Thanks for all the replies guys! -A dropside M927 bed would be great, I'd happily swap somebody for a dropside bed for ease of installing/removing whatever I use for a box. Wreckerman893, I'll PM you. -As far as taking the truck with me after I graduate, heck yeah I would with absolutely no...

Sounds even more like I may be pulling the trigger this spring. Excited but also terrified at the same time, I think everyone would understand why LOL. I'm mechanically what you might call less then inclined, it would be my first vehicle, list goes on and on, but I can also see it being the...

That's good to know then! Think an M146 would still fit?

So...would the M146 box fit in the bed?

For gasoline, I was picturing also putting a generator farther away on an extension cord. Would a 20' shipping container fit in the M927/M928 bed, with original dropsides still up to hold it in place? Door situation would change for sure on the end of the container. I was thinking the...

Point taken, but for me part of it is specifically wanting a long bed cargo version, box can be lifted out to use as a cargo when needed. Simply put, I've just plain wanted a M927 or m928... Any other thoughts?

Latest bizarre idea: So ever since I got familiar with the M939 series 5 ton trucks (Thanks, Steel Soldiers!) I've wanted a long bed version, an M927 or M928 (M927 with winch). Most people laugh at me, asking why on EARTH anyone in their right mind would want something so...

She's a beaut!

Sweet! I also plan on doing the same when I get mine.

I heard back from the seller! He wants it gone before temps drop below zero, which will be probably this week, but it may be for sale again in the spring...at which point I plan on buying it. Wish me luck! It needs a wheel cylinder but apparently otherwise the brakes work, though of course...

Congrats on the Deuce acquisition! I, too, may be picking one up soon.

Gorgeous truck! I, too, am potentially soon to be a Deuce owner, I've wanted one for a couple years now. The kicker: it would be my first vehicle, no joke.

Well, it's a month and a half later and I never heard back, but the Craigslist ad got reposted, I just so happened to be looking again. I of course did reply. I'm still getting ducks in a row (won't be driving until at least February). I'm sure it's been talked about a million times and I...

Wayne, just now reading this thread, but congratulations!

Hey wilkusmcrecon, hello from another Alaska member here! I'm in the same situation, would like to get myself a 5 ton soon but will probably actually start with a Deuce and move on up. I'm currently located in Fairbanks, let me know if you ever want to get together.

Jbulach, your 925A2 is an '88? Newest A1s I've seen were like '86 or '87 but I swear I've seen '86 A0s too (NHC250 Cummins engine with duals)

I've seen supposedly '87 A2s, but I'm not sure if that's true.

Also look on the Fairbanks Craigslist, A2s show up on there. I almost bought one a couple months ago.

Hey Wilkusmcrecon, welcome from another Alaskan member! I'm currently located in Fairbanks; where is Meadow Lakes? I'm also sort of on the hunt for a Deuce myself, but only putting out little feelers, I'm not totally ready for one yet since I live on campus in the dorms right now and won't be...

Hey, at least you got to drive the big guy...that's what counts! :driver:
