Hi Roo,
thought I would post these for you and the gang here,they were sitting on the backburner on one of my drives.They are post war,the very truck that I grew up with(m35)in Germany and in Gagetown NB.

Thought I`d give you a little more work to do(as if you don`t have enough to do already),feel free to move them if they`re not in the right place.

Thanks for the photo. This is the first truck that I drove whole in training in the Army. We were one of the last classes to be trained on these old trucks. Went to the M-35 A1 and the M-54's after that.

Russ I will shift them later today to the reference section and relink the pic in your post at the same time and clear your gallery space at the same time.

Don't worry about giving me this extra work as I am "stuck in a rut" over good truck pics. :-)

Thanks Roo and glad I was able to bring back some memories for you Animal. I did manage to ride in the back of one of these 6x`s in central Germany when I was a kid. We lived up above the Sorpezee Dam and during one winter blizzard our school clinabus(VW van) couldn`t even begin to negotiate the hill so an M35 was called in,it crawled 3/4 the way up before it couldn`t do anymore.We had to hoof it through the chestdeep snow from there,oh,did I mention we were kindergarten kids going home!
Love the coloured shot Matt,thanks.
