Hello
I'm looking information about M35a2 Truck in OIF. I don't know if US Army still use those trucks or not. Many thanks by every photos (specially converted to gun trucks).
Thank You
Chris

Just as we answered in your identical post from two days ago (which is about half-way down on this page)...

There are not many M35A2s left in Iraq now, and the few that are here are unarmored and not used off the FOBs. Not many were turned into guntrucks either. The Army was phasing them out as OIF began. Most units had the M1078 LMTV already. 3 ID did draw a bunch from PrePositioned (PrePo) stocks in Kuwait during the initial invasion, but most follow-on units brought their LMTVs.

These are no longer US, but were given to the IA. There were about 12 in altogether in the company I worked with. The two gun mounts you see usually had PK's added:
