That's great they learned to drive in the 5 ton! I had my first introduction to driving stick in a Deuce myself!

Maybe not a CUCV BUT you guys should seriously do some car crushing with the 5 tons and HEMTTS...:driver:

I say make sure all ducks are in a row of course, then if so go all in! You'll remember the recovery trip the rest of your life. Bring someone else familiar with the M939 series along if you can.

Congrats! New daily driver?

On a side note, beautiful M813!

Of course it will require more research, just something to consider in the meantime. It's not like there's truly a "deadline" in this case, which I can see causing issues unless a deadline was set.

Congratulations! These are great trucks. I almost bought a '68 as my first vehicle this past April; it was in good shape but needed tires.

Everybody seems to comment exactly that: That the little cars always seem way too close and don't realize what they're dealing with!

So true! But that just adds to the experience!

Another thought: What about a GoFundMe campaign to source the monies needed for Duece-Coupe to buy his former truck? It would thus be somewhat more universal and probably easier for everyone to contribute to. I don't know if the forum rules allow it to be linked to on here at all but it's...

Best of luck with that possibly working out for you two!

Don't know if I'd actually be able to contribute much financially to said cause (maybe something like $20 just to show my support and that I care) but I'd like to see that happen too. It'd be another example of how wonderful this group truly is! I'd be curious if such a thing would actually...

I say go for it! Worst comes to worst, sell it later if it doesn't work out. Depending on your state, you might need a CDL, but it'll be worth it. Maintenance can be expensive but you'll have so much fun you won't care. l plan on getting one too, as my first vehicle possibly, (18 year old...

I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but Wreckerman related this story to me the other day after I related my own bizarre small world story involving Steel Soldiers; I hope one day you and "your" M927A2 reunite! I wish you luck on the eventual purchase!

I'm definitely planning on getting some sort of a job to help cover the little day-to-day expenses, and maybe help squirrel away a little bit of money for the proverbial rainy day later on. I also would like to do a time slot at one of the university radio stations, as long as it isn't at some...

Also agreed, leave her a 6X6! :driver:

I say go for it! Where there's a will, there's a way! I'd like to get one myself, and have the same thoughts: "Why not?" I plan on possibly getting one as my first vehicle (18 Y/O college student), daily driving it, etc. I also like the off-road capability.

Yeah but this still isn't an air ride seat, correct? Is yours an A1 or an A2?

So at least now I won't have such a long drive. Still planning on getting one in a couple years as a daily driver. But for now since I'll be living on campus I think I'll do without a vehicle. I will, however, have another Steel Soldiers member as a roommate, who daily drove his M35A2 he used to...

OP, have you found yourself a truck yet?
