FlyingVan911, That is what scares me the most. Most of them say trans shifts great of what have you. But I know what a cost getting a cars tranny overhauled. I cant even imagine what the Allison would cost.

TacticalDoc I have one as well. Purchased back in 1977 for $5,000. It has not been out of the safe for years except for oil wipe down. I think I'm going to take Kenm352a's advice and just bide my time until the right one comes along. My son pointed out a good point this evening. He said, Dad...

Its likely a 47D1 or D2. Easy way to tell is the gas tank is flat and goes across the tail boom. Later models had pod tanks on both sides of the tail boom which did not come out until after Korea. There are several D models still flying in the US. At least three (3) I know of. It probably...

Thanks for all the reply's. I'm leaning towards the 923A2. After looking at GL the prices on decent trucks are still pretty high. The M923a1 I'm looking at is 4 states away. It seems like its in good shape but I really don't want to drive 456 miles just to look at a truck I may or may not...

Which would you choose. M35A2 $5,000 Really nice condition Local truck. Title for this state M923A1 $6,000 decent condition - 13,500 miles, runs well not local 400 miles away - Title from another state Fun truck - Parts availability

Are things like break drums available for the duce. What happens if you need to replace a break drum? Are parts like this available? I have a chance to pick up a good condition M35A2 locally, but am worried about parts. Want to eventually restore it although its in really good shape.

I see both but I don't understand what the diff is. Is one better than the other?

M931 tractor vs M923a2 cargo I have been told that the M931 tractor rides much more rough than the M923A2 cargo. Is this true. I was also told the 931 tractor does not do as well off road due to less traction.

Does the M931A2 tractor drive and ride differently than the M923A2 cargo trucks?? I am looking at booth and have been told the M931 tractor rides more rough and gets less traction off road.

Thank you all! I have had the bug since I was 12. My father used to take me to his office downtown in Birmingham when I was a kid and a car dealer on 1st Ave had several surplus Army trucks for sale on the lot and I would walk down there and climb all over them. They had troop and cargo and...

Yea, I can drive it I guess. They say it "Hard to Start" don't know what that means but they also say it runs and drives and the bed lifts. Was worried that it may have a problem driving back here. Is hard to start a sign of a big problem or something like a fuel filter.

Looking at purchasing an M929A2 in Atlanta that will run but.... Need to get it back home to Alabaster Alabama just below Birmingham right off I65. Sometime around mid December of this year.

New to this site and looking to purchase an M923A2 or M929A2 in the coming weeks.
