XM,
You'll love the M211 when you are finished with the restoration. My first experience in an MV was when I got to ride in an M211 when I was 10 years old.
I always thought these trucks were, in many respects, about 40 years ahead of their time.
I love ole' betsy...the 211. She was my 2nd MV and yes...she is cantankerous as all get out. You know what though? She will start when the diesels don't wanna...now shifting and stopping...well...she is in charge there!!!
If ya look at the suspension she has...JEEZE!!! She should be rated 10ton and drives/rides better that any M35 series I have seen.
Stalwart...I don't think I would give up the Wife for ole' betsy...but I might have ta ponder that for a few GOSH I hope she don't see this!
I dont know whether to laugh or cry for you! But the beast is the best in my book even with all its ,ummm, moods. I woudnt trade mine for any other. Truly a truck ahead of its time even yet.
