I know old thread revival, but what the heck. 2 years later and I still haven't bought a truck or driven one for that matter. A little back story I thought we might be buying a house so I cooled my jets, but we still haven't done that either so I still think I want a M35A2 just for simplicity...

This shouldn't be too far from you and probably about as cheap of a running deuce you'll find.

Yeah I just googled Trevorton, PA it is about 3 hours away from me.

Not really central more like MidWestern PA. I am about 2 hours (by car) SW of State College and about 2 hours (by car) NE of Pittsburgh.

(Double post)

The purpose of the truck would be general farm use primarily (hauling fertilizer, hay, fence posts) with parades, and MV gatherings as well and some light off roading.

Would you guys recommend a newer truck like a M923a2 over a M35a2 for a newbie? Or are they just as much work to maintain. I'm not a stanger to big diesels we have a 180 hp 4wheel drive CaseIH 7130 and a 125 hp 4320 John Deere and a 100+hp 4400 John Deere combine. So big diesels and...

Gunboy1656, Are you available Sunday? Saturday we are slaughtering pigs in the morning and butchering a beef in the afternoon so my day is shot. Next weekend we will be butchering the pigs so no go next Saturday either. After that I should be good until planting time. 60 acres of corn takes...

Well now you guys have me a little spooked. I am starting to doubt my ability to own one of these behemoth's. Maybe I should look at CUCV's or something. I don't know seems like ALOT of work for a little fun.

And no I haven't driven one, but want to. Yes I realize how big they are. I don't have to worry about HOA's I have 260 acres to play on.

Give me the details. Location, with winch or not, hard top or not, stock or not, price. You can pm me if you don't want to put it in this thread.

Thanks for the advice SteveKuhn. Maybe I should have asked something along the lines of "Would you buy this deuce as your first deuce?" I did somewhat look at it in person once, but I wasn't shopping for a deuce then. Now I am. He is only an hour away so I can pretty much go look at it...

I just got this from the owner. It may help to clear up the confusion. The truck was original when I bought it from the government. The MLVW wheels are imported from Quebec at a cost of $300.00 a piece. They are not modified wheels and are DOT approved for highway use.They have the same rim...

What does w/w mean? With winch? I am an EXTREME noob to these trucks, but I figured this is the place to ask questions. Thanks for all the help. I sent the owner a email asking him for more info/pictures.

I guess maybe I screwed my description up. I see bows and a hard top as well and don't see a winch. How much does that change the price? I would rather have a winch than the top and bows. I don't know I wasn't looking at this truck when I went to his house so I didn't study it. I was...
