Are you sure M35A2 is a 6x6 truck?.
I wonder how come it’s 6x6 when AFV’s M35 A1 Gun Truck Vietnam is a 10x10
truck!, and I have one on show at:

hi , sorry to say but it is a 6x6 you do not count the outer 4 wheels it is relates to the driven axles , cheers ian

Are you kidding?. If that’s true then it’ll be very confusing for me. How come you
don’t count the outer 4 wheels when they are also driven by the same axles as
the 4 inner wheels?.

You dont count the outer wheels because they can be removed and replaced with 1 single heavy duty wheel and rim as on the 5 Ton cargo trucks

I find it less confusing to think of it as driven hubs not wheels.

Thanks everybody especially Fitter for providing the truck’s manual as an evidence.
I’ll have to accept that, however weird.

In regard to tricks, watch out for alignment when assembling the cab… i didn’t and fubarred the hell out of it. Quite a bit of needed surgery.

By the way, the Canuck version is truly 6x6; no dual wheels in the ****** end.
