Could this be the other one brought up for trials: here is a shot from an article in an old EME journal of a "MLVW under test at LETE----Summer 1980". The CFR is 37730. The truck exhibits no Canadian modifications aside from the shelter and the CFR plate that I can see. Edited to add: It would appear the exhaust is on the wrong side for an American M35. It is possible this truck has been modified to the 8.2 liter engine already, with a stack type exhaust which was later changed.
The article talks about 5 pre-production prototypes. I wonder if these prototypes are the modified US trucks.
As well I have attached a shot of my MLVW as it sits now, although there is that white stuff all over it again, as happens every year around this time.
