I have done it many times, but never with the windshield folded down...no desire to get bugs in my teeth. :) Bruce

I actually think $4,500 for a rebuilt M923 is a good deal. If it had been closer to MD, you wouldn't have gotten it so cheaply because (a) trucks bring more up here and (b) I'd have bid it up on you! ;) Congratulations and good luck.

Welcome from Damascus, MD. If you need help, contact me...I'm not far from you. You are also welcome to crawl around on or under anything I own to see which variant you like the best. Be forewarned, though...most of what I have right now is M939 series or Freightliner. An M917A2 might be...

I have contact with the guy who bought out BMY. I have seen that flier in hardcopy format. He told me that the truck in the ad you posted was a prototype that they tried to pitch to the Army, but they never bought them. I suppose they could have procured a prototype. BMY could have marketed...

To my knowledge, the UMSC did not use any A2s. I have checked with guys in the Marines and they told me they went right from the M809 series and M939A0/M939A1 series to the MTVR. I don't have any documentable proof of this so someone else may be able to provide additional detail about this...

What exactly are you travelling 2,600 miles for? :popcorn:

Yeah, but do you keep it in a locked garage? That was their requirement the last I checked. Perhaps, you have such facilities. I have had that arrangement at times in the past, but there are others carriers, such as GULFWAY, that do not require locked garages.

The winch that John is offering is fair value, but that also makes my point...buy the whole truck from him!

Glen, I don't know that this is false, but I believe it to be. I have never heard of different Allisons for this series. I suppose it is possible that you learn something new everyday. I will await confirmation, but my initial thought is your intel is incorrect as you suspect.

Be thankful that you are not in MD. Among other reasons, you cannot tag a tractor as historic in MD.

I am not FROM upstate NY, but my family has a farm up there in Cherry Valley, NY right near Howard (ZEBEDEE). You are maybe 45-60 minutes from Howard's place. Welcome. The CUCV is a great choice for a truck.

I personally think you will be better off finding an M925. It is possible that you'll find a kit cheaply. With that said, my experience when looking for a winch kit (that I did not buy, by the way) was that they run in the $1200-1500 range. I am not sure all of the parts that you'll need, but...

I have the brand new and correct screws for the bows. PM me an offer. Bruce

Phil, congratulations. I saw that sucker and wanted to bid...but forgot about it. Glad you got it!

John, it is a vehicle similar to this one. If I get it, I'll definitely post some pics. (John, thanks for the PM, too!)

Thanks for the response. I don't want to buy one. While I believe Brandon would help if he was closer, he is in NC so either paying him to move it two miles in MD, borrowing/renting it, or buying it is not really feasible. I eventually want to buy a 20 ton tag along trailer to move the...

Anyone have access to an M172A1 or a 20 ton tag along trailer? I am currently considering the purchase of an M548 variant. The trucker cannot get his truck and low-bed trailer into my area close enough to my house and I don't want to have to drive the vehicle 2 miles on back roads. Well, I...

Congrats, Doc. Did you get the itch after driving my M927A1? :)

I agree with Mark on the CTIS. I have had many A2s, and I have never had one that had working CTIS...at least that worked for very long. That includes the couple where I replaced every CTIS part. You want to talk about an investment in parts?!?! The CTIS on my M928A2 works to some degree...

Phil, thanks for contacting me. It made it so convenient to grab a pair of lights from you. Safe trip back.
