My deuce with a 12' plow and dump.

[Droppedadeuce]

I've been a lurker for years, a member for a little while and decided to post some pictures of my shop truck.

its a 1972 m35a2c, whistler, dropside at one point, was fitted with a plow and a dump by the local base for plowing the runways. (Has the signal identification for runway lights in the cab). I bought her last year for $2700, painted silver with original tires and no brakes. I bought mrap tires, wheels, and mirrors from some members on here, and adapter plates from peashooter. Just ordered westfolks spin on kit. Love the site and hopefully I can acquire some more military vehicles!

That is a sharp looking package.

Thanks! So apparently someone told me these Airforce trucks are rarer?

The late 1980's ones are rarer they had duel circuit brakes. The Air Force does tend to take better care of them though

Do you have power steering? Truck looks great. I don`t think most Air Force trucks took the beating ours did, being in combat areas, and being driven by 18 year olds.

How did you attach the plow frame to the truck? Could you take some pictures of that please and thank you. I would love a plow on my Deuce even though I would rarely ever use it.

Previous owner said the Air Force had, and it was used to plow the runways. It's mounted to the bumper bolts on top, sits against the bumper, and then 2 diagonal braces from the bottom back to the frame 2.5' back from the bumper. I'll take some pics.
