Curious, on a related note, 74M35A2, would your soon to be new setup pass the California emissions laws? As someone who is moving back there eventually, hopefully an M939 in tow, I'd like to repower to get around the bans.

Great idea, brilliant! Cape Coastie, I hope you don't mind if I plagarize this when I get my M923.

Definitely, definitely, definitely, DO NOT scrap it. 928's are pretty darn rare, there were only about 500 of the 927/928 ever made as I understand it and many have been chopped up into other things. IF you decide you're scrapping, I'm on the hunt for a 928. Running or non-running. Would...

Keeping the M929?

Very nice! I, too, am planning on doing something like this but with an M927 or M928 5 ton.

Uhg. That's really unfortunate. Have you considered, crazy as it sounds, cameras?

You sound kinda like me; while I have no interest in bikes (likely because a loved one was killed in a motorcyle accident, though through no fault of his own; someone ran him off the road) I basically intend to daily drive the one I'm getting.

I like it. Being basically bonded to the metal frame should likely increase the antenna gain too. Seeing the stereo, this truck your daily driver?

I like it! I, too, would like to put a radio in my M923 I'm getting, especially since if I can I'd more or less daily drive it. Where's the antenna for the radio?

Congrats! I almost bought one of these once, also a '68.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, good luck in your search! I, too, am hopefully acquiring an M923 by year's end to enjoy to the fullest and, frankly, if I can, daily drive.

Interesting. I can relate to the OP, I was determined I'd own a Deuce as my first vehicle. (I still would). I almost bought one this past September; a '68 M35A2. only thing that stopped me was not being fully licensed so I wouldn't have been able to get it insured. At another, previous...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers! I'm considering doing something similar but with an M927 or an M928.

Any updates, he made it home yet?

98G, Dude, you have some of the craziest stories! This truck yours or someone else's you're recovering? I can't wait for the maiden/recovery trip from CA to AK in my M923 I'm getting, it'll be an adventure either way!

Congrats, Coffey1!

Coffey1, you got a 5 ton again?

Wes, you going duals (but bigger duals) on that M923A1?

71DeuceAK checking in here from Fairbanks. Formerly from Southeast. Should be picking up an '84 M923 from CA from a friend there, who used to be stationed at Ft. Wainwright just outside Fairbanks in the early '70s. Always up for getting together with other Deuce or 5 ton owners, hit me up...

Congrats! Keep us posted!
