I loved the Patton music that you chose for the video. I enjoyed hearing your "whistler" engine going through the mud. I have a later model deuce with a Continental engine that does not have the whistle that yours does. I read a funny satire of whistler M35s starting up in West Germany almost causing the Eastern Bloc to go on a full alert. The satire said that the East Germans could hear those whistlers starting up and thought WWIII was starting!
"Lockers" are types of differentials that you can "lock" during off-road situations like what is shown on this video to keep your wheels from spinning and you becoming stuck.
Don't know anything about these yet, but very interested from that stand point of a great work truck & BOV. Vary cool & look forward to more knowledge. Love offloading w/ my old 4runner. Real interested in more of its' capabilities.
it can burn reliably on a bunch of fuels, any combination of diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil or gasoline. With straight unleaded petrol, add 1 quart of 10-w30 per fifteen gallons of fuel.
Whats missing are a set NDCC tires, while what are on the truck may run smoother and quieter on road they arent much good off road when going through that wet clay .
It has nothing to do with tires...The M34 Eagle Beaver is NOT the same truck as the M35 Deuce And A Half buddy...The M34 had a M35 cab and front on it,with a gas OA-331,and was on the GMC M135 frame and chassis,of which the M135-M211 did have single tires and actually had a GMC 302,not the Reo OA-331 for the M35...This truck is a M35A2...The M35 were all gas trucks and had NDT-900×20's as what was used on the M51-M62/M548 and M812-M820...The M35A1 and M35A2-M756A2 both had Multi-Fuels...The M35A3-M109A4 had Caterpillars,Allison Automatic,and 1400×20 Super Singles with CTIS.
@Thecarguy24 I think his hitch came from the Govt. like that. Curt Mfg. sells a Class V hitch that will fit a Deuce perfectly. You just have to drill the holes in the frame, pretty easy. Curt part # 15605
Love the video of the Whistler Turbo in your truck. Mine does not have it so I don't have the sound of it. I understand that the East Germans would hear the sound of the Whistlers to know when the US was going on drills!
Hard to tell b/c there is always some atypical part of the trip . . . . idling for a long period, or off-roading, or pulling someone stuck out . . . . but I would guess 10-12 MPG.
Very professional video! What year and make is your Deuce? I have a 1968 M35A2C W/W and have a few puny and wimpy videos on RUclips. I just started learning how to upload most recently when my son was home on leave. Looking forward to more of the same from you! Thanks for posting this most interesting video!
11.00 NDT's aren't bad on the price. Saw you were thinking of getting duals, I think singles are better for traction.(and a heck of lot less work to get on and off)
What is strange for me that in many US movies soviet military vehicles have large stars on their bodies. But it wasn't true, red star is a "logo" of aviation. Watching your military vehicles I often can see stars! And could you answer a question: how old this model is?
lockers would help but u probably could have made it with more aggressive tread tires, those tires are good on road but they don't self clean so they plug right up
@yellow599rider Hard to say. It had those school bus tires on it when I got it. I have now upgraded to Michelin XL's, a much wider single. It gets somewhere around 10 -12 mpg.
The M35A2-M756A2 have mechanical Detroit lockers in the rear axles,the front axle is more so limited slip... The Spraug Transfer Case does have Low & High just like the Spicer 3053A Transmission does...You can install lockers on the front axles,it's been done many times,and you can even purchase ARP Air Lockers for these trucks too...But only on the 2 1/2 Ton trucks.
I am not going to argue with you . . . but the Jeep logo and brand is printed right on the data plate that is riveted to the dash . . . . and you may want to check your source on the GP reference . . . . of all the theories of how "Jeep" came about, that one is the least plausible. One suggestion would be the wikipedia entry for "Jeep" - pay close attention to the technical manual references.
The red star is a generalized symbol of communism, actually, and featured on many pieces of Soviet equipment, trucks and trains included. The VVS continues to use the red star, although the latest variant adds a blue outline around the innermost segment.
To the guy all like this is junk...can your blazer or s-10 forge 65 inches? Can it carry thousands of pounds of cargo while going up or down a mountain? Can it run on any fuel? Does it have combat rims? Can it be air lifted quickly? Is your pickup truck extremely reliable under the worst worldwide conditions? Don't get me wrong, i think 4x4 pickups have their place. But its still a pickup...if anything this truck is way cooler than what you imagine.
i am interested in getting a 2.5 i'm guessing they don't have lockers from watching this video. also i thought they were built with tandem duels in the rear. do you just use different rims to run single tires in the rear. any help on this would be great. thanks
The M35A2-M756A2 all have lockers...They are in the rear axles,and you can install them on the front.They even have ARP Air Lockers for these that you can buy.The same trucks all have NDT-900×20 dual Firestones...Same tires used on the M51-M62,M812-M820,M105A1 trailers,105MM Howitzers,and Water Buffalos.This particular truck was just changed to G177-G172 1100×20 tires.The 1100×20 was only used on the 2 1/2 Ton trucks such as the GMC M135-M211,and even the 5 Ton trucks such as the M923-M943 when they first debuted...The M923A1-M945A1 and after all use Super Singles.
Nooooo, it is a Jeep. . . . . Kaiser Jeep had the military contract to build them from about '65 to '70. "d-E-U-c-e and a half" is the fond nickname given to them by the servicemen, referring to the cargo capacity when operating off road; they are rated to carry 5 tons of cargo on the highway.
ProFriend's self-deleted post: ProFriend has replied to your comment on M35A2 Offroad: Just because Kaiser made both vehicles doesn't make this a Jeep. Jeep, like "duece and a half", was a nickname at that time (It's since become a trademark). The name Jeep comes from the official name General Purpose Vehicle, or GP. People pronounced it "jeep" and the name stuck. So, your M35 is not a jeep.
ouhpiudrhviuerwfh fivovpervioerjv, It's called, we want to hear the truck and ambient sounds, not parade music. I'm heavily certain we all know how to mute, or turn down the volume. Thanks though :/
@jakwalker96 Then what good is it if it gets buggered up going through a mud hole? What fun is it? Don't brag about having 10lb brass balls when you have peanuts. There's no comparison between this and a Ural. I really think the US taxpayer is getting the shaft.
M35 trucks were built by Studebaker, Kaiser-Jeep, REO and in the ROK, Kia. They are military M35 trucks no matter who built them.
I loved the Patton music that you chose for the video. I enjoyed hearing your "whistler" engine going through the mud.

