That is such a beautiful machine. I am so glad a fellow collector got it and not a foreign government or dealer. Great that you got it so reasonable. I thought I did well on mine, but that is a real bargain on a standout truck.
Are those 1400 or 1600 tires? And what is your top speed with them?
Edit: Erg.. Nevermind

Miles and hours for the M923 were 1,575 miles and 29 hours.
I got an avg of 8 mpg running at an avg speed of 63 mph. Total fuel cost around $750.00(just for the M923. not counting my CUCV-II with trailer).
Top speed was 72 mph down a hill with top speed on a flat road of 69 mph.
The truck drove best at around 62 mph.

The tires are 1400R x 20, The top speed is around 68 now ( I did have it at 72 mph by the GPS, but that was when I first picked it up. I think the fuel filter picked up some junk from the fuel tank)
The wife wants me to sell it, but I think I'll just have to get a new wife...lol

Well I have had several wives that I would have gladly traded for that truck you have, but the wife I have now thinks the trucks are just fine as long as I keep them out of the flowerbeds.
Hope you manage to keep it, it is an unusual find for the price/condition.
Try making it pretty for her. Put in some nice curtains.
