COMPLETE BODY OFF CUSTOM RESTORATION!!
*This truck was an amazing find. It came out of El Toro MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station), so it was always a West Coast truck. And being a Marine Corps truck used at an Air Station means that it was always well maintained.
We purchased it in a lot of trucks from one of the largest and most reputable suppliers of military equipment to Hollywood and the Movie Industry in general.
The Title and Data Tag show that this truck as a 1966, which was when it was originally manufactured, but as you can see from the below pictures, it received a complete overhaul by the Military in July of 1985 (new engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, etc.).
It was sold by the military in April of 1999 when it only had 19,068 miles on it.
Between April of 1999 and today, it has only been driven a total of 11 miles - 3 of them by me. We then tore it completely down and overhauled it all over again to bring it up to our standards. Total document miles on this truck since the day it was manufactured is 19,079, and total hours are just 759 - amazing!!
We have too many man hours to count painstakingly restoring this truck to make it run/look as good (or better) than it did when it first rolled off the assembly line!
NOTE: (to comply with eBay, DoD and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Part 121): No weapons, ammunition or un-demilitarized hardware in this No Reserve Auction.
 
 
Complete body off the frame restoration done on this truck - countless hours of work to make it perfect!
Almost every major and minor mechanical part has been put on new or rebuilt - from all the wheel bearings (inner and outer), axle seals and brakes to the Injection/Lift Pump, Injectors, Air Lines, most of the Wiring, Gaskets, Hoses, Fluids, Alternator and Batteries!
PLUS; Completely Stripped/Blasted and Painted from top to bottom THIS MONTH!

These trucks make fantastic "go-absolutely-anywhere" military RV's or Hunting Rig's!!
We've been completely through the motor, pulled the cargo box off and blasted the frame and the body and then painted it from the ground up. Everything gets 2 coats of Primer and 3 coats of flat paint before the stenciling goes back on. The cargo box and fender wells get "gooped" with a commercial 2-part rustproof/undercoating that makes for an excellent sound dampening material as well.
The interior, engine compartment and undercarriage receive as much prep and attention prior to painting as the body did, so this truck looks better today than when it rolled off the assembly line in 1966.
Back together, this truck is HUGE and very capable - it would be almost impossible to get this truck stuck - the 6-wheel drive means it is sure-footed on just about any terrain. Even with the size of this truck though, it is surprising easy to drive. The steering is easier than a stock deuce because we replaced the steering box and you can literally turn the wheel with one finger at any speed.
There's way too much work to break down and list here, but see the more than 250 high resolution pictures for more details.
Clear Title on hand! You can register this truck immediately for on-street use!!

We can ship this truck to you anywhere in the lower 48 States for an average of $1.65 to $2.40 per mile (our City, State and Zip is; San Clemente, CA 92673).
Cost largely depends on what part of the Country you are in and the large difference in the per-mile range is that this is a tall truck at 10' 8'', so your state may have height issues and we will either have to find a Double-Drop or RGN Trailer to make sure that it is low enough, or pull overheight permits for the whole trip.
The trucking company will charge a $800 minimum on average, and distances over 500 miles will cost you less per mile. Ramps will be included with this move.
Shipping paid for by buyer.

