Won this Sparta truck a few weeks ago. Drove it back to St Paul without issue. Did fluid change and flushed transmission with four flushes. Added new ATF and transmission filter. Flushed coolant-was pretty clean.
Added a set of new shoes too.
Truck had the typical hood surface rust that was flaking-even when driving. Removed the surface rust and paint. Primed with Eastwood rest encapsulator and painted with Gillipsie rattle can fake carc. Its better for now. The paint seems to settle down after a day or two-looked streaky and shiney at first. She is a good 50 footer now. Come spring it will get a proper paint striping and repaint.
I also own an M35A2 with winch. It drives better and seems like a better truck. However, the A3 is a little more fun to drive-not certain why.
