Cool! I've been thinking of ways to justify getting more MVs...

I always wanted to drill an illegal well. Also, I would finally get to tap into the oil under all the worthless sand in my yard. I guess while I'm at it I could put up some phone poles, too.

I'm gonna be stinkin' rich.

nice truck whish it was closer

 

[Recovry4x4]

Man, that would be a score for rarity. V18A-MTQ is the model. Here's the link for those looking.

It really is in nice shape. Someone here could probably get it for a song, as it's a somewhat more obscure site than GL.

Hopefully it goes to someone who wants to restore it...

If you bring it to me I will trade a M35a2 for it

 

[rdixiemiller]

That one definately needs a true restoration. They are scarce as hens teeth! I would hate to see someone chop it up for the axles! I have only seen one up close, and it had been used to death by an electrical co-op and junked years ago.
Bruce Kubu! Where are you?

This is the third one I know of.I own a 1953 v18a, and have been looking for them for awhile now.I am pretty sure jatonka has one also.

 

[JDToumanian]

If anyone is seriously considering buying this truck, please PM me. I may be able to assist in removal and temporary storage, I have a towbar and a big yard, and this truck is 5 hours from me. If nobody is thinking of buying it, I will probably bid to try to "rescue" it...

[rdixiemiller]

I tried to interest Bruce in it, too far away for him. Whoever gets it, I hope they restore it. They are scarce in this condition! Hell, they're scarce in any condition!

 

[DDoyle]

Why does it always seem that the cool (aka odd) deuces are always thousands of miles from me?!

Hope someone saves it.

In other words, none of the kids they have working for them now can drive a manual trannie.

No, they can't find the starter button on the floor

truck price is $455.00 with 2 days left

 

[JDToumanian]

Unless someone tries to talk me out of it, I am going to go for it. At the very least, someone else is not going to get it cheap. It's within easy reach of my deuce and towbar...

It will get action in the last minutes of the auction... I have a big reminder on my bedroom door so I don't forget it!

I do have one of these V18A-MTQ pole setters. It might be more rare than any other deuce, along with the V17A-MTQ tel. maintainence truck. I can't drive all the way out there to pick it up, so, soldiers, go for it. John Tennis
