I like!

Congrats! I, too, would like to find an M928...someday.

Congrats! Hope all goes well with the recovery!

I'm curious on the fording thing myself, as someone who plans to be getting dirty in the mud when I get one. As for cleaning, my understanding is go through everything with a grease gun before you go, then after you're done as well. Probably wouldn't hurt to change differential fluids, etc...

Jbulach, fine looking truck!

Congrats on the new truck! Is this your first military truck? Best of luck getting the old girl running and out on the road again!

Makes me want to "save" it now!

Ah. So it's a fire fighting truck?

Funny thing, I just saw an old M275 today! Or at least what I think is one, could be an M35A2 sans bed. It's in rough shape sitting in a graveyard of other abandoned trucks but if I get a good, running Deuce (planning on it!) I'd consider trying to pick it up, for a parts truck if nothing...

Looks like a fun project! As it is, is it drivable/roadworthy enough to drive home under its own power?

Absolutely gorgeous, Gottaluvit!

DavidWymore, that's what I was hoping was the case; my situation may be similar, lots of quick hit and run errands to Fred Meyer/Walmart, etc.

Ok pardon my ignorance but what is that, a water cannon?

Yeah, I'm curious to see how the "Armstrong" manual steering is if I get this one, since as a first vehicle even after driving school I'll still be learning some nuances in the Deuce... My first experience driving a manual transmission, as well as the second vehicle I ever drove, was trying to...

Very interesting! Those are things I'll have to look for for sure! Did the data plates ever get swapped during rebuilds?

I'm really curious if "mine" (because it isn't at least not yet) was maybe a gasser, rebuilt in '79 with a multi fuel engine? What years, approximately, did the gassers get multi fuel engines?

Haha! If I don't end up with it, somebody should. Good to know that it's what's left of an earth boring truck, or at least had that stuff added to it. I'll still add screen shots for those who have never seen it:

So while perusing my local Craigslist last night I stumbled upon another Deuce. Of course I've already replied to the ad. I showed the ad and pictures to my roommate, another Steel Soldiers member who is also a Deuce owner, and they think it might be a pipeline truck. So...I'm trying to...

I'm definitely curious about this too, as someone who may be daily driving a Deuce by this spring myself.

Thanks!
