Planning on moving so sadly "The Deuce" must go. Put a plow on this truck and you'll have a real snow mover or take her to the woods to haul out where your two or four wheel drive just can't go. Also has PTO. You'll also own a piece of history. This is the famous M35a2 "Deuce and a half" that for many years was the work horse of the U.S. military. Upon retirement from the military this truck became a tanker for the Branson Missouri Fire Department before being imported to Canada. Power is provided by a White LDT 465 Turbocharged Multifuel engine that was designed to burn diesel, gasoline, kerosene or jet fuel. (Many Deuce owners run them on used motor oil or waste vegetable oil) When the front axle air locker is engaged you have 6 wheel drive that is available through the high or low range transfer case to the Rockwell axles. The engine in this truck was just professionally replaced so all fluids and filters are fresh. The engine that was replaced is included and will provide many usable spare parts. Also included in the sale are two spare tires mounted on rims. The truck starts and runs well. Two new batteries. Interesting trades considered.

Almost missed this thread, a classic by any measure of the word, red paint explained through fire service.In the 1980s Bombardier produced a M35 variant for our Military. They featured an Allison MT-643 automatic transmission, and a 500 CID Detroit Diesel engine.
great old rig,nice to see the old multifuel moter still in it.They are refurbishing them now in the u.s with a cat diesel motor and an Allison automatic.Converting the rear duals to super singles.There is a fellow out my way importing them from fort hood,texas.Average bill to the govt for refurbishing is about 90,000,he is buying them at auction between 15-20,000 and importing them into Canada.I would love one of these for hauling the wifes concession trailer around.
I came across a deuce and a half in northern sask. It was abandoned by an exploration company that he gone broke. By the look of the camp where the truck was no one had been there in years,everything was trashed. I crawled in the cab, turned on the master power switch and cranked it over. It started right away. Was a detroit diesel. Yes I did take it for a little drive lol. The truck is still there today.
