Loved those old M35 deuce-and-a-half's. The last unit I was in before retiring about 12 years ago still had three of them. Many M35's soldier on, a lot of them working for rural fire districts as brush trucks or water tenders.
You have to run narrower tires on axles running dual tires. If you run dual 11:00 tires the sidewalls likely will rub. I had that problem on my CCKW wirh wide tires.

Yes, this.
These are NOT "high RPM engines. I think they are governed to about 2500-2600 RPM max?

What does that mean?

Are they literally called "eleven o clock tires"? I am not understanding how the time type name is applied to the type of tire.
