Thanks. It really is a joy to have and quite possibly on of the best ways to spend money I have found! It really allows me and my fam aand friends to get together and have a good time. Parades, camping and trail rides are so much fun.
0:30 reminded me of when I was in the Marines. When my unit got its hands on an old deuce, we drove around our base and my friends and I were in the back. We leaned our heads out of the side and keep going "MOO!" Hahaha.. Good times.
That give new meaning to wheeling with your buddys, you could take your friend, family, and your friends family wheeling with that beast. Great work, bad ass truck!
Gotta love the Deuce! Drove several on a regular basis for 3 years while in the Air Force during the 1970's. They were 74 model AM General M35A2 with the Continental LDT465 whistlers. Everyday drivers to our radar sites. Loaded and towing on convoys. Even carrying our 13,000 lb radar units (yes that is above max loading, truck didn't know the difference). Seeing these trucks on youtube again brings back memories. Dang, now I want to go out and buy one!
I hate to burst your bubble, but I drove mine to high school and parked it next to the "rich" kids with a 250 with a 6 in lift and 42. I could still see the top of his cab. Oh and there he was revving his engine and I was still louder than him with my truck at dam near an idle.
Rock3t well technically speaking it isn't diesel that is an m35a2 most likely a c from the sound of it, but and m35a2 was technically multi fuel you could put a few different fuels into it
A,C,and D Turbos were all the same,the Engines made the same amount of HP and Torque depending on what Verison of Engine.The LDT-465 made 135 HP and the LDS-465 made 175 HP.The only difference is that throughout certain years,the M35A2 and even 5 Ton Trucks like the M52A2,M54A2,etc for examples had different Turbochargers. And there seems to be little understanding about Diesel Engines. All the Fuels that you can use in a damn Multi-Fuel will be used in a Diesel Engine as well.Ignition Compression Engines are built on Lubrication,any thing that is Oil will be used as Fuel,Diesel Fuel is a form of Oil,and even Transmission Fluid and Motor Oil are also alternatives.The first Diesel Engine ran on Vegetable Oil. The Multi-Fuel in the older 5 Ton Trucks and Deuce & A Half are Ignition Compression Engines.The only thing that makes them different is the Design and the Size of the Pistons,Pumps,and Fuel Injectors.You can combust Gasoline,Petrol,and Ethanol ONLY if it's mixed with Diesel or Motor Oil.You can't go 50/50%,70% has to be Oil and 30% has to be Flammable,the Fuel gets put on a Bowl in the Piston while the Engine is at work.You can't mix and calculate this on a actual Diesel Engine,other than a Multi-Fuel.If you run straight Flammable Fuel in one of these trucks,you fucked up.And the Turbos on them all sound the same.
You should get a front end winch with snatch blocks. If you can find the rare pipeline Duce and a half, it had a big rear winch also that you can adapt to the M35A2. These trucks can take a licking and keep on ticking, but they will roll over if you get sideways on a steep grade. Other than that, I always thought they were safe to drive and I ran them through some rough places in Vietnam.
hello. army track and wheel mechanic and recovery specialist. i really had fun watching you have fun,thank you for sharing. CAUTION;Never attempt any of these maneuvers while towing more than 3 half ton civilian trucks. The frame on the first towed vehicle gets stretched, lol
I have one located here in Missouri .Just found out my 80 year old Poppa had to take a truck driving course out @ Camp Carson Colorado back in the 50's during the Korean War , so I have a qualified instructor . He says they made 'em drive it up & down a mountain road - if ya didn't roll it over you passed . LOVE the truck & great post . I usta think I wanted a 911 Porsche .... I can RUN OVER Porsche's with this thing , and the multi-fuel is really cool .
great video--Iown a M352ac and its amazing what they are capable of. Thats why they were a mainstay for the military for decades. I did get mine stuck in the Rio Grande river and let me tell you, it was a bugger getting it out.
Awesome video, but try a taller hill, for the vertical test... These vehicles were built for 'extreme' terrain operations. I love how the woman in the background was astounded by the truck's capabilities...very cool. Keep on truckin'!