awesome truck and awesome music track! Texas A&M Aggie Band Centennial Ballad of the Green Berets, Patton, and Johnny Comes marching home!
it true what they say. "little boys never growup, there toys only get bigger." cool vid, wish i had an old deuce.
Considering the pavement tires and no lockers, I think it managed pretty well.
Nice video, thanks for sharing. :)
To Me this is still the top Deuce video there is, Ive had mine 2 years now and this vid is still the top. Nicely Done! Cheers and God Bless!
"Lockers" are types of differentials that you can "lock" during off-road situations like what is shown on this video to keep your wheels from spinning and you becoming stuck.
very nice truck! now you need about 20 more for a convoy
Great video!!! If I had the room I'd love to have a bobbed M35A.
you have a beautiful rig!!!
You are right about the tires . . . I would love to have the XLs from Michelin that they are putting on the trucks now.
Don't know anything about these yet, but very interested from that stand point of a great work truck & BOV. Vary cool & look forward to more knowledge. Love offloading w/ my old 4runner. Real interested in more of its' capabilities.
Awesome video! Keep up the good work, using it like its supposed to be used!
awesome! nice job on the video! awesome truck! cool music! outstanding!
She sounds and looks good. Nice driving too. Some of these guys posting on RUclips thrash the hell out of their trucks.
i just recently got a deuce(finally) and it has the singles so im bummed about that but its still a deuce and its still awsome
it can burn reliably on a bunch of fuels, any combination of diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil or gasoline. With straight unleaded petrol, add 1 quart of 10-w30 per fifteen gallons of fuel.
This is the ultimate vehicle.
Whats missing are a set NDCC tires, while what are on the truck may run smoother and quieter on road they arent much good off road when going through that wet clay .
Love the vid and the deuce.... I gotta make another video now!
@BassMasterCHS Oops, just north of richloam! Just saw the credits. Sweet rig.
you got a eager beaver its the nickname for the single back tires i prefer duels but thats me nice truck
It has nothing to do with tires...The M34 Eagle Beaver is NOT the same truck as the M35 Deuce And A Half buddy...The M34 had a M35 cab and front on it,with a gas OA-331,and was on the GMC M135 frame and chassis,of which the M135-M211 did have single tires and actually had a GMC 302,not the Reo OA-331 for the M35...This truck is a M35A2...The M35 were all gas trucks and had NDT-900×20's as what was used on the M51-M62/M548 and M812-M820...The M35A1 and M35A2-M756A2 both had Multi-Fuels...The M35A3-M109A4 had Caterpillars,Allison Automatic,and 1400×20 Super Singles with CTIS.

@tjcouch That is amazing! My 1991 Grand Wagoneer with an AMC 360 gets 10-12 MPG's!
@pdy1971 They were not intended to be offroad vehicals its just fun to drive them offroad.
this is one of the best off road deuce videos i've ever seen. thanks for making it.
Actually, the new XLs did the tricked - I walked right up it a couple of weekends ago.
Hard to tell b/c there is always some atypical part of the trip . . . . idling for a long period, or off-roading, or pulling someone stuck out . . . . but I would guess 10-12 MPG.

