Dig the M35's . Like the M800 series trucks too. These trucks can still be had at government auctions reasonably priced.

Without getting sent to detention for punching the teacher ( old story... 'nother time ) the gears are 6.71:1....all of them...no other option on the 2.5 ton rockwells.....the 53" tires just make it streetable in the non-parade or military convoy sense of the word.
How do I know ???? One of my 475 projects in the last 40 yrs was a flip body mud jeep with rockwell axles......