I have had water over the hood before. If you keep the intake up you can do just about anything. Now my 5 ton has lockers in it. I cant wait to play with that this summer.
@XXdetonator890 Also, manual 5 speed stick shift with a slightly odd shift pattern (4 and 5th reversed from what you would expect), and first is normally used for off-road or heavy loads, an empty light loaded truck can start off in second gear.
Listen to mister negative on the video. He gonna roll that SB over, there's no backing out of it.. Blather man shut it. Take a lot more to roll that D1/2
I slept under more deuce and a halves than I ever slept in a rack! Repaired a lot of them too. And one of them, allegedly, may have carried 5 GI's stuffed into the cab into a town in KY and then back out by those same GI's only this time they were exceedingly intoxicated. Allegedly!!
Yeah! Looks like she's (the M35A2, not the driver) having a good time! Did some of this whilst stationed at Fort Hood in the late 1970s in a model very similar to this one.
Ahh okay. I always wonder what model the "whistler turbo" was thanks. Who manufactured it? Honeywell, Holset, Garrett, Borg Warner, etc? Or was is the engine manu. that did? White, Hercules, Continental?
Thats a nice truck. I love the whistler turbo on the deuces. I prefer the 5-ton with the 250 cummins though. But nothing sounds better than that multifueler with the whistler turbo.
@nthom1956 Correct on the 4/5 pattern. That was for comfort for the person who had to ride in the middle during moivement. Thanks for the info, most of the trucks I drove were 1970's AmGen with the Continental multifuel, we did have a few old early 1950's M35's, Studebakers with REO gas engines with our radars mounted on them. They had the more conventional 4-5 pattern. Amazed the government changed the spec on the shift pattern over the years just for creature comfort. LOL
@12valvepower1 What configuration? I have a 2011 f150 3.7 4x4 supercab with 3.73 gearing. I have a roush air intake as the only mod. I'm getting the same mileage as you. I really wanted a superduty but figured the gas would be too expensive
Thank you, yes I would be interested! I am unfamiliar with all the paper work that GL requires and time limits etc, etc,etc. Prices seem ubelieveable there, but what does it entail after the sale? Thanks again for the assistance!
@thelasthallow I drove those in the Army for a number of years, so I know a lot about them, my mos was 64C-driver and I worked in the motor pool, I drove a lot of different kind of stuff, all the way up to tracked vehicles, this M35 A2 is one tough cookie, damn near impossible to get stuck. I also had to teach new comers to drive out in the field, hey kendelrio nice video, and lasthollow nice comment. A veteran-Paul.
Did this have the automatic tranny? How about the air-assist power steering? If so, does it help? Just curious-I'm thinking about getting one in the next couple days.
Nothing more fun than playing with an old big off road vehicle in the woods. These old things are alive, all that new shit with all their computers and stuff, that isn't real anymore, that are robots.
Yep. I had a bunch of folks with me, and there really weren't any deeper/steeper. Once I get my winch, there are some other places I'm gonna go play in....
I have been wanting one of theses for a while now. Only thing is I kept hearing that if you get from a government auction site its hard to get a title to it cause they dont provide the proper forms. But if that wasnt a issue I would gladly get one if I could get a running one for $500 or so that needed to be worked on.
the engine is considered multifuel but their is no compensator you have to pull the front cover on the engine and their are different timing marks on the injection pump gear one for JP8 (diesel) one for mogas (pump gas) one for kerosen and on some later models one for JP12 (avation fuel) IIRC great vehicles drove one in the army years ago cant wait to buy one for myself.
If you live in or near Florida you can buy mine! I have nearly $14,000 in my truck which has power steering, a 20,000 pound Garwood winch and a hardtop with doors you can actually lock!
Thanks. It really is a joy to have and quite possibly on of the best ways to spend money I have found! It really allows me and my fam aand friends to get together and have a good time. Parades, camping and trail rides are so much fun.

