Cons:
Harder to take apart than G-742 trucks.
Harder to find parts for than G-742 trucks.
There is more bogus information about the transmission in these trucks than
there is real information about them.
Pros:
Unique styling.
Automatic Transmission.
Much quieter than M35A2.
Better ride than M35.
Really cool spare tire carrier.
Historically, has unique place in post-WWII tactical trucks.....watch for
book (eventually)
Before buying:
Make sure that the truck will drive, and back up, check both.
If truck doesn't run, verify that the water cooled transmission has not
frozen and burst.
Before putting a wrench on the truck:
BUY the manuals, and follow them (as opposed to old wive's tales).
Hope this helps,
David Doyle
