Builder Year??

[Tim Powell]

Hey Crew.
We need some help over here in Iowa. My Buddy Bought a 1989 AM General, he thought. Little did he and I know they quit building these trucks in 1987. I'll try to attach a shot of the ID number from the dash plate. Where can I find out what year this truck was built. We need notarized proof! The truck is an M35A2.

Hi Tim,

Here is a link for the information you need. Make sure to follow the rules and give all the information that is available. Get the serial number off the frame also.

In the civie truck world, they often list the year of a truck by the date it was sold. IE, a Peterbuilt made in 1987 might be shown as a 1988 if that's when it was sold. Not saying the military stuff is the same, but the M35 might have been built in 1987 and accepted/purchased by the military in 1989. In any event, the link to the SS site should help. If Carnac can't find info, it may not exist.

The go to guy for that with your #'s is CARNAC. Steel Soldiers. John

Why are you dealing with changing the year? If the form 97 says it's an 89 I would just title it as a 1989 and not worry that it might be a 86 or an 87 or an 85. To me it's not that big of a deal espically on a truck like an M35A2.

Hello My Friends!!
I'll look on Steel-Solders for sure! I will also contact CARNAC as well. The problem we have is with the State of Iowa DOT. These dirty dogs will not issue tags to a military vehicle not older than 25 years?? We are trying to get this law changed and it's an up-hill battle! The fight is on and I will not stop! Live free or die! (wish I was the first to say that) Thanks to each and every one of your Guys!!
