Hi Dan,thanks for that info,i know it is not really a CMP vehicle but i thought that with Bombadier making Canadian versions that some one may have some interest in the M35 family.
The plot thickens now with Okinawa thrown in the mix,as well as some other site i have been on recently regarding M35/G472 trucks states that Marine Corps werent issued with these trucks,so what would they have been issued with? as M series were the main U.S. truck for many years.
The spare cab that came with it has its data plates but are well worn and its hard to distinguish the info thereon,but one does say M139 5 ton.
Australian Army did have some heavy wreckers by USA manufacturers but info on these vehicles is hard to find,i have personally seen one which was described to us as a Kaiser when in army cadets ( high school based) in 1970s at Northam army camp when on a training course.
It is entirely possible some of these trucks may have been imported by private concerns as a basis for specialty drilling rigs etc direct from U.S. disposal auctions
