The M35A2 is a U.S. Army 2.5 ton truck. Nicknamed the “Deuce and a half,” this vehicle’s family has served since the 1950s. There are several variants of the vehicle, the largest difference being the M35A3 is an upgraded M35A2 with an automatic transmission. 1965 saw the release of the multifuel engine, and production stopped in 1993.
These are very sturdy vehicles, and U.S. citizens can buy them as surplus. While the Army has phased them out of service, the National Guard still uses them.
