Well, I just drove the latest truck 360 some odd miles home the other day.
M109A1 is the latest to join the herd.
The others are;
1969 Kaiser M35A2 - full cargo top
1971 AM General M35A2 - cab top, has cargo top, and I just got the cargo bows!
1971 AM General M35A2 - no tops yet

Oh it's a problem all right!
The problem is I don't have a 5 ton yet.
I don't have a wrecker yet.
I need some trailers!

And the last few times at the lot, I have been drooling over the M900 series trucks just sitting there!!!!

Personally I don't think the 12 step program means you have 12 of them, I think it means you have 12 DIFFERENT types of them ;)
So in that regard, my problem is that I only have completed 2 of the 12 steps...

I understand the data plate might say M109a1, butI think with a multifuel, its is technicaly an a3. Anyone else?

I was figuring it was updated to the A2 status with the exhaust and bigger engine.
It still has the electric horn, sprag transfer case though.
Not sure what else were considered upgrades that would denote what level this truck is at.

Either way, with the newer motor, this truck moves along well considering it's over 15k lbs empty and 13' tall!

No credit cards (I used my bank card, so no credit involved).
But I did end up spending the money saved up for doing some work around the place for winter.
I sure hope it doesn't get TOO cold this winter :|

I see that yours came with the a/c unit attached. Take a good look at the roof and along the inside bottom of the box to see if you have any leaks/rust issues. Time to start painting the rocks so your motor pool looks correct. I need somewhere to park more stuff.......

Started 11 years ago with my first M715. Just a good time lately to get some bigger OD Iron ;)

The A/C unit has a space below it. They had duck taped some slats below the unit to block the weather out.
Believe it or not, it is in good shape around that. But I haven't given it a FULL inspection yet.
The first step was cleaning that bugger out!

Choices are easily made though.
The 69 is my wife's truck (will be restored for parades, club meetings, etc.)
The 109 will be my dad's radio shack (Ham radios, etc).
I will be selling the one without a top soon.
And the one with a cab top only is mine.

So, I get to drive MY truck when I want ;)
