Welcome to Bob's Toy Page
This is my latest Toy Project,
It is a 1967 Kaiser Jeep M35A2
Also Known as a Deuce and a Half
It is a 6x6 powered by a Turbo Charged LDT465-D Multifuel
Engine,
It prefers to run on Diesel, but will run on just about any fuel that
you
can burn. (Gas, Kerosene, Fuel Oil, etc)
The ""D" is the Turbo generation, It is an oversized turbo, and MUCH
quiieter
than the Whistler Turbo......
It also has the military shaft driven 10,000 lb. wench on
the
front.
It is a nice little "go anywhere" vehicle.
Why did I buy something like this? Because it looked
neat,
and I really didn't expect to win the Auction on E-bay when I bid
on it. Yes, I bought it on E-bay. I had to fly up to New
Jersey to pick it up, and drove it home to Florida. The trip took
3 days of driving at about 8 hours each day. Top speed is only
55 MPH, and you have to take a break every couple hours, or it will
beat
you to pieces.
Here are a couple new pictures to give you some size
perspective Deuce vs. my Toyota 4 x 4
It is just a little bigger......
And, I've added to my Collection,
This is a 1970 AM General M35A2C Deuce and a Half I picked up a short
while ago, It is currently hanging out in Vidalia Georgia at my
Uncle's farm.
The Blue Tarp is to cover a couple tears in the Cab Top Canvas.
I've got a replacement for the top, as well as a rear
cargo cover, Just need to get to Georgia and put
them on.
It is just about the same as the Kaiser-Jeep version (Military
Requirements for Parts interchangability) but it doesn't
have a Wench. Other than not having a wench, it has the LDT465-C
version multi-fuel motor like the Kaiser-Jeep, but this one
has the whistler turbo.... You are not going to sneak up on somebody
with the Whistler Turbo......
The other main difference is in the cargo bead, the "C" revision is a
"drop
side" bed. If you took the sides / troop seats and cargo cover
off,
you can fold the sides down for easier cargo access.
