Recovered my M35A2

[bigjmcconnell]

Well, I bought an M35A2 hoping to do a Bobbed Deuce project. Well, I certainly got the project part right. I think this one will be my parts donor. Towed it about 150 miles back to NJ. I had some other stuff on the trailer too. 1 deuce winch, 3 generators and 5 CUCV axles. I stopped at the scales. 25,520 gross. Towed well but gave my superduty a pretty good workout. Anyway here's a few photos.

Can't see details, but what I can see looks pretty clean! Nice find!

That's a heck of a load. Looks good.

Oh man. Look at that baby squatting!

Looks good and glad you had a safe trip!

Yeah I was pushing it pretty hard weight wise. My superduty only has a 5.4L but it gets the job done. The 6 speed and 4.10 gears help.

Holy crap, you towed that with a gasser? How many gallons per mile did it take?

 

[bigjmcconnell]

haha. I didn't check mileage but I think I was getting about 8-10 mpg

Well I started messing around with the truck a bit and decided she will be a parts donor for my future bobber project. It's missing too much to put back together

towing rigs on the weight limit is always pretty heart in mouth stuff-love to see pics of trucks earning there keep-good luck with the bobber project-starting mine is two years away at least!
keep 'em rollin'

oh,and that is a seriously useful looking trailer.

Thanks! The superduty earns her keep often. Trailer is a 20 ft deck with 4ft convertable dovetail. It is pretty darn useful.
