Would it make sense to create a separate wikiarticle, listing the military users of this truck family? I know for sure that the Argentine Army was (and probably still is) user of it, where it was commonly known as "REO". Regards, DPdH ( talk) 01:06, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
This has bothered me for quite some time. Under "Operational History" It is stated that "The M35 truck was not used by the United States Marine Corps....". I was in the United States Marine Corp and I can't count the number of times I personally rode in the back of an M35. I realize it's anecdotal, but life experience can't be wrong. It just is.

The truck was a cargo carrier, but how many men could it seat in back? 12,16 or 20? 68.7.39.127 ( talk) 16:15, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
infobox says: "Produced 1950–present" I wouldn't think that's correct. When did they stop making them? MartinezMD ( talk) 02:21, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
In the U.S. vehicles are sometimes described by “wheels” rather than axles, with two wheels per axle. Dual rear tires are mounted closely parallel to each other on a common hub, and do not move in relation to each other, acting as single wheels, and are more of a tire option than a mechanical difference. Both the M34 and M35 have six “wheels”, even though the M35 has 10 tires. The "6x6" number is “number of wheels X of number wheels powered”, “6X6” means all three axles are powered.

The M35 2½-ton cargo truck was often referred to as a "deuce and a half" by U.S. Army personnel; and as a "six by six" by U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S Marine Corps personnel. Tjlynnjr ( talk) 21:54, 11 March 2014 (UTC) .

To my knowledge, those particular engines did NOT allow "jet fuel" to be run in those engines. They even had a plaque bolted to the dash warning you not to use aviation grade fuel. You could also possibly add that mixing fuels was permissible, which is also something labeled on those trucks. My source is a 1971 M35. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.97.27.35 ( talk) 19:15, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
Ring mounts could be fitted over the cab for mounting M2 BMG. Infantry battalions in the 82 Abn each had 6 M35s, 4 assigned to mess halls. Use of the ring mounts was discouraged because 1. 50 cal was difficult to get. (Every round we ever got was left over from WWII.) 2. Firing from the ring mount loosened a lot in the truck necessitating re-tightening by the motor pool. 3. The first time we mounted ours was a bitch. Had to clean off the cosmoline and figure out the process. 4. Mess personnel hated having to do anything outside of duty hours. This Lieutenant and the S-4 NCOIC overcame the obstacles and did it. Results were amazing! No weapon is more fun to fire than a ma deuce. Ever after even the cooks were asking when they could do it again. Was in 1971 with 2/325.
