The main thing and most important on buying any modified large truck is the workmanship. I know of one deuce bobber where the entire rear end (axle, springs and spacer was held on with 8 (four on each side) grade 5 9/16 bolts with less than 2 threads showing past the nuts and the nuts were on the top. It looked good from 10' away, also instead of cutting and flaring the rear air lines and putting the valves back on, the lines were cut with hack saw and rolled up and clamped shut with a vise grip.

Anytime they emphasize the low miles and claim that to be factual raises red flags for me as to what else may be misrepresented.

Looks nice, the owner certainly did some good work to it. But I'm not sure about $15k. Seems high, but if it's worth it to you then why not! I've only owned M35A3's that belonged to Uncle, so I don't know if removing the rear axle increases speed, but 60mph seems high. I'll bet that Cat is screaming at 60.

Anything with a yaller motor is going to cost you money when it breaks.

Very true, but the "Cats" cost even more !

At 60mph that engine isn't going to hold together too long. Many in neutral down hill. But then what about brakes? Yikes!

I like short wheelbase 6x6 5ton cargo trucks. Less $$, more capable, full airbrakes, can cruise at hwy speed, Cummins goodness . . .

Who needs Brakes? JUMP!!
