First off, this site is amazing. So much information and good people in one place. I live in south-central VA and have been looking at owning a deuce and a half for a very long time. My grandfather was a master seargent mechanic at Fort Eustis VA and he retired from the army and went into the private sector teaching classes on his work after retirement. He was in WWII, Vietnam, and the first gulf war. I remember him talking about these trucks and how they were a chore to maintain but they never let him down. The man helped raise me and I'd love to own one of these vehicles. Nostalgic and cool factors aside I can really see myself getting use out of one of these beasts from time to time. I know little about them, besides what I've been looking up online about them, and I've never dug into one. I've seen one at a Richmond cars and coffee event a year ago and it was the first one in real life I've laid eyes on but the gentleman was packing up and leaving when I arrived. Are there any members around the Keysville area that wouldn't mind helping me learn if I want to persue this hobby? I am mechanically inclined and tend to do all my own work as long as it isn't out of my range, or has very expensive specialty tools. I like the M93 too but I really don't want to get my CDL at this time. Any local help would be very appreciated! I just don't have the cash right now to buy one and the 7500-12000 price tags I keep finding are out of my range for a couple years for sure. Maybe someone has a great deal to get rid of some extra deuces? Haha.
