Just came across this beauty on ebay a few week's back.... Cummins V8 300 gov. rebuild 1989....put a wrench on it and it rolled over with no hesitation, thinking of putting it in the M125-A1 when I finally get off my butt and get working on it again!!
This truck was listed in the classified's.... made a deal with the owner and it will coming to Florida in the next couple of week's....he backed it up into his barn back in 2015 in Michigan and there it has sat until the other day he pulled it out with his backhoe to get me some better...
The E-2 when it arrived last August 2022... have not done nothing to it other than putting a canvas top on it, but have wanted to put batteries in it and see what would happen after sitting 30yrs....it took some doing but got the headlight's working a couple day's ago... :-D

Went trough and checked fluid level's on axle's and transmission\transfercase...all nice and clean just had to add a small amount to the transfercase...real happy with this truck mechanically... looking forward to when I can make time to get a fresh coat of paint on it.
Stretched this girl out yesterday morning....it has not see more than 15mph in over 30yrs.... put in 30 gallon's of fuel, changed oil and filter's and I went with Stanadyne for fuel additive...ran it around pretty good for an hour or so and it ran flawlessly....the smoke issue has all but...
This was on ebay a month or so back and never sold, the seller was good enough not relist it and wait for me to get my funding in order. It arrived this week from Detroit Michigan...nice complete truck just some minor mechanical issue's to take care of and a good paint job and it will be a...
