I'm sitting here with my "new" bobbed '71 Deuce right outside the window. Had it shipped in from Phoenix to northern Nevada, arriving Wednesday. I love it, without even rolling it off my 5-acre "spread " ( for lack of plates and insurance).
The Bill of Sale says "body style: M35A2" and make: "VOLVO"!!!!
The Arizona title says: "Make: Volvo", and "Body style: 2DSW".
I queried the seller, and he was told by the previous owner that "A lot of different companies made these trucks." No further info was available.
I bought the rig from an Ebay listing, where it was identified as an American General 35A2. Do either the VIN or contract number identify the maker?
It seems to me that the VIN would be the most-authoritative information available; perhaps I should just have the DMV "correct the error"?
Incidentally, the trucker who delivered the Deuce said he could have sold it four times on the way north, including one gent who whipped out his checkbook and said "How much?" Makes me think I might have lucked into a good one!
In total ignorance, I bought a truck that has:
-Michelin 1400-20s in great condition;
-manifold flame heater;
-the key-pad light switch;
-winch
-spring-ride seat;
and I don't know what-all else that I have yet to discover. These bobbed rigs have GOT to be the biggest danged "4x4 pickups" in creation....
This is going to be fun.
If anyone can shed some light on this "Volvo" business. I'd be very grateful.
