New guy. M35A2vsM35A3

[RIDDLE1]

Ok so I am sure that this has been run in the ground but I am truly new to the MV thing. I am looking to purchase a M35 in the next year and would like to hear the advantages/disadvantages of the A2 vs. A3. I understand the mechanical differences between the two but would really like to know what you guys with experience think.

I know but really lost.

I tried searching for it but can't find it? Got a link?

search "m35a2 m35a3"

 

[General Mcgregor]

I think at this point there are 100+ A3 vs A2 threads on this site, I see them weekly.

Welcome Aboard ... always room for another loyal son of the South!

I see you met everybody.

Sometimes you gotta get creative with your searches ... and do more than one or two.

Also try over at the Deuce Modifications and hod rodding thread.

There is a LOT of good information on this site ... just keep searching and reading. Learn as much as you can before you buy one.

BTW ... you might want to give the classified a look over too. That's where I found my Deuce.

Best advice, drive both and buy which one you like better. Othewise you'll get nothing but a thread full of bickering back and forth.

Absolutely fantastic advice!

That is the plan. I just have to find some to drive around here. I do not know one person that owns one. Also how much does one weigh? If I have to go out of state to buy one I might trailer it home.

Lets put it this way, You ain't gonna tow it with a pick-up. Then again.....................................That thread is still going isn't it?

Oh well..........there goes that idea! I was thinking it might be a little over the weight limit of the ole dodge 3500!

A Deuce is over 13,000 pounds.

It ain't the towing ...

... its the STOPPING that's the problem.

I'd go with the A4.







Or what about the plain M35 or the M35A1. Nobody ever shows them any love.

I have brakes on the truck and gooseneck! LOL!

With the weight of the trailer I would be a little over the truck towing capacity. I think I would try it if it was not to far away.

Welcome to the site, your only about 90 miles south, we live just north of macon, and happen to have one of each sitting in our yard, come check them out. We are having a get together on the 20th for my husbands b-day, come if you would like, pm me for directions.

Thanks! That would be great! I am working non-stop right now but I will have some time next month. I really appreciate the offer!

Don't wait to long, the A3 isn't ours it is another ss members truck that we picked up for him, don't know when he is coming to get it. Oh and driving it would be up to him also but looking shouldn't be a problem.
