Check with ATANKERSDAD...he has gotten several trucks out of IA.

It sounds like you have the extended height cargo cover. If you don't care about looks...only that it is good for camping...let it hang down low. The big problem you will have is fastening it to the bed. There are no tie-downs that low, although I would assume you can find tie-down points. I...

Did the previous owner have any problems with it? My recommendation would be to first contact the seller to see if he can offer any advice.

I would have had it shipped. Shipping costs money. There is no doubt it adds to the cost of a truck, but it is a cost that you have to incur just like tax and the price of the vehicle...that is, unless you have tags and insurance. I honestly wish GL would BAN the driving out of vehicles...

Jason and Chris are correct. Watch your fingers.

I recommend that you replace them. As stated above, that is a 10 ton mirror arm. They stick out awfully far...so far, in fact, that you might hit another truck's mirrors when driving down the road or approaching head on. Ask me how I know that! I was headed one way and a box truck was headed...

The military used tires like that back in the 40s. I think they called it the chevron pattern.

The M715 is a nice military vehicle...very under-appreciated in my opinion. A little surprising that no one has responded to your thread. Had you posted about a bobbed deuce or a question about how much you should spend on a deuce at auction, you would have had many posts already. Looking...

Do you want to sell the M36E3? I am not in the market, but there has to be someone who will trade you a nice truck and cash or buy it straight up. I saw that truck and watched it, but could not pull the trigger. A CAT with a manual transmission seems awful appealing to me. I suppose it will...

This depends upon your need. Are you trying to power a house? How much power do you need? All things being equal, I'd rather have too much power than too little.

I have a tan cover on my trailer. The trailer is one I am listing with four others for sale as a package in the classified list. If I sell the trailer, and the other buyer does not want a cargo cover (note that the cargo covers are not included in the original deal), I will sell the cover. It...

Neil, don't waste your breath. He paid his money to play and he is going to do as he sees fit...irrespective of our opinions.

I agree...head gasket. Make sure you get the D head gasket set and not the older C style head gasket.

I honestly took no offense to any comments. I was just trying to provide info about the truck. No worries.

First, the transmission is a 4-speed, not a 3-speed. If your truck only has three speeds, that could explain why you find it unbearable on the road. Second, the electric wipers have two speeds...low and high. I have dealt with the air wipers on the A2s for many years and find them to be...

Gimp, get it! The bridge trucks are hard to come by. You should be able to get it fairly cheaply if it is a gasser (and because it is overwidth). Personally, I'd like to find an M812 or M945, but money is tight these days!

The brake issue sounds like an air-pack problem...at least that is where I would start. In terms of the turning radius, it is tough to tell without driving the truck, but I have never experienced anything like that, even in my LWB cargos. Those trucks have the same chassis, I believe, as your...

What about an A3 makes it interesting or unusual? There have been many trucks that have been sold. Thousands were made. I suppose that anyone could make the argument that any truck was "interesting" on some level to them. You are wrong on the link issue. While there are exceptions, I can...

Let me add that I love the A2s. I just have never heard from anyone who owned an A3 anything but positive remarks about the truck. I have spoken to guys who have, or have had, A2s and A3s and they have told me the same thing I am saying here...the A3 is a nicer truck to operate. Which one...

I started it for ARMYMAN30YEARSPLUS's funeral when it was zero degrees. It took a sniff of ether, but it started just fine. Anyone who own one have any negative feedback?
