No plans to use the tank at the moment. Would be nice though to figure out a way to make a few bucks on the side using this truck.

A small update...
Haven't seen the truck in person yet, but it is in good hands. Been too busy and the weather hasn't helped.
It was driven off the trailer, and then a few miles to another location. Matt @ A&H Recon said the transmission was slipping, a few tires need to be replaced, brakes were bad, and the engine had some blow by. A bit surprised since this company wanted $40,000 for the truck initially, and it had $180k in work done to it over the years. But it was heavily used, so I can't be too surprised. We'll dive deeper into the engine & tranny when it gets nicer out.
I got lucky and found a transmission on GP for $500. It was listed correctly, but some of the pictures showed at Cat transmission (M916) so I think it scared some people off. Was just delivered to Matt, so that's one less thing to worry about. I plan on putting full synthetic ATF in it, not motor oil like the military used (and I guess Allison even recommends?).

I resemble that remark...
well after you tried to load the M915A1 into the bed of my truck by going over the front of the trailer. It probably would have had a few tents to go along with all of that rust.

Went to check it out Sunday. It was a lot of fun seeing on of these trucks up close. The oil system on the side will be coming off when I put a new tranny in, if anyone is interested in buying it.
Matt will be going through the truck in the next few days to do a full assessment on what needs to be done, but here is what we have seen so far...
8 new tires (if anyone knows where I can get cheap ones, let me know)
New Transmission (already have one ready to put in)
Blow by in the 8v92 needs to be investigated
Brake pads
Some basic metal work

We have some 1600s for easy prices in the 85 percent to new range. We can even deliver them to western MA or to CT in the next week or two. PM me for prices.

Be careful here, this then makes it a commercial license requirement...
I can drive my M921 around all day long as long as it's for me, or supporting my Son's Scout Troop or the local museum as a donation of my services, but if I charge...some Paper Nazi will hunt me down for a violation.

Yup, I agree. Not worth the hassle.

We had this on the back burner for a bit and now it should be finished very soon. Haven't driven it yet, but can't wait. Will probably go up for sale before winter as I don't have a place to store it.
Here are some pics of the new rubber all around. New transmission was installed. New brakes. New engine oil. Matt @ AH Recon has been doing the work and took it on a test drive. We'll do a few more and then I'll drive it home once I figure out how to get it insured properly. Insurance agent isn't having much luck.
