I searched for "HIAB" on MILDOCS.COM and got 11 hits, but most of them
are for the M977 8x8 truck equipped with the HIAB. The FSN number you
mentioned is not for an M35 at all, but a smaller civilian type truck
with a boom.
Perhaps the M35 was unofficially fitted with the HIAB?
Does any of this make sense?
Thanks!
