Hello from So Cal

Just joined after looking for a few days around the site. Live in Camarillo California and Just started a search for a truck. Not sure what route I am going M35A2 or A3, bobbed or not, still unsure.

Welcome to the Steel Soldiers Trauma and Financial Yearly......SSTAFY. I miss southern California so bad I'm dropping the deuce budget and sticking it back in the "I wanna go see Midway again" fund. You're a lucky guy to be placed there with 12 months of cruising potential.

Does California beat you up on truck length/ weight/ CDL requirements, specific commercial insurance or any thing else that could help with a decision? There's the current 10,000lb, 2 axle limit in that State above you that creates a need for a Bobbed truck under 5 ton.....if a guy has limited funds.

Your budget is the only real limiting factor so finding something close would save transport costs that could go toward fixing something up. Best of luck on that decision, take pics and take us shopping!

As posted above California does require a Class B. I have a A. Going out this morning to look at a potential truck and on the way home I will call on another. Insurance is cheap and easy. My wife is a State Farm agent so it will be under a stated value classic policy. With that I can still be covered under my multi million umbrella policy. In California when you are lucky to have assets you get to pay for extra insurance so the guy who has nothing can’t take away your house and toys.

I know the AVEX area well. Many friends used to work there. I worked for a shop on the other side of their hangar.
