Vehicle description
If you"re looking for a beast of a road legal war machine from the past then look no further! This is a 1971 M35-A2 AM General which has been "Bobbed" (originally a "Duece and a Half" 6x6 2.5 ton military truck) for user friendly road worthiness! If you know what it takes to actually "Bobb" an original 6x6 then you know how expensive it is for this custom conversion. Comes with AVM locking hubs for easy front wheel free spinning when on road to reduce wear and tear on moving parts and increase fuel efficiency. Custom heavy duty roll bar added for safety and that one of a kind look. The soft top is in newer condition and weather proof but is a 8 out of 10 due to minor rodent chewing of interior surface when it was stored separately from truck. Truck runs as it should and drives as it should but will need brake work of which the new parts will be supplied with sale of truck (see list of parts going with truck below). The emergency breaking system works fine. The power plant is a Hercules "Multi-Fuel" in line 6 cylinder. I would recommend running diesel only NOT gasoline. Truck has surface rust in places but is super solid for it"s age and worthy of putting back on road. The truck was last on the road in 2016. I purchased truck two years ago and simply realized I have way too many projects and don"t have the resources to give it the attention it so rightly deserves. I discovered a bullet hole in an inconspicuous area of the tailgate of the trailer bed. No doubt from a large armor piercing round. The trailer beds are added during the "Bobbing" process so most likely the trailer bed when it was used as a trailer is what took the hit. .not the truck. I"m sure this vehicle has seen action but don"t have much on its history. Tires are massive 14.00R20 = 14" Wide x 48" Tall. I have a spare for the front passenger side which could use replacement. This is more than just a beastly truck. . its a truck that has served our military troops most likely in the Vietnam War era which "officially" ended in 1975! It deserves to go to a new owner who appreciates the "value added" that comes with this truck and will take care of it!
