Ok guys. I have a new truck. I put a deposit down yesterday at the War and Peace show at Beltring, Paddock Wood in Kent.
I have been after one of these for over 10 years and have now bought one. Here is the skinny on the truck.
She is a AM General M35A2 (I can now justify my forum name)
She has a LDT-465-1C 6lt 6cyl Turbocharged MULTIFUEL diesel engine producing 140BHP.
She is a 6x6 truck with an air shift front diff. Rear wheels driven for normal conditions.
5 speed trans with 2 speed transfer case.
9.00x20 tyres
Net weight 13,030Lbs
Gross Highway weight 23,030Lbs
Gross cross-country 18,030Lbs
Payload Highway 10,000Lbs
Payload cross-country 5,000Lbs
Towed Highway 10,000Lbs, cross country 6,000Lbs
She runs on diesel,petrol,avgas,paraffin and/or a mixture of all fuels (including engine oil and veg)
She does 60MPH at 2500RPM, but that's the MAX speed. She will do about 10MPG. I will go around 45MPH
She has been in storage at a dealers yard since the 1990's when he bought her from Germany on her release from uncle sams service. She is un-registered, so I have to do that. BUT, she is Tax and MOT exempt. She comes with a new cab canvas and rear load cover, troop seats, manifold heater, air shift front diff, new west coast mirrors, new windscreen glass etc,etc.
I pick her up next Friday. I can't wait. What do you guys think???
