Not sure if they have NBC gear on them.  Most that I have seen are open
cab and not well designed for NBC threats.

If memory serves, the M35s had a fording kit - exhaust pipe extenstions plus
other goodies, - able to ford water up to about here <gestures at neck> but
they can't swim.

I vagually recall that there was a mount for an overpressure device - sucked
air in (through a filter, I hope) and kept the bad stuff out.  I *know*
there was such a critter for the GMC pickup trucks that I drove in the
Marines, and you could scarecely call the cabs on a GMC well sealed . . .
