The M36 combined the hull of the M10 tank destroyer, which used the M4 Sherman's reliable chassis and drivetrain combined with sloped armor, and a new turret mounting the 90 mm gun M3.

As noted the original basic gasoline-powered truck variants were first the M34, and then the M35. An extra long wheel-base variant, designated the M36, was also developed (featuring a 16-foot (4.9 m) cargo bed). Variants with a C suffix (such as M35A2C or M36A2C) featured a straight drop-side cargo bed.

An experiment was performed mounting the 90-mm armed M36 turret on an M18 to provide more firepower than the 76-mm. [34] The first M4 tanks armed with 76 mm guns intended for combat were produced in January 1944. [35] Tanks equipped with the gun began arriving in Britain in April 1944. [17]
