If you want a M35A2 to look like a Canadian MLVW just change up the wheels to super singles.
The multi-fuel turbo diesel is a great engine and there are plenty of parts available for these trucks. They will easily do 55mph although you need hearing protection, maybe a bit more if you crank up the governor.

The US trucks are standard shift, have worse seats and a softop cab. The M35 series is 1950s technology. The MLVW is more 1980s, with a greater emphasis on driver comfort and energy.
