For comparison, look at the ages and occupations of Seabees in WW2.
None of those is any comparison for the conditions in the U.S. after the canon nuclear exchange, famines, and plagues. Those do not discriminate.
Back to older but, survivable systems that make sense to resurrect in T2k.
M113 production.... Strykers and LAVs are working, but are considerable more complex..... maybe some M113 IFV conversions? M901s?

M88A1 and M88A2 are about as old and survivable as it gets - very easy to maintain, come with a blade and crane, perfect for use to recover and repair vehicles you need as well as a host of engineering jobs that a T2K military would be doing
M109 SPG - based on older tech and perfect for the military to use for defending their base areas - not many marauders who could stand up to it and for those who don't know what it is it looks like the biggest tank in the world
Bradley - you may not have TOW's but that 25mm is more than enough to deal with anything most marauders or Mexican units will have
you would only be able to build what you had parts on hand for - but in those days we used to keep up to six months inventory on hand - get power going again and that's a lot of vehicles to use, built at a low rate of production, to be able to re-equip whats left
