ARMED FORCES IN THE 1950'S, AND HAS BECOME THE UBIQUITOUS MILITARY

REO, STUDEBAKER, KAISER-JEEP, AND AM-GENERAL (THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS
TRUCK). THE M35 WAS DESIGNED TO FORD WATER DEPTHS UP TO THE AIR INTAKE
ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, OR BE COMPLETELY SUBMERGED WITH ADDITIONAL

MOVING WATER CROSSINGS. THE M35A2 WILL BURN DIESEL, GAS OR KEROSENE.

DEDICATION
OF AMERICA'S ARMED FORCES WHO ROLLED THESE TRUCKS TO PRESERVE OUR
LIBERTY.
