M35A2 cargo truck

[SLB_SA]

I am watching a live video  by attorney Steve Lehto and he mentions his love for the M35A2 2 1/2 Ton "Deuce and a half" military truck.  These standard transmission trucks can be purchased for $5000 (or more) but might need some work.  I am curious if anyone has converted one of these.  (In Fort Bragg, California, I saw a couple living in an old heavy military vehicle.  It was impressive.)

PS If this link is not good, I will post a working link later.

The link worked for me. I imagine LowTech will post as he uses military vehicles.

Not very efficient, or comfortable on the road, but would provide one heck of an off road "Overlander" build platform.

"The Deuce and a Half is a 2 ½ ton military beast with a 6-cylinder multi-fuel engine weighing in at over 13,000 lbs. The Deuce gets an average of 8-10 miles to the gallon with a 50-gallon tank with a maximum speed around 55 mph and can handle almost any kind of weather and terrain."
