Takes me back. That's what I cut my teeth on. We had a "fleet" too. Used them to load out square bales from the bottomland pastures because they got kind of mucky after an Okiehomie rain (Mowing is, after all, the most reliable rain dance). Couldn't just sit in it and drive. Set the throttle and get out and pitch bales with the other kids until we got to the wind row. I did bury one when I was about 12. Old man wasn't happy that I sank it to the pumpkins.He had me stay down there after dark moving the hay off of my truck to another one... by myself. That's how you learn to know when to get your foot out of the pedal.
Good to see you back again, I looked the other day to see if I'd missed a new update from you. Nice find on the trucks and good to see you got them run, that's half the battle right there . With all you guys with youtube channels buying these trucks Clint at C&C equipment's going to be running low on parts pretty soon L.O.L. Looking forward to more content from you, I've got regular Sunday morning go to channels, but saw this and came right here. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Absolutely love your dog he’s a playful little rascal anyway it’s neat you bought those trucks I don’t know what kind of money I go to have to pay for one and halfway decent running shape. Anyway, thank you again for saving those trucks and keep playing with that dog.
When you check the oil level cold, it will show to be approximately 1.5 > 2.0 qts over full. Proper method to check is to start and let it run for 3 or 4 minutes, shut down , wait about a minute and then check the oil level.
Good to see a new video Blake. Two out of 3 start and drive. Seems a good find to me. Keep us in the loop on your progress on these, and anything else video worthy for that matter.
I bought,fixed,and sold 10 of those when Obama was clearing out military "surplus". What you bought was called "remnants" back then. Missing a lot of parts. There is a surplus company near Texarkana Texas that will have all of the parts you will need. For the life of me I can't remember their name.Sorry.
@@allenbo8234 if you are talking about the year model of the M-35 truck you could well be correct. Nice thing about the trucks is that the design was rarely changed and most all parts are interchangeable. Only oddity I ever saw was with former air force models: they had 2 brake master cylinders: 1 fails and there was a back up so they wouldn't roll into an airplane I guess.
We had a truck that looks just like these at the hand Grenade Range at Camp Bullis, TX. Very cool seeing some mostly put together I hope to drive one one day!
For more information and parts, get a hold of "Steel Soldiers" they are a form with a whole bunch of guys with unlimited knowledge and parts. Good luck Blake.
I say keep both. I had a nice 69 m35a2. And I sold it about a year ago. Biggest mistake ever. And currently looking for it back. Definitely fun old historical trucks. Nothing beats that turbo screaming
There's a wealth of information on these trucks. Please save them. I'd come take one off your hands but my car hauler is full until I buy a house in Colorado. Nearby!!!
I will see if I can find and old glossary of the trucks that cameback from Nam... I may be wrong but I havent ever heard of a truck built in 66 going almost all were 1950's and very early 1960's builds.... I am in SE wyoming as well... Good ol goinsey here
In reference, too #23, on the right front corner of the front bumper, will indicate the military unit the 23 belong too, providing it did go to Vietnam, on the left front bumper, will read, in a example A-64 , meaning the truck belong in "A" company, truck # 64! Then Google that information, which will/will not show the travel history of the that unit to & from Vietnam!
