Just called Geico. They wanted 2100$ for a year, a little less than the last quote the gave me which was 2600 or so. Way too much! That's almost as much as I paid for the darn thing. I guess my age and record have an effect on that, but an approximate 1500$ difference compared to what most...
I am in the works with an agency right now. They are a local insurance broker. I told them what I have and what I want to do with it. They said I will have trouble finding an agency to insure it unless I agree to all the restrictions - no off road use, utility, hauling, etc... They found me...
I am glad someone brought up the out of state VA Antique plates, because that didn't really occur to me for some reason. I remember now getting the plates down in VA where we bought the truck. I actually have a lake house down there. The truck is primarily for here in MD, but at the time we...
Wow, thanks for all the input everyone! I don't get it... I mention "deuce and a half" or "military truck" or the like and every agent acts like I am speaking a different language. "Oh we don't insure those." "Ohhh no we can't help you. Try this number to a local agency that we last dealt...
I know there are a million threads out there about this... but many are outdated. I have been working on getting my 71 M35A2 tractor insured for months now. I've spent hours on the phone, filling out online applications, doing searches online and so forth all to no avail. I am getting quite...
Guys, I have really good news! I located an engine nearby for 375$! It's brand new looking, still in it's original crate. We bought it and got it home - what an ordeal! Tire blew out on the U-Haul trailer... up all night, had to miss work the next day. It seems like our truck is surrounded...
It just sat for a week. We had to leave it down in VA about 2 1/2 hrs. from home due to it smoking so bad. We went down and it started like immediately, and actually ran great pulling it onto the trailer to bring it home, only issue was we noticed oil shooting out of the base of the rusted...
Well, the turbo is not stuck. I removed the intake pipe and it spins freely without making noise. What I meant was that it has no play in it, as in bearing play. But, The intake pipe was fairly clean and oil free, so the oil must be coming from the turbo. Can I take it off and rebuild it...
Sorry for the delay!
What do you think? No interior pictures or under hood or under carriage pics yet.
Where can we get a complete running take out replacement engine? We have the 134 HP turbo multi engine. We are in Maryland.
There is a pretty big rust hole at the base of the...

Thank you to everyone for all the feedback. What we have right not is a deuce we have about 3500 tied up in. We both love the truck and want it back on the road. I absolutely love driving the thing, even when it has a miss and dumps white smoke everywhere.,
We want to be really smart with...
Well, we read all the replies here and did our research and decided to go for it. It ran great down at the lake house where we bought in in southern VA. We topped off the oil and coolant, tested it out on the road, and decided to try to drive it home about 250 miles. I took the first shift in...
My parents have a vacation house, and every time I would go down there I would pass this old cool looking army truck sitting in a field. A for sale sign appeared on it, and it has been there for a few months now. My buddy and I had to stop and look at it. We loved it. The next day we met the...
