| The T35 was the prototype of the M10 Gun Motor Carriage. Converted from M4A2s, the T35 had a standard early M4A2 hull, and the later T35E1 had the modified hull with sloped armor plating, as seen on the M10. |

| M36 |
| The M36 was based on the gasoline-engined M4A3, not the diesel M4A2s like the earlier TDs. These were all converted from the superfluous M10A1s that were retained in the US for training duties. |

| M36B1 |
| To make up for production shortfalls of the M36, several hundred M36 turrets were mounted on M4A3s (late model, big hatch hulls) and designated as M36B1. As of this writing, there are no kits of the vehicle in this scale. |

| M36B2 |
| There weren't enough M10A1s available for all of the planned conversions, so 724 diesel-engined M10s were converted instead, and designated as the M36B2. The ExtraTech M36 kits contain parts to convert the model into an M36B2. |
