This switch has lived in some of the toughest machines ever created. The work-horse M35 2.5 Ton Truck , aka the "Deuce and a Half", is one of the most famous.

"The 2 1/2-ton truck is our most valuable weapon." - General George S. Patton

"The M35 series of trucks was one of the most long-lived systems deployed by the Army. They were first fielded in the 1950's and continued to serve with various modifications into the late '90s in two dozen configurations." - GlobalSecurity.org

"To help the Afghan National Army win the fight to secure its nation, in mid-2003 AMC's Combat Equipment Group-Europe sent them more than 500 trucks from locations in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Though the trucks are no longer needed by the US Army, they have a lot of life left in them, so they are being sent to Afghanistan under the provisions of the Afghan Freedom Support Act. Some 400 of the trucks are those known to generations of GIs as the “Deuce and a Half,” while 111 are five-ton cargo vehicles. These trucks were ideal for the harsh conditions found in Afghanistan. They all have standard transmissions, common in that part of the world, and are about as rugged and simple as a truck can be." - GlobalSecurity.org
