PhotoSynth – M35 2.5 ton REO Cargo Truck
While at Weald Country Park with the Medieval Siege Society I came across this American Cargo Transport Vehicle parked up next to the battle field.
The M35 family of trucks is a long-lived vehicle initially deployed by the United States Army, and subsequently utilized by many nations around the world. A truck in the 2 1/2 ton weight class, it was one of many vehicles in US military service to have been referred to as the “deuce and a half.”
The basic M35 cargo truck can legally carry 5000 pounds across country or 10,000 pounds over roads, they have been known to haul twice as much as rated. Trucks in this weight class are considered medium duty by the military and Department of Transportation. The M35 series formed the basis for a wide range of specialized vehicles.
