I learned to drive one of our gun trucks in Viet Nam. I was not an assigned driver because I didn't have a valid driver's license at that time. The truck suffered some considerable damage from an accident. But still ran. My buddies taught me how to use the clutch. And after that, I was using it to transport water from the water station to our barracks. Oh, I did not cause the accident, another driver did. Talking about a pretty tough and reliable truck, it certainly, was.
Finally...somebody explained what PTO stands for. "Power Take Off". Thank you for sharing how exactly the wench connected. Very nice stock M35A2 truck by the way.
By 1970 several of these were fitted with power steering. Many military vehicle engines were typically detuned to provide more reliability for tactical missions. They could easily be bumped up in power though.
I have been researching these and the newer 5 ton trucks with the idea of maybe getting one. I have to say that your truck is spectacularly clean, compared to others I have seen. And, your explanation is spot on. Thank you.
Nicely done review of the M35. 😊👍 One observation: NDT tyres were not designed to fool the enemy. Any competent observer can tell which way the truck was going regardless of directional or non-directional tyres. The primary advantage of non-directional tyres is that they may be used on any wheel station. With directional tyres, they may only be used on one side or the other unless the rims were symmetrical, which is very rare as offset rims are far more common, such as these on the Deuce.
Great video. The transfer case is 2 speed manual shift. the front axle engagement is air shift. The transmission shift pattern was modified so the Soldiers A, B,C. fit into the cab for longer distance comfort.
Good job and nice truck I've got one too I'm ready to start painting , started on the trailer today looking forward to it. Glad to see your interest in these legendary old trucks thanks for posting 😊 🙋♂️

The m35 spanned all of the years. M35a2 was late 60s. The a2 upgrade was the super turbocharged multi fuel. The overdrive spicer 5 and the air shift transfer Case. Before they were mogas no over drive and Sprague's in the transfer case kicked it in. At between 7 and 9 percent wheel slip and full lock in low range. The reason they went airshift is because if the Sprague's were bad you would have no 6x even in low
Thanks! Definitely keep that winch cable greased. I have heard that the canvas cover can trap moisture. Didn't see many canvas winch covers in active duty.
What about my 1942 IHC 10 wheeler red Diamond 20 thousand miles my truck is center member rear ends , not like this truck , my truck might of came with 6 volt system , lol thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏

And someone to explain the reason of the NDT

I like this powerful truck REO .
Sold, I'll buy one next week.
Excelente, e visto specifications pero nunca algo tan bien detallado de 10
Thanks! Gracias!
You can burn other fuels but ideally you should change the injectors. Just speaking from experience wrenching on these in Viet Nam.
In our country myanmar remain figure body and chang all the axle and other parts and diesel turbo engine to use truck car for trade
you know it is a big truck when you can go from one side of the engine bay to the other by the bumper.
great video
Thanks!
Very nice truck

Thanks 👍
You should put a good coat of grease on that winch cable, then a heavy-duty canvas covering over the cable and winch.
Thanks! Definitely keep that winch cable greased. I have heard that the canvas cover can trap moisture. Didn't see many canvas winch covers in active duty.
