I think i was as happy as you when 21 started. I hope you can find the time to film the work you do to these.

[@tomki6asp]

Clint of C&C Equipment may be able to help with parts. He repairs lots of military vehicles.

[@calumanderson5617]

Interesting purchases Blake, good to see you again and Miss Ivy, thank you for the video. 🙂🐶👍

[@Military-Museum-LP]

M35 A2 with a winch, rare. M35A2 with a White motor is the best!

[@ricdenali4213]

Keep us updated!!

[@cableup1]

Takes me back. That's what I cut my teeth on. We had a "fleet" too. Used them to load out square bales from the bottomland pastures because they got kind of mucky after an Okiehomie rain (Mowing is, after all, the most reliable rain dance). Couldn't just sit in it and drive. Set the throttle and get out and pitch bales with the other kids until we got to the wind row. I did bury one when I was about 12. Old man wasn't happy that I sank it to the pumpkins.He had me stay down there after dark moving the hay off of my truck to another one... by myself. That's how you learn to know when to get your foot out of the pedal.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Remember they don’t have lockers. In the deep snow they are limited. Get chains!

[@theda850two]

Good thing one of them had a heater box set up, you will likely want to have that in the rig you keep,, in good operating order :)

[@derrickrodvelt6508]

Plow truck! There is a military vehicle museum in Kearney Nebraska. Maybe they could help track down the history on truck 23.

[@charlesscott1493]

Thanks for the update Blake. Appreciate seeing what you're working on.

[@jerrykerler3010]

When you check the oil level cold, it will show to be approximately 1.5 > 2.0 qts over full. Proper method to check is to start and let it run for 3 or 4 minutes, shut down , wait about a minute and then check the oil level.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

That's really interesting, thanks

[@super6954]

Good to see you back again, I looked the other day to see if I'd missed a new update from you. Nice find on the trucks and good to see you got them run, that's half the battle right there . With all you guys with youtube channels buying these trucks Clint at C&C equipment's going to be running low on parts pretty soon L.O.L. Looking forward to more content from you, I've got regular Sunday morning go to channels, but saw this and came right here. Thanks for sharing, take care.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Parts are available EVERYWHERE and decent prices.

[@vietmanesemechanic6331]

I was in Vietnam 😆 😆 😆 I grew up seeing lots of them And played with lots of armor vehicles including trains and crane

[@jimmungai1938]

Absolutely love your dog he’s a playful little rascal anyway it’s neat you bought those trucks I don’t know what kind of money I go to have to pay for one and halfway decent running shape. Anyway, thank you again for saving those trucks and keep playing with that dog.

[@brianworley7705]

Good to see a new video Blake. Two out of 3 start and drive. Seems a good find to me. Keep us in the loop on your progress on these, and anything else video worthy for that matter.

[@Fred_Amyett]

We had a truck that looks just like these at the hand Grenade Range at Camp Bullis, TX. Very cool seeing some mostly put together I hope to drive one one day!

[@coldcaribbean]

Glad your back making videos Blake!

[@banjobenson9348]

Amazing you got them to start, I bet you could get a good snow plow out of one.

[@dlansburg2673]

Wind in Wyoming! I’m on the west coast of Wyoming,some days.Good luck on the trucks

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

I need some forklift help and a little birdie told me you're the guy to ask.

[@GuyinWY]

I sent you a message on instagram.

[@kenuber4014]

For more information and parts, get a hold of "Steel Soldiers" they are a form with a whole bunch of guys with unlimited knowledge and parts. Good luck Blake.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Guy

[@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer]

Yeeejjjj!! That guy from WY has found a new project!

[@canvids1]

Happy for you sir as these old trucks were built to take the hard knocks. The hard thing maybe for you is parts unless you got connections.

[@dannycrooks8462]

Fantastic to see another video

[@shalininaicker]

Great video content as always Blake.

