Hi,
I just wanted to share some photos of the M923 that my brother and I have added to our small motorpool of big trucks. Just like the M819 (found in the bushes while out looking for HD leaf springs for a 1ton Dump) we came across this gem in a similar manner.
We have already dubbed it "princess" or "prissy" due to its luxurious features and appointments
. Its definately not our style but we just couldn't resist.
We like the fact that it wasn't an A1 or A2. They can keep their electronic engine controls, CTIS & super singles
.
-Its a 1984 AM General. We think its a USAF truck (only cuz one of the "buckle up" dash stickers is by order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the USAF.)
-It has 12,000 mi. and 365 hrs.
-You Michigan/Minn. guys must be getting a stiffy by looking at the 4 color winter pattern
We'llprob. make it 3 color woodland but the current paint job is pretty nice.
-The only real maintenance issues beyond normal is the pass. side boot is wet but not dripping (still class 1) This truck is otherwise bone dry underneath. I just hope it stays that way after we start driving it.
-Its missing a spare tire, cargo bows and cover and the seats have rips in them. The rear mudflaps are bent and the troopsides need prime and paint. Otherwise it looks and operates great.

Oh and BTW..... this truck WILL be at the Rausch Creek Rally next week. We are currently PMing it.
Thanks for letting me share. Enjoy the pictures. Let me know what you guys think.
