Kevin,
I, too, have never seen any documentation to suggest that the M35A2 was produced after 1978. However, I have seen a few trucks that came out with date of manufacture listed as the date of rebuild. I would bet that this is what you have.
Good example...Joe Young has a Mack 5 ton that says it is a 1975. The depot rebuild year was 1975 (clearly indicated on the dash with a depot rebuild data plate -- never have I heard of a truck being rebuilt the same year it was manufactured, although anything is possible). However, the contract order was in 1969, indicating that is probably a 1969 or 1970.
