker, front hubs, and 100amp battery equalizer were also added.

SWEET! There still some green in there somewhere though! LOL Bet she does one heck of a job for ya!! People on this site continue to amaze me with their thoughtfulness and ability to adapt, modify, and over come!
Great job!
God bless,
Tony

And it no doubt DID cost a lot less and will probably outlive about three brand new one ton 4x4 trucks.

Well done, sir!

Let's see some more detail pics. The way it's mounted, any other modifications done to it. Looks good though. Next thing is a winch right??

Work truck? That baby is more than nice enough to be a daily driver!

Very nice paint and excellent fab work on the body.

The A3 body is still butt ugly.

Looks great first class fab work.

Body wouldn't be bad if the hood sat flat, lines flat, and fixed the headlights...

The truck looks good though, for what its doing.

Way to work a surplus truck! Looks good, but you need to paint it green. Sorry....

 

[M1075]

Thanks for the compliments, I'm anxious to see how well it performs.

It didn't happen without a lot of input/advice from many trusted advisors on here. Also, Jondale was the primary fabricator that made it happen. Props up to him!

I learned to drive on my Grandad's ranch in his old M38 jeep. I thought it was fun, but he had me hauling fence materials, etc., so I learned to work at the same time I learned to drive! Great truck.

Nice looking fab work; looks well laid out and well suited to its application.
I really enjoy seeing trucks like this modified to suit a particular application and put to work...
How about a few shots of it in action? Or even better, a video?
