Jorge Amselle profiles Big Bug Out Trucks, a company which rebuilds old M35 military surplus trucks for off-roading & disaster preparation.
Ready to give other off-road vehicles an inferiority complex? A bobbed “deuce and a half” from Big Bug Out Trucks is faster, and you can add a snorkel kit, an EMP-proof winch, a remote UAV system and more.
If you think your truck with a snorkel and lift kit will get you through the zombie apocalypse, think again. Uncle Sam already planned for this eventuality back in 1951 with the introduction of the M35 six-wheel-drive, 2.5-ton cargo and troop transport truck. Well nowadays, and thanks to 50 years of federal government procurement policy, you can pick up a used “deuce and a half” for a song. My own experience of riding in the back of M35s is that they are big, burly, tough-as-nails and not built for comfort. But why would any red-blooded American leave well enough alone? Indeed, an entire cottage industry has developed around turning the boring old “deuce” into a 21st century, zombie-slaying bug-out truck.
