Rockwells and other goodies came in today!
Well I guess I'll let the secret out of the bag -- Me and a friend of mine picked this up today in Columbia at Ft. Jackson..
its a "Duece and a half" 2.5 ton military truck -- 1967 Kaiser Jeep m35a2 6x6. Has a 6 cylinder turbo diesel built in 91, the engine is CLEAN..motor as 900 miles on it. Tires still have the **** on them its perfect! Little cab rust but that can be fixed..ordered new springs for it to lift it bout 4" so I can fit the 53s that were in the other thread..enough of the talk here is the beast!
this is how we got it off Ft. Jackson -- you couldnt drive it off we had to tow...
13,000 lbs. winch!
cant beat it tho for the price -- 1900 bucks, divorced tcase, diesel, rockwells built geared already..
what we are going to do is bob it..aka remove rear axle, make it a normal 4x4 on the 53s, flat black the whole thing probably fix rust add horns, air lines for quick disconnect...

yeah, it would be neat to know the history. i see some desert tan on parts of it. i wonder if its been in the sand box. where there any unit markings or anything on it?
