HMMMM yea the M35 is the most common one to find on the market. I served from 74-96, Armor! To the best of my knowledge they didn't come with an auto or Cat. The early ones used a multi fuel engine and later they were upgraded with a turbo "clean air " diesel. The trucks that came out with the auto were 5 tons not the 2 1/2 ton "deuce and a half". When the drawdowns in the early 90's started the army got rid of all their 2 1/2 tons because there were enough of the new 5 tons to go around and the 2 1/2T were a very old fleet.

They did have an air compressor and used the hydrovac brake booster with hydraulic brakes. No power steering, 5 speed tranny with 2 speed aux gear box. Heater was an add on too. The early ones had an air controlled actuator to engage the front wheels while, the later ones used a sprag unit that kicked in the front axle automatically. If they did upgrade it too a Cat/auto I never saw one and I did not see one after 93 at all except in the PDO yard. It is possible that guard units had up graded units that took avanatage of the draw downs and the extra engines and trannys that were in the supply system.
