That's not too loud...that's the sound of freedom! 🇺🇸

A few years ago a buddy of mine let me use his deuce for the weekend to haul the travel baseball team to a local tournament. The kids and the parents eyes lit up when I pulled in the parking lot to pick them up!!! Loaded all the kids in the troop seats, under the cargo cover and off we went. Made the turn into the baseball complex and all the games came to a stop. How could you not stop and look when you hear a straight pipe coming down the road? Pulled up to our field and a coach from a neighboring town team said "if a baseball team comes out of the back of that, I'm going to crap my pants". I looked over at him and said, "coach, get your toilet paper ready".

Father of the year right here!!! He will never forget moments like this

Damn all the deuce owners be jealous of that cup holder 😂 now I need one.

It's good to see he's wearing the proper foot attire.

That M35 is clean! The nicest I’ve seen in a long time. Also, that grenade shift knob.

im already in my 40s but i wish he's my dad

Drove one from 1966-68 in Germany it had a studabaker strait 6 no supercharger, drove on the Autobahn flat out this video brought back a flood of memories, love this video thank you

One day, ONE DAY, I’ll have Deuce and a Half for myself.

I can't get over the fact that he is driving that in flip flops😂😂

You know... It *MAY* Be Loud, But you're Just showing American Proud! Hell Yeah.

The BEST Truck & Sound...❤...I LOVE IT! Greetings from Germany 👍🏻

Love the sound of them! My Dad was stationed in Alabama when they came out. I was in the 5th grade then. First ones didn't have superchargers and smoked like mad. We joked that they were using Peanut oil for fuel. Yes, they will run on Peanut Oil! They will run on almost any liquid that burns.

I love that he is driving it in flip flops haha

20 years ago I saw 30 of these standing on reserve parking in Air Force Base I was serving, just sitting on sand under eucalyptus trees. The maintenance guy would start everyone of these trucks and drive forward and backward like 5 meters (like 20 feet) once a week. The guy would bring a paint bucket and would scrap off bad paint and paint with a freaking brush... We still got these in reserve duty. Every time there is a mess going on with reserve being called to duty, you can see these carrying army stuff, which happens too often here in Israel... Here we don't call these trucks deuce and a half, they are called Reo or Reos

An ex -military cop will most like will let you slide on the noise part. When they are empty you got brakes. When they are loaded you got slows. You got love the armstrong steering. Most people don't know you can drive over 8 inch trees with those M35s. Or a Mercedez SEL. Drove HHB HQ 63 all over Germany in the 60s towing a ammo trailer. You can grab 1st a lot easier stopped. Not synced.. I don't remember using low range. Never had to tow a tank with it. But a 3/4 ton buried to frame still did not need it.

I drove one of these when I served in the army in Taiwan in 1978-1980. I also trained recruits to drive this beast. I want to drive one again before I die.

You must have bypassed the fuel density compensator& turned up the injector pump! That thing accelerates! 👍👍🙌

Brings back great memories! I was tossed into a deuce and half when arrived at Fort Hood as a new soldier back in 1995. I was in a mostly all male unit and so I wanted to make sure I could drive any and all vehicles. I got licensed on this, the 5 ton, HMMWV, and a bobtail and trailer. Good times!

That's awesome. I had a Deuce 10 years ago. Sold it and now I'm buying another. I remember when I would drive mine to work, people always asked questions about it and they liked it. I got pretty good at shifting in it, granted I should've been since I was daily driving it. It was my favorite truck, it beats any lifted 4x4 hands down in the bad ass category and with good tires, the offroad performance was astounding.

You're a thoughtful owner. I also try not to fire up my M813 in the wee hours of the morning, especially on weekends.

You are the best at shifting that I have seen on here!

Definitely not too loud. Just right! Beautiful Machine!

Cant wait to get my own one day. Until then, I'll have to live my dream through your video. Thank you for this!

That grenade shift knob is awesome!

This reminds me of when I was in Grade 5 (around 1989) and my dad brought me to school in his 1941 open-cab Bickle-Seagrave.

Such a good dad.

