So, is there a way to tell if the engine was actually overhauled? Is there a MWO number associated with it?

Does anyone here know why some trucks get rebuilt / overhauled? Is it becuase they were wrecked or something? Were they rusted out? I'm just trying to figure out the reason why a truck would need to be rebuilt at 15,000 miles or so. Do they they just spray some paint on and replace anything...

I think some trucks may have a battery relocation kit installed to move the batteries from under the passenger seat.

Good point on the insurance. I called my agent this afternoon and they quoted about $260 per year for liablility only - (not a historc vehicle, just a commercial truck.

Thanks for the feedback everyone... looks like an A2 model is for me then...now my next decision is whether to by one that has already had a refurb or one that I update myself....hmmmm...

I am still trying to choose between buying a M923A1 and a M923A2. For me, I think the real difference will be the operating cost. Operationally, I don’t see a big difference between the turbo engines vs. the normally aspirated engines other than fuel burn. I see some people on SS getting 5...

Great looking truck! What kind of paint did you use? I think the black on green is better than the black, green, brown.

Dave, Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like even the BMV doesn't even have a consistent response to these questoins. I need stop by my local BMV and see if I can find a knowlegable person to talk too. I looked up the price for 26,000 # plates... ouch... Apparently a CDL is required for...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have been online most of the day doing research on these M923s. I see several M923s have sold in recently in Delaware that were recent rebuilds, the paint looks good. The ones sold recently in Indy did not appear to be re-built. Can anyone tell me what...

Joe, Thanks for the recovery info. I'll be keeping an eye out for new M923A2 or M925A2 lots up for sale. I live pretty close to Indy. Does anyone just drive these trucks off the lot? My hope is to find one in good working condition and simply drive it home. I guess, however, I could get a...

Hello Everyone. My name is Don and I am new to this site. I have recently decided that it is time for me to get my mid-life crisis out of the way. My wife did not approve the new Corvette idea or the blonde mistress concept…. However; she is fully supports getting an M923 or similar truck...