Please read entire description before you bid!
Hard to find like-new 1966/1985 M109/M35A2 military 6X6 2 1/2 ton shop van/cargo truck with Multi-Fuel Motor and 6-Wheel Drive. The exterior is extremely nice, recently blasted and professionally painted with Military Olive Drab Paint.
EXCELLENT tires - they are all 80 to 100%!
Starts well (always fires right up on the first crank) and runs great! No leaks that we can detect and everything works like it should.
Fully insulated cargo/van body is in great condition with full rustproofing/undercoating and absolutely NO major OR minor problems that we are aware of.
Cargo Compartment is Ready to be Configured for Whatever you Plan to do with it!
It's wired for either 24 Volt power for the lights and exhaust fan, or 110V power via a generator cable inlet. Lights can be set to normal nighttime operation or for black-out conditions.
The guys were not able to turn the lights on, and I did not have time to try myself - so either all of the bulbs are burned out (unlikely), or they just weren't hitting the right switches.
Plenty of room to put a bed or a couple of bunks, a small kitchenette or whatever you can think of! All windows are intact and open - and all have steel shutters and screens.
There is evidence of some patching done on the roof, but we've been through a couple of rainstorms with this truck and have not seen it leak even a single drop.
Both rear doors open to accept larger cargo, and both can be opened from the inside.
Boarding ladder is not included (I just don't have one on hand, and this truck didn't come with it)!
NOTE THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE CARGO BED IS A WHOPPING/SHOULDER-STRAINING 50-1/2" OFF THE GROUND!! PERFECT FOR GROCERIES;-)
PLUS;
All High-Use/High Traffic Areas (Tool Box, Interior Floorboards, Exterior Steps, Front Bumper Top, etc.) are Bed Lined for Durability and Ease of Keeping them Clean;
After a day in the mud with this truck, get your hose out, spray it down and as soon as it dries, valet park it at the nicest restaurant in town and have a nice dinner. I guarantee that it will be left out front waiting for you after dinner - both for the attention it will draw AND for the fear you'll see in the valet's eyes at the thought of trying to park it!
MILITARY TIRES
Titan T-Hawk 9.00-20's with Tubes
All ten (10) tires are in great shape, hold air and range from 80 to 100% tread.
MATCHING SPARE
The tread on the spare is only 40% I would estimate, but I have hundreds of these tires on the same wheels in stock, so if you would like more for spares, we'll give you up to 10 additional tires mounted on wheels painted to match for no extra charge
INTERIOR AND ENGINE
Engine Compartment
SOME MORE PICTURES
Note that the entire cargo/shop body has been undercoated with rust proofing, sound deadening and insulating material - and it is grounded, so at some point it must have been used as a command and control or at least a radio / communications truck. The underside of the front fenders are also coated.
And Last but Not Least (since we spent as much time under this truck as we did on it or in the engine compartment;-)... The undercarriage has also be stripped, sand blasted, prepped, primed and painted to look as new as it was when it rolled off the assembly line...
Undercarriage
ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM AREAS THAT WE ARE AWARE OF - AND WE HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY THROUGH THIS TRUCK INSIDE AND OUT!
Ready to go to work (or PLAY;-) for you immediately!
NOT A COUPLE OF GUYS MESSING AROUND IN A GARAGE PART TIME...

Characteristics and Specs for the M35A2 series of trucks
The M35 family of trucks is a long-lived vehicle initially deployed by the United States Army, and subsequently utilized by many nations around the world. A truck in the 2 1/2 ton weight class, it was one of many vehicles in US military service to have been referred to as the "deuce and a half." The basic M35 cargo truck can carry 5000 pounds across country or 10,000 pounds over roads. Trucks in this weight class are considered medium duty by the military and Department of Transportation. The M35 series formed the basis for a wide range of specialized vehicles.
The M35 started out in 1949 as a design by the REO Motor Car Company. The first vehicle in the family, the M34, was quickly superseded in military usage by the M35, the major difference being the M35's 10-tire configuration versus the M34's 6-tire "super-singles" configuration.
An M35A2 cargo truck with winch is 112" tall, 96" wide and 277" long, 13,530 pounds empty, 13,050 pounds empty without winch. The standard wheelbase cargo bed is 8'x12'. The M35A2 was available with an optional canvas soft top or a metal hard top. Metal hard-top configurations are most often found on vehicles that have been equipped with cold-weather gear, including additional insulation in the cab, as well as engine coolant or multifuel-fired cab personnel heaters.
The M35A2 is powered by a Hercules, Continental or White LDT-465, in-line 6 cylinder, turbocharged multifuel engines with 134 bhp (100 kW) and 330 lb·ft (447 N·m) of torque. This is coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission and divorced 2-speed transfer case (Either a sprague-operated transfer case (Rockwell 136-21) or air-operated selectable transfer case - Rockwell 136-27). Multifuel engines are designed to reliably operate on a wide variety of fuels, to include diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, heating oil or gasoline. Gasoline should only be used in an emergency because it does not properly lubricate the injector pump. While using gasoline, common practice calls for the addition of at least 1 quart of clean motor oil per 15 gallons of gasoline for proper pump lubrication where available.
The curb weight of an M35 is between 13,000 and 13,700 pounds empty, depending on configuration. Its top speed is 56 mph (90 km/h), though maximum cruising speed is approximately 48 mph (77 km/h). Fuel economy is 11 MPG highway and 8 MPG city, giving the deuce a 400-500 mile range on its 50 US gallon single fuel tank. On average, most operators experience tank averages of 8-10 mpg for an unladen vehicle.
Brake system is air-over-hydraulic six wheel drum with a driveline parking brake, although gladhands exist on the rear of the vehicle for connection to trailers with full air service and emergency brakes. Braking performance of the truck is similar to other power drum brake vehicles of this size. Each drum was designed with maximum efficiency in mind, and individual drums can dissipate up to 12 kW of braking heat. Due to this brake system and GVWR under 26,001 pounds, the big deuce can be driven without a commercial driver's license in most states.
The electrical system is 24 volt, using two 12 volt batteries run in series.