When I was first Assigned to Ft Hood back in 97 to a cav unit that’s what we had before we transitioned over to these MTV’s

imagine being the kid that takes his date to prom in a deuce

Amazing father !! That's so badass

Awesome dad! Nice gear shifter!

He's driving my crazy, He spends more time looking back at the camera, then looking where he's going.

I'm looking at an m35a2 Saturday. Can't wait to see if I'll make it mine.

Damn the old Vietnam era duces with the Hercules multi fuel wher slow and gutless but where tough as a nail and reliable as your favorite hammer could take all the abuse would run on anything flammable my personal experience is military diesel or kerosene and jet fuel works but the one they had the roughest time with and wore engines out quick was the 100 octane aviation fuel. Hit stuff but these old trucks had the best sound and I personally liked the non turbo trucks they smoke more then a coal train and sound like a old john deer 4230 and that cooling fan hum atwot on the Governor is just fantastic. Boy I bet it was hell in Vietnam trying to be stealthy with these trucks. I read that's why they made a turbo model to stop alot if the smoke so the enemy dosent see you coming in a big smoke screen but if you dont hear this truck from miles and know what it is then your deaf and pretty dumb awesome trucks tho I had a m35a2 but sold it and have a 70 52a2 tractor witch is pointless it's so gutless you cant haul much and have ti be on flat ground or you will run out if power on a hill and stall and be 5mph in low. But classics always been my favorite military trucks besides the mid 80s military Chevy square body m1008 and m1028 dually with the gutless but still a great engine if you like GM or just automotive enthusiast. In the military and square body history 2 birds one chevy lol

This sounds like my grandpa's old farm tractors, I love it!

M35 and flip-flops. He just needs a pair of sunglasses and a hawaian shirt. ;)

drove these back then non of us used the granny low on pavement

I love the sound of this truck….so cool😎

Brilliant video man can you please do more like this one only a lot longer, but make the RPM up shifts even higher because that would sound amazing. Stay safe have a good one.

this dude can drive an M35 pretty damnd well that's for sure. its a lot harder than it looks.

Drove one in Desert Storm. Always tached high and started in 2nd.

Driving a deuce in flip flops, what a legend

That's a nice truck! It appears that you start it in first, run up the gears, then skip fourth to go to fifth. I've never driven an A2 myself (spoiled with the automatic in my A3), but most of the time I started my dad's M37 in second. Your truck sounds nice. Thanks for sharing!

Hey! Good truck!

I want that machine so bad. Gotta stop watching deuce videos.

Holy shit... this video reminds me of my military life. I did job in army with M35 Korean version lol

That is awesome driving the Deuce to school and not too loud

Is school in the next state over? LOL Wow, brings back a ton of memories. U.S.Army 85-89 Drove these thing all over Germany.

GAT DAYUM THAT THING SOUNDS GOOD 😂

I have the same cup holders in my deuce! I see you like to use the first gear. It’s a hell of a long push to unhook that first and wander half a mile up to second! Lol. I have no idea why the granny gear is so far from the rest of the gears. I don’t think I’ve used it more than a handful of times because it is sooo low. That first was more or less for getting a load moving so it isn’t required to be used for most daily driving. If you ever feel like really getting some juice out of the old LD, you can safely turn the fuel all the way up (contrary to what others on forums will tell you). You won’t cook a piston unless you pull a long hill at full throttle under 1800 RPM. You may get a few spikes in your EGTs but nothing damaging unless you’re being very careless. I’ve been driving my truck fully fueled for 5 years now and it has been flawless. I’m able to accelerate up to 69 mph (on 46s) much faster that a deuce should be able to go. I’m able to drift (barely) in a gravel corner and I’m able to pass a car on the highway without much difficulty. No downshifting required. It’s amazing how much power the old Herc can make with a little more fuel.

You need to put in a pyrometer, bypass the fuel density compensator and turn up the pump. I set my pump with 6 ton of stone in the bed and pulled the biggest hill in town. Just about 1200 degrees max. Anything more than that and it will melt shit. I put Hewitt industries 24volt units in both of mine. 1 is stock, 1 is borderline insane asylum.

