Yah, Those trucks on the SSSS site do not look anything like M35's. They
look like sh!t personally.
The M35A3's though remind me very much of the M151A2 FAV. They are both
extremely old machines which have proved their worth, so the military
updates them, rather drastically, to keep current technology on them.
Thanks for reading,
Matt Mouser

Hi Norm...
I believe you saw one of the family of medium tactical vehicles
(FMTV), which are the new replacements for the M35 and 5-ton trucks
that we drive and love.
I see them in all the NG yards around here, usually when no M35s are
at that facility.
Here's the home page for the company that makes them...I don't see a
shopping cart button though. ;)