Super sound and super video
11.00 NDT's aren't bad on the price. Saw you were thinking of getting duals, I think singles are better for traction.(and a heck of lot less work to get on and off)
Lockers???? No you need to get rid of those tire and put the NDT's back on it ...........would have never been a problem.
Awsome video!
I need one of those....
i like the duals as well, looks better and has a higher weight capacity, except with the singles you only have to buy 6 tires instead of 10! LOL
Goodyear 286's in this video - but I have now ditched them for Mich. XL's
They didn't at the time this video was shot - but I have since put Michelin XLs on it.
turn the hubs around and put duals on it!
What is strange for me that in many US movies soviet military vehicles have large stars on their bodies. But it wasn't true, red star is a "logo" of aviation. Watching your military vehicles I often can see stars!
And could you answer a question: how old this model is?
@tjcouch
where are ya playin at? looks fun
Outstanding!!!!!
5 rating and *add favorite!
It doesnt seem like those tires would have much tread to them... I'm a fan of the 'original' pattern tires.... The tread is pretty agressive on them
About 3 years ago . . . they are even cheaper now that the Nation Guard has sent all of their trucks to auction.
lockers would help but u probably could have made it with more aggressive tread tires, those tires are good on road but they don't self clean so they plug right up
your tires are bald you need tread, and yes lockers good work, nice rig im on way to get mine.
If i bought one, it would be my everyday drivier. You would be able to get me to get out. But fuel...........ugh, prolly a pain.
Love the C turbo! Did you turn uup the pump at all?
If that isn't Richloam....
3000, from a private owner in Tampa.
@yellow599rider Hard to say. It had those school bus tires on it when I got it. I have now upgraded to Michelin XL's, a much wider single. It gets somewhere around 10 -12 mpg.
those trucks go for like 2 grand, why not?
It's a '68 too!
Continental LDT-465 Multi fuel, w/ "C" turbo.
Just need the super singles on it, eh?
superbird cool video love the truck and the video general Patton would be proud
Nice... kind of like an American Ural :)
Me too . . . .as soon as I have $1,000 loose change and a free weekend to flip the hubs, she's going back to that!
what do you mean "i need lockers"? i thought m35's diffs are always locked? am i mistaken? central/transfer case lock? please enligthen me
The M35A2-M756A2 have mechanical Detroit lockers in the rear axles,the front axle is more so limited slip... The Spraug Transfer Case does have Low & High just like the Spicer 3053A Transmission does...You can install lockers on the front axles,it's been done many times,and you can even purchase ARP Air Lockers for these trucks too...But only on the 2 1/2 Ton trucks.
wrong kind of tires is ur problem and like u said u need locking hubs
how did you make that trailer hitch
Does the front have lockers
Ca someone tell me what that star on door mean ?? I want to make a model of this car but it have a star and i don't know what that mean
can you put a jake brake in to a m35???
You would of made it if it still had its a/t tires on it
What are "Lockers"
No . . . . if you watch the video during the hill climb you will see only one tire turning. . . . .
it is a 1968.
does this have the multifuel motor
I WANT ONE
I am not going to argue with you . . . but the Jeep logo and brand is printed right on the data plate that is riveted to the dash . . . . and you may want to check your source on the GP reference . . . . of all the theories of how "Jeep" came about, that one is the least plausible. One suggestion would be the wikipedia entry for "Jeep" - pay close attention to the technical manual references.
what size were those tires they look a little bigger than the stock 9.00 X 20
were do i by 1
wow $3000 for a w/w thats not too bad, when did you get her?
So how did the Michelin"s do?

NICE VERY NICE
where did you purchase it?
What does one of these beasts go for?
how much did you get your truck for? and where did you get it?
god this video makes me feel fuckin patriotic
To the guy all like this is junk...can your blazer or s-10 forge 65 inches? Can it carry thousands of pounds of cargo while going up or down a mountain? Can it run on any fuel?

@bamaboy145 I know where you can get one for 9000 in damn near mint cond
duce is nice hear in lebanon we call it rio .. but russial ural and zil trucks i think are a little better
cool
What tires were these? Also, where did you pick this one up?
No . . . I don't have a pyrometer installed, and would hate to over stress old girl.
Nooooo, it is a Jeep. . . . . Kaiser Jeep had the military contract to build them from about '65 to '70.

needs better tires
@drh1111 and now i do!
@pdy1971 aaaaand. thanks again.....
Could have done with no music
It's called mute
ouhpiudrhviuerwfh fivovpervioerjv, It's called, we want to hear the truck and ambient sounds, not parade music. I'm heavily certain we all know how to mute, or turn down the volume. Thanks though :/
see that's why, your from wisconsin. you've clearly not served in the military.. the music ws awesome go play with the other kids.
real american truck :)
@jakwalker96 Then what good is it if it gets buggered up going through a mud hole? What fun is it? Don't brag about having 10lb brass balls when you have peanuts. There's no comparison between this and a Ural. I really think the US taxpayer is getting the shaft.
lo mas cómico del video es la canción.
@pdy1971 dude post vids of his cool ass truck, and your all like "i have problems with this..... blah blah blah..."
I have 395 Michelin XLs on it now.
