Historical Information

The M35A1 is a three-axle military truck (commonly referred to as the “Deuce and a Half”), which became the primary means of transportation for the United States Army from the postwar period through the Vietnam conflict and into modern times. During the Vietnam War, from 1965–1975, soldiers began improvising by converting the M35A1 into armored “Gun Trucks,” equipping them with armor and weapons such as the M2 Browning and Browning M1919 machine guns. Initially created to protect convoys from Viet Cong guerrilla ambushes, gun trucks quickly became legendary on the roads of South Vietnam, saving hundreds of soldiers' lives.
