New deuce owner!

[shootiniron]

Well I finally took the plunge and bought my first deuce.Its an M35A2C depot rebuilt and CARCed in 92'.Its singled with 1100-20's and has about 5200 miles on it,also has the air assist steering.It came out of Barstow.I bought it from Mark Riddle(100 dollar man) and I cannot say enough about the whole transaction.He's a great guy to deal with,has a nice inventory and will bend over backwards for you.I felt that my satisfaction was very important to him.From his place it was about 370 miles home and the truck never missed a beat.Great adventure overall.Thanks Mark!

Only pic that turned out,sorry

Sweet! Welcome to the club.

Nice looking truck! The Air-O-Matic is nice, no? It really makes low-speed steering a bit easier... plus, when the truck comes with it, it's a lot easier to swallow the price!

Welcome!

Nice looking truck, you forgot to mention it has the air-o-matic air assist steering on it. That is a great addition. JT out

Nice truck. As sore as my arms get after driving mine I am thinking about adding the air assist steer.

Thanks guys,I hav'nt had a chance to mess with it at all yet.After I got home Mon. nite at about 2030 hrs in a snow storm I shut it off,went to bed and got up at 0130 hrs and drove another 4 hours to work so to say the least I'm really looking forward to getting home this weekend and take a good look at what I brought home!By the way I sent John the funds for his spin on oil and fuel filter adapters as well as the locking front hubs.Should be cool.I was amazed at the fuel milage that truck got on the way home.Between 8 and 9 mpg and thats with the bed loaded with eight Michelin 14.50-20 tires,cab hard top,bed tarp,boarding ladder and pulling an M-105 trailer.Better than what I was expecting.