[@lesphilaja5722]

Just like a kid in a toy shop before Christmas

[@sowerscattleco3484]

I love my 35 a2. They were alot cheaper when I bought mine. Definitely nice to have one around

[@wesleycameron1034]

WY rules!!! Good to see a Wyoming creator. Keep up the good work.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

I bought,fixed,and sold 10 of those when Obama was clearing out military "surplus". What you bought was called "remnants" back then. Missing a lot of parts. There is a surplus company near Texarkana Texas that will have all of the parts you will need. For the life of me I can't remember their name.Sorry.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Red River Parts and Equipment in New Boston Texas

[@D4x4Bronc]

There's also private people up north with parts

[@phildunne2632]

Never in doubt...God Bless America

[@allenbo8234]

I could be wrong but I think that date was 68.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

@@allenbo8234 if you are talking about the year model of the M-35 truck you could well be correct. Nice thing about the trucks is that the design was rarely changed and most all parts are interchangeable. Only oddity I ever saw was with former air force models: they had 2 brake master cylinders: 1 fails and there was a back up so they wouldn't roll into an airplane I guess.

[@jimschnars2866]

Multi fuel means only in emergency ! Gasoline burns injectors after two or three tanks of gasoline !

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

yup. Also supposed to add oil to gas. Can't remember ratio.

[@jimschnars2866]

The deuce and a half went maybe 50 with diesel and 55 with gas motor pool sgt weren’t happy !

[@beaseac]

I've always wanted one of those... Just no where to keep it! I am curious how they handle the snow!

[@tsommerfeld4932]

Great to see a new video from you Blake. I am excited to watch your progress.

[@wbball15]

That's the "More Later" that I needed

[@chuck2306]

they are a part of history love them

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

My uncle has a couple of trucks like that I’ve always wanted one maybe one day thanks for sharing

[@angryyank]

I will see if I can find and old glossary of the trucks that cameback from Nam... I may be wrong but I havent ever heard of a truck built in 66 going almost all were 1950's and very early 1960's builds.... I am in SE wyoming as well... Good ol goinsey here

[@josephcox4319]

Best source I've found is Boyce Equipment in Ogden Utah great folks to deal with and competitive prices.

[@jeepercreepers2]

I say keep both. I had a nice 69 m35a2. And I sold it about a year ago. Biggest mistake ever. And currently looking for it back. Definitely fun old historical trucks. Nothing beats that turbo screaming

[@Hjerte_Verke]

But there's 3? Did my eyes deceive me?

[@jimmybritt9537]

Very nice find 👍👍🇺🇸

[@billjenkins687]

There's a wealth of information on these trucks. Please save them. I'd come take one off your hands but my car hauler is full until I buy a house in Colorado. Nearby!!!

[@billgardner9328]

My son has turned 3 of these into water trucks. He had to move them out of Calif due to smog laws. Reliable strong trucks

[@glennahoopes2895]

If you get an air presser guage in you'll probably get your parking brake back and build up the pressure. With it open in the dash your losing air.

[@450moto9]

Parking brake is cable driven not air

[@brianmilliard6998]

Do those make good plow trucks ?

[@charlesdorman7519]

In reference, too #23, on the right front corner of the front bumper, will indicate the military unit the 23 belong too, providing it did go to Vietnam, on the left front bumper, will read, in a example A-64 , meaning the truck belong in "A" company, truck # 64! Then Google that information, which will/will not show the travel history of the that unit to & from Vietnam!

[@mrbill8542]

Would sure make a heck of a snow plow with a set of chains and a load in the bed !!!

[@aurktman1106]

I probably drove or was around one of those back in the early - mid 90's. Any idea what WYARNG unit they came from?

[@infernoking7504]

As long as they have fuel compression and aren't locked up they will run on just about anything.

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Interesting~What does your wife say about this merchandise? Missed you keep up the vids. Thanks Blake

[@stephendoing2253]

i would build a shipping container shop around the 3.

[@wagon9082]

Good video

[@mfddb3084]

Where can I buy one of these trucks?

[@chuck2306]

not sure the military would keep the records after being sold

[@Hjerte_Verke]

You're off by ten years. The 1966 truck is only 57 years old 😀🤭

[@D4x4Bronc]

None of those trucks went into war all those ones were scrapped with all their good parts on it. Check the forums.

[@user-yf5xs6lq4q]

just a thought take a truck and make it a parts truck

[@Michael-tq5il]

Me like. 👍👍
