Awesome truck. Rode in one once, crazy climbing ability.

That 5 gallon Jerry can...for those times when you need to get an extra 60 yards down the road.

Hello everybody. I have a Deuce that belonged to the Brazilian Army. Here it is just called REO M-35. It was manufactured in 1963, used by the US Army and sold to Brazil as a surplus. It served my country's land force for many years until it was decommissioned and auctioned. Today he is at the service of our college here. It is the school's mascot and adored by our students. I am very happy to see so many enthusiasts around the world of this magnificent truck.

Brings back memories when I was in the Massachusetts Air National Guard and I got to drive a deuce and a half. Great video should have started the truck up. Thank you Roger from Miami Beach

I recently bought a running 1966 Deuce & 1/2 for $1525 from a GSA auction. It is also equipped with a 900-gallon water tank and pump and makes a great off-road fire truck. Couldn't be happier!

I have a 1968 M35A2. I love my truck. I use it and abuse it moving things around my property and running errands. It was my daily driver for the first year I owned it.

HELL YES A M35A2 IS AWESOME. I OWN A 1966 BOBTAILED MULTI FUEL, RUNS GREAT, PAINTED IN WWII REMEMBRANCE COLORS

The pinions, front and rear are not to add axles, but to make the axles interchangeable. All 3 axles are the same, with a front and rear pinion. You can take any of the 3 axles and put it in any position, front or rear. You bust an axle, you just take any good axle off another busted truck. COOL RIDE!

See, when you make the best out of every situation you sometimes get to see or experience things that you might have never seen or heard of otherwise
Those home edition videos are a great idea to bring the community together, thanks to everyone who participated :-)

He gets 10 out of 10!!!..Awesome military truck...love the big 6 cyl motor...nice.

[charlesschneider]

I drove an M35A2 in the army. Even in sub-zero weather, we never used ether to start. Ours had a glow plug set up that pre-heated the fuel. When nothing else would start, the Deuce would.

[NealBickler]

Drove this one for 6 years for Army Reserve. One hell- of-a truck!!

[marke]

I've got many miles of driving a Deuce when I served. !0 wheel drive at the flip of a switch (it will knock smaller trees down!) and snuck me off to some good fishing places no other truck could (Shhhh they frown on that), the Jeeps were fun too.

[billybrinsfield]

I remember Driving and Working on them when I was in the Army, drove one Many Times in the Gulf War, brings back a Lot of Memories 😊

[revgordon]

One word: BEAST! There's a reason that truck was made for the military.

[knightwing]

That truck brought back some fun memories. I drove one and a 109 van when I was in the army. For those who don’t know what a 109 van is it’s a deuce with box on the back to make it a portable shop. It has a big shop table, cabinets and heat in it. Some people covert them to overland campers. I loved them both. Great truck dude and thanks for the memories.

[KDuboutdoors]

Love driving mine. It has become sort of a local celebrity. Getting flood victims out of their homes and clearing downed trees. They respond well to fuel pump adjustments. Mine doesn't care what you put in the bed. It just rides smoother with 6 ton of gravel in it.

[ffjsb]

Couple of things, that's a 24v system, not 12. You can run gasoline, but you have to use a 15:1 ratio of gas to oil to lubricate the injectors.

[garymathena]

Best truck ever made, drove one for 7 years.

You can purachase a kit for these trucks that will tie your air into the steering system to give you air assisted Steering, which is almost as good as regular power steering.
