that's very useful information, Colin, thank you.  if i ever come across a
surviving M-3-6, i'll remember this.  finding an M-3-6, however, is the
problem.  i know of no surviving examples of these trucks.  there may be one
or two, maybe more, that survived the war and the period afterwards, but i
haven't ever seen one in person, and have not heard of any.  there were
roughly 20,000 DUKW trucks made, many of which survive to this day and are
obviously distinctive.  IH built quite a few less than that of the M-3-6,
and so far as i can tell nobody found them noteworthy enough to preserve.
if i ever find one, i'll let you know.