1993 I was introduced to Armstrong steering. Fell in love with these trucks that day. One day I'll have one.
I hate to burst your bubble, but I drove mine to high school and parked it next to the "rich" kids with a 250 with a 6 in lift and 42. I could still see the top of his cab. Oh and there he was revving his engine and I was still louder than him with my truck at dam near an idle.
If anything ever happens to my Chevy my next truck will be an M35A2
Man I love the sound the turbo makes in these trucks
Best sounding diesel 1969-FOREVER
Rock3t well technically speaking it isn't diesel that is an m35a2 most likely a c from the sound of it, but and m35a2 was technically multi fuel you could put a few different fuels into it

Memories...the Blue Beaver Driving Course at Fort Sill OK....... pulling 105mm howitzers was easy with those puppies. Great trucks....

looks like a lot of fun !
Awesome! Great soundtrack as well!! 👍
Love the sound of that engine!!
Nice job on the last part. Healthy sounding whistler too.

GOD bless American M35s!!!!!
haha! Love how every one thought it couldn't make the down hill! It can do way more than that! Wish I had one.......
great video--Iown a M352ac and its amazing what they are capable of. Thats why they were a mainstay for the military for decades. I did get mine stuck in the Rio Grande river and let me tell you, it was a bugger getting it out.

damn thats a cool truck,my dad loved this truck during his army time ,now I know why
I miss driving those. Drove 5 tons and deuce 1/2 trucks at Fort Knox during 1990.
M35 a2, the little truck a soldier cant kill
Give it a good work out .... that was child s play for it . I've been in the back of one when it was doing shit like that .. what a ride
I have had water over the hood before. If you keep the intake up you can do just about anything. Now my 5 ton has lockers in it. I cant wait to play with that this summer.
Thats one very capable truck
Nice truck. Congratulations
@DevinL16: Relatively. I get about 10 MPG in it.
God that sounded heavenly.
good looking truck hope you treat it like it looks :)
i agree one of the best you really know how to use a deuce
Great Vid by the way, 5 Stars, and thanks for replying, I like how you handled the hill at 2:40..lol outstanding piece of machinery
sounds great!
Fun video!
The sound of that engine is music to my ears.
The old M35 can still hunt. I need to get mine out soon too...
@XXdetonator890 Also, manual 5 speed stick shift with a slightly odd shift pattern (4 and 5th reversed from what you would expect), and first is normally used for off-road or heavy loads, an empty light loaded truck can start off in second gear.

Much appreciated. You should see when I **didn't** have the camera....
Yeah! Looks like she's (the M35A2, not the driver) having a good time! Did some of this whilst stationed at Fort Hood in the late 1970s in a model very similar to this one.
go for it, practically a throw away toy
it's a Duce and a half why would you ever doubt it
Ahh okay. I always wonder what model the "whistler turbo" was thanks. Who manufactured it? Honeywell, Holset, Garrett, Borg Warner, etc? Or was is the engine manu. that did? White, Hercules, Continental?
Hey, do these things need state inspection, and do you need any special licensing to drive them? How does a title transfer work? Is there one?
@nthom1956 Correct on the 4/5 pattern. That was for comfort for the person who had to ride in the middle during moivement.
That Whistle!!!!!

