Thats right, esp if you look at what the Gov paid for a deuce 40 years ago. hmmm what would that be today?

:ditto: Resistance is futile.

I hear ya on the "not plug and play" part. My hat is off to you for hanging in there and overcoming obstacles as they come up.

How about importing some parts for those truck. Ya 'spose they could import on over here a chitload of dem dere power assist steering units and sell em for say ummmm 350.00 a kit?:grd:

:ditto:and welcome. Also keep an eye out on that craigslist. Maybe the prices are a little higher than GL, but it is not all waste. You can test drive, inspect, and own right away. Also if there is already a title, that is a nice touch too.

I hate to sound negative, but I doubt its worth his time. Lots of deuce guys are bargain hunters and would talk themselves out of it when it came to crunch time. They would go to napa and get a few chunks of steel line to fix what is needed. There is no doubt that stainless would be way better...

I think its rare and cool, kudos to whomever won it. Too bad they didnt make these things go say 5-8-10 miles an hour faster then an A2 instead of slower then an A2. Would have given the A3 guys more arguing ammo. Has there ever been a thread comparing the A2 to the A3? LOL , JUST KIDDING :rolleyes:

By the way what are you going to pull for a hopper? Please keep me informed as to how the M915A1 works out for a grain hauler and what kind of mileage you average too. Thanks

Thats a super nice lookin truck you got there. It makes alot of sence for a grain farmer to get into this type of MV. I may have to follow suit one day when my old Volvo peters out. You got me hoping i throw a rod in it this summer..lol,,welcome to the site.

And now, commence twiddling ur thumbs...sounds like another 1st time EUC guy like myself. I am at around 45ish days and waiting patiently. I mean just waiting

Hope I can get great results like that when I give painting this deuce a shot..great job!

I think this is what you saw. Just stumbled upon this the other day on ebay. I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THIS AUCTION. M 35 A2 deuce and half 1971 parts turbo : eBay Motors (item 270231764182 end time May-14-10 16:09:37 PDT) Seems a fairly decent buy it now price. Hmmm maybe I will make a 400.00...

Hi IFG , I am around 110 miles north of you near Austin Mn. Great to see a new future MV owner in my neck of the corn.

In my opinion, either format is OK as long as you understand it ahead of time. On E-bay, if you REALLY want an item, you will learn to snipe bid. Snipe or be sniped. It is less effective on GL with the 15 min rule, but still if you Really want it, ya better be there at the end.

These guys are located not far from me and they have been a real good used truck parts source for me. I don't know if they can help, but here is a link for their site. Thompson Motors - Used Trucks, Motors, Transmissions, Truck Parts Hope this setup works out well for you. I havent got my...

Hope all goes well Preacherboy on the deuce. I will be waiting to see the pics when you get it. I too am going to be a new deuce owner as I snagged 3 of them wo/w that same day that you got yours. Ultimately I may part with one ..not sure yet. Anyway congrats and good luck with the euc wait. (at...

now there is a guy who could have benefited from doing a lil lookin around. (In response to Duffman 1993s post)

To me it sounds like the price you paid is right in line with what I have been seeing on GL lately. Around the mid eights for an A3 w/w. Nice truck and congradulations. I am also new to mv's and initially was bidding on A3'S but wound up going the A2 route due to the price and parts...

Matt I was looking at the "help" section on the GL site. Not sure if your age is a prob, but is this a prob---Q: Do I need a credit card to register/bid? A: A valid credit card (or debit card with a credit card icon) is not required to register; however, it is required to place bids. Upon...
