Hello All,
I have the opportunity to purchase an M1045A2 for what I think is a reasonable price these days. Its a 2003 6.5 with 4 speed. For me I always wanted a Slant Back. The problem is I love my 1987 M998 and have done most of the work and all the maintenance myself. It is a badass Truck. I also have a lot of new spare parts for it.
Now the kicker. I most likely will have to sell her at some point to fund the purchase / restoration. Mt question is by going to the M1045A2 will there be that much of a difference when it comes to the drivability of the vehicle and shear enjoyment. I know many of you must have taken this same journey. Also are any of the parts interchangeable? I have three new half-shafts as an example. I look forward to hearing what you think. Thanks in advance!
