This 1971 AM General M35A2 was recently acquired by the selling dealer and features a reupholstered cabin. These trucks were designed for military use and assumed the “Deuce and a Half” name from the 2.5-ton GMC truck used in World War II. This example is claimed to retain its original multi-fuel Hercules 478ci turbocharged inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The engine was last serviced around three months ago, and this M35A2 is now being offered with a clean Oklahoma title.

The seller states that its likely this M35A2 has received some paintwork in the past, though no obvious signs of prior damage or body repairs are present. A few areas of surface corrosion commensurate with age are noted.

According to the seller, the basic M35 cargo truck is officially rated to carry 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) off-road, or 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) on-road, however they have been known to haul approximately twice as much. Trucks in this weight class are considered medium-duty by the military and Department of Transportation. Additional detailed pictures of the exterior can be found in the photo gallery below.

The seats were recently reupholstered, while the rest of the cabin is believed to be largely original.

This truck transmits power through a factory dogleg 5-speed gearbox linked to a two-way transfer case with high and low settings. The 6X6 system and transmission are said to be fully operational.

Currently, the odometer shows 36,260 miles, though total mileage is unknown. The tachometer displays 1,301.7 engine hours, though it is unclear if that is correct.

Under the hood is a multi-fuel Hercules 478ci turbocharged inline-six, which was quoted at around 134 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque when new. The multi-fuel system allows the engine to operate reliably on a variety of fuels including diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil, gasoline, and more. Careful fuel mixture is required to properly lubricate the injector pump. An engine oil change was completed around three months ago, and a video of this M35A2 being driven is shown below:
