First off i have to say its so nice to find this community of information i hope someone will have the time to help, thank you in advance.I have found a deuce for sale for 500.00 i have searched for information and have found lots of great info but i have not been able to find the details i need to make my decision to purchase.Here is what i know about the truck,data plate says year of manufacture was 1954,didnt know enough when i looked at it to know that there is a plate that says the manufacturer so i do now know for certain.The truck physically looks the same as the pictures of the m34's on the site except for the oil filters being mounted externally on the drivers side fender at the front.Another thing that i am wondering about is the engine it is a cummins diesel no turbocharger i cant find any info on a cummins option for the duece anybody know anything about this?possible replacemant motor but that is hard to believe seeing as the odometer reads 3943 miles!The owner says the truck runs and has good tires everything else will have to be found out if it warrants a second look.My biggest concern i discovered after looking at photos i had taken of the truck when i got home,the front axle is missing the drive shaft and also the differential section, on the top of the axle is covered with a flat plate i would appreciate opinions and cautions about purchasing this truck it is my first large truck and i do not want to get in over my head.I have restored several vehicles so i am mechanically experienced but i will have a learning curve to deal with.I am concerned that the parts to complete the front drive system may make it very costly in the end to have true six wheel drive,and thats what i want all six wheels a spinnin!Thanks in advance and any and all knowledge and information is greatly appreciated thank you and have a good day