Thanks. At as a m currently using it to do odd jobs around the house. Will film and post soon.
Do it again. Do it again!!!!
hi can you answe me wath is the bes engine between the multifueler and the cummins?
nice truck man
@kendelrio rough est on how much a running one would cost?
How long have you owned this M35? Any recomendations for someone looking for one?
one of the cool things about them, their chep. i mean you can pick them up for $4000 or less and parts are easy to come by
Nice truck! Seriously looking into purchasing something similar. Any suggestions? Is GL a good place to look?
How hard are the clutches to use on one of these things? I already know they don't come with power steering and all.
thanks. Central Louisiana...
@12valvepower1 What configuration? I have a 2011 f150 3.7 4x4 supercab with 3.73 gearing. I have a roush air intake as the only mod. I'm getting the same mileage as you. I really wanted a superduty but figured the gas would be too expensive
I used to try and get one stuck on the tank trails back in 79', almost worked
what do one of these cost? and where can i get one? do you have to have a CDL to drive one on the road?
awsome, i want one.
@kendelrio How come you prefer the white over the cummins
Thank you, yes I would be interested! I am unfamiliar with all the paper work that GL requires and time limits etc, etc,etc. Prices seem ubelieveable there, but what does it entail after the sale? Thanks again for the assistance!
Are deuces AWD or do they have they part-time 6wd?
Nice Hobby!
I was looking at the first mudhole and I though, that looks like Camp Livingston. Then I read the description and laughed my ass off.
so how terrible is it on diesel? because i want one but dont know the gas range
where did you find a lot of those for cheap?
@xmodrock Anywhere from USD $1500.00 to $6000.00 depending on where you buy it.
i'd love to have one of these trucks,.... never have to worrie about not makin it to work in the winter time:P
@thelasthallow I drove those in the Army for a number of years, so I know a lot about them, my mos was 64C-driver and I worked in the motor pool, I drove a lot of different kind of stuff, all the way up to tracked vehicles, this M35 A2 is one tough cookie, damn near impossible to get stuck. I also had to teach new comers to drive out in the field, hey kendelrio nice video, and lasthollow nice comment. A veteran-Paul.
Do you need anything for the "Former Military Vehicle" registration... I have a m35 that needs a registration and live in northern LA???
@kendelrio how much does one of these cost ?
@kendelrio is one of 1500 a good one or a piece of crap?
Did this have the automatic tranny? How about the air-assist power steering? If so, does it help? Just curious-I'm thinking about getting one in the next couple days.
Could you tell me: how many hp does it have?
does this have the multifuel motor
Nothing more fun than playing with an old big off road vehicle in the woods.
These old things are alive, all that new shit with all their computers and stuff, that isn't real anymore, that are robots.
where did you get it?
Yep. I had a bunch of folks with me, and there really weren't any deeper/steeper. Once I get my winch, there are some other places I'm gonna go play in....
I have been wanting one of theses for a while now. Only thing is I kept hearing that if you get from a government auction site its hard to get a title to it cause they dont provide the proper forms. But if that wasnt a issue I would gladly get one if I could get a running one for $500 or so that needed to be worked on.
that motor is a cummins 8.9 catterpillar built beast
Those look like good trucks. Where can I get more info?
will it run on butter? :D those trucks look so cool. I don't really know anything about engines and whatnot but those M35s just look so badass.
im liking the tree at 3:08 lol
@bloodreighn I had just got it and didn't know what it could do....
That is the meanest mother fucking truck ever put on the face of the earth by man. Easiest way i can think of putting it.
I'm getting one this summer
These vehicles did not have any power steering form what I recall. Some had issues with the sprag unit.
5 Ton sprags had issues Would wind up and pop at random
that turbo screams like me when i am happy LOL. ;)
do you know about how much one of theese cost? i want a 1971 model
the engine is considered multifuel but their is no compensator you have to pull the front cover on the engine and their are different timing marks on the injection pump gear one for JP8 (diesel) one for mogas (pump gas) one for kerosen and on some later models one for JP12 (avation fuel) IIRC great vehicles drove one in the army years ago cant wait to buy one for myself.
@kendelrio How much you sell it for?
yeah I want one so bad found a 52 gmc deuce for 1750 hoping to get that one soon
@kendelrio also whats the insurance like, and I take it plates are not cheap
how much does one of these cost
@44CONMANJ "Rock and Roll" by Zepplin.
@kendelrio so buying one.. they street legal?
If you live in or near Florida you can buy mine! I have nearly $14,000 in my truck which has power steering, a 20,000 pound Garwood winch and a hardtop with doors you can actually lock!
