The truck was a no go. It was in pretty good shape surprisingly but it went for $9,300 which was more then I was going to spend on a A2. Little Asian guy bought it for use on a farm in OK. Not sure what they are farming with this 100 degrees every day for the last month. The corn has already...

Found a Tan 79 M35A2 with 18,000 miles, winch, with some interior upgrades, new highway tread tires and it supposedly runs like a champ and has recent brake work. I hate that that is as much information as they can give about the truck. It's about 4 hours from me and will be in an auction...

I might be a new member to this particular forum but I have been using forum's a lot longer then you would think so don't even go there. And I have seen comments exactly like yours on other forums where the statement is made and includes a smiley face but wasn't written to be all in good humor...

I will definitely look the truck over good before I buy one as soon as I find what I am looking for. That's what I was thinking too! I would much rather have one that has been drivin and not just sat and idled in the winter or something where the fuel has just washed the cylinders down. My 2010...

Awesome build camoyj7!! Love the crew cab and that heel and tire package is by farm my favorite for these trucks! The Good Year MVT is the best looking/fitting tire in my opinion! The Bud Light truck is pretty slick!

I have a 5 acre lot here at my main Kansas house with a shop, pond, house, 30trees +/- a couple. Less grass is always good! Lol Thought my dad was going to have a heart attack last year when I told him I killed off all the grass on the back 4 acres and was going to gravel it (I really didn't)...

That's the first thing I was told lol was to make sure I inspected the brakes good because they are prone to leaking after sitting. Lost brakes on a 69 Chevy 4500 one time out on the farm loaded down with seed wheat out on the highway approaching a red light. Talk about making you pucker up...

Thanks guys!! There are lots of good looking trucks in here and I am getting more and more ideas all the time! Haha. I can't wait to own a piece of history!

Thanks to all the guys that made a helpful post!! I really appreciate it! I am definitely going to try and find a nice A2 preferably desert tan if I can find one with low enough miles and that's in good shape! The auto has me nervous, allison's can get expensive in a hurry and like everyone has...

You respect me, I will respect you that's a promise!. I always feel you can learn something from "senior members" but when comments are made like I can't wait to see the comments on this one basically calling someone an idiot I don't have respect for stuff like that. I am sure I could run laps...

I am thinking a A2 would be more fun to drive with the manual... And the more A3's I look at the more I see them with flat tires from the CTIS system leaking! As nice as it would be I can see it would be a big pain in the A$$!

So what would they have been upgraded with in 2001 that would give them an upgrade tag? I bet I have seen at least 20 labeled 2000 and 2001's in the last 6 months or so. Is it illegal for them to sell them as 2000 or 2001's? Surely they get registered as a whatever year they were manufactured.

Interestingly enough 3 seconds on Google and I found this 2001 American General M35A3 Trucks | RANCHERS SUPPLY COMPANY LAMAR, CO There out there. Or there is a bunch of people selling them under the wrong year/name and I don't see that happening. There was one on eBay just a couple weeks...

Where are you located in OKC exactly? I wasn't aware of anyone selling them in the OKC area. That was the first place I searched as I am there at least twice a week. So when exactly does the newbie hasing crap stop? I'll put up with it for awhile

Good looking truck in the avatar man! [thumbzup]
