Hey guys, so i've been ghost following steel soldiers for a long time now, while I was cooking up the funds to get my first truck. I started off solid'ly wanting a Deuce and a Half, with not even considering anything else in my mind.. because I was ignorant, and didnt realize the vast array of other vehicles on the used market. So after some time and research I came accross the M929 series of trucks. I have to say, i was totally reshaped. The 5Ton's were bigger, looked better from the front, could carry more weight , and had the available Allison Auto 5Spd. I was sold.
Long story short, I came across this gem in South Jersey last week and decided to pull my money out of the bank and take a drive down to check her out. I cant begin to tell you how impressed I was with the condition on this thing. I mean, no rust, rot, engine and tranny were tight, EVERYTHING on the truck works with the exception of the speedometer (broken cable). I mean, a truely clean truck for an 88 that was re-conditioned (new engine, trans, tires, and paint job) in 2004.
I got this pup for $6k , came with 3/4 tank of Diesel, and drove it back 4 `1/2 hours home. Battling with insurance companies now to see how I can get the best rate on it. Im not sure how to go about getting antique or historic insurance in NY, most companies say that because of its size that it cant be done. Any input on that would be great.
I will be starting a Build thread this week for it, as I will be making some major changes in the upcoming months.
