Description
We were offered this Vietnam War M35 “Deuce and a Half” by a supporter of the channel — and the price was too tempting to ignore.
There was just one problem…
It didn’t run.
The previous owner had already tried to fix it and eventually gave up. The truck was left sitting at Mathewsons auction house in Pickering, and Adam and Billy headed north to recover it back to the farm.
Once home, the real challenge began.
Hours of fault finding, testing and head scratching eventually led me to the injector pump — and what we discovered was the root of the problem.
Could we bring this famous US Army workhorse back to life?
After everything, we finally take it for a proper test drive… and of course, end the day the right way 🍻