Brilliant vid..👌👍

Awesome shifting Brother❤🎉.

Ain't nothing like the sound of a Detroit!

Nice. Good perspective.

Nice! Btw, I didn’t know which series you have but the clutch isn’t needed when you are already moving. If you choose to use the clutch when pushing it hard it’s a good idea to double clutch. Nice rig!

I’d have loved that as a daily driver in school I’ve always loved trucks anyway.

4:59 imagine just being at traffic congestion and everyone you pass just looks up at you😂

Awesome!!🤙🏾🤙🏾😎

When I was in the army, I saw lots of this beast. Most of them was made in 1935. They work as a new ones.

What size tires are you running? Seems like your gears are running tall.

LOL...never sen anyone drive a deuce while wearing flip flops !....KUDOS DUDE !

My other question is- It seems like the 4-yard ford dump truck I drove for the state that was diesel. On that you had to get your rpm way up before you shift. I think you find out shifting will be much smother. Big trucks like high rpm when shifting.

Float that thing brother! Thats how they were made to be driven. Save on that clutch

Love it !!!!

Hey there’s no such thing as too loud with the M35😂😎! Love the truck man👍

Great Video Dad,

theirs one for sale near me for 5k im really thinking about it after seeing this

What a cool way to get a ride to school

Can you make a video please how you shift the gears? Im european and to me its seems really wierd when you shift.

Nice driving & truck..

Is this a great view of that weird shift pattern!!! 4th gear comes back right next to 3rd so when in 5th gear run in top speed a guy in the middle seat doesn't have the shifter between his legs or bouncing off his knees!!!

Is that the stock muffler on that truck??? Sounds amazing!

I am your first subscriber and your first comment but I can not speak English very much

What a sound ;))

I am on my 40s as well but I'll make it happen for my son👍

How many gears does the truck have?

Cool memories being made.

I want to drive one so bad. ❤

Why does that transmission have 4th gear in the bottom right?

My dad used to drop me to school on a deuce, i was only 5 years old at the time.. one day ill get one and get to drop my kids to school in the future with a deuce

Great vid. 0:05 was that seatbelts? Hoping the kid learns to drive and maintain. Great truck for "date night" taking to A&W for a root beer, or to a drive-in movie (showing my age) with a couch or recliners in the bed, not having to worry about getting in an accident. OMG would be miserable in stop and go traffic.

I felt like the pet in the middle of the two 👍

nice shift knob!

Lol sounds like a faster and much more powerful 250 cummins Lol. That was in 40s to 60s rigs! Only little power and it was a real slow and loud engine. 60mph I believe they went. We got a 48 Kenworth with one at the job we pulled out and restored. We got a wrecker body we may install on it. This truck sounds like a old Cummins a lot. I think they have their own engines for em. But I do think some came with Cummins or Detroit 2 stroke diesels

Haha the looks are real! People are either pointing giving you the thumbs up or laughing their arses off. Doesn’t matter the vehicle I’ve been in Ferrets CMP’s Land Rovers Landcruisers. Little kids pointing and getting all excited are the best I used to be that little kid

What rpm is 55mph?

But think of it like this, to fix things on it you have to make it yourself or get it made

""MAKE-IT SING OUTLOUD, ""SHIFT-IT WITHOUT THECLUTCH""!!!!!

How far away from school does this kid live?

Should look into changing the turbo to the C variant, get that whistle goin. Really piss off the neighbors.

Why yes, it’s the truck Rambo dateless and drove ❤

Loud, but sounds nice :) Would love to have a go in one of those things. But to drive anything similar to the m35, i need a CDL which is pretty much unaffordable to me.

Dam I always got stuck driving because I was the only one who knew how to drive that thing. But then, I got into most restricted areas w it.

Wow that sounds better than a hybrid..

How i buy it? also i want a Unarmed Apache for go to the school

“Yeah, my dad’s Rambo”

That thing is bad ass

Awesomeness

is that in high range all the time? the rpm transition from 3rd to 4th gear is so far
