Great "Pickups", they do make! Firewood, trips to the lumberyard, etc. Might be also be actively helping remodel/flip a house while living up there, and having wood heat, so it would come in handy I think. Plus that "Cool" factor. Fairbanks, AK itself has a pretty good bus system from what...

OK, so here's the deal as of now, the better part of a year later (It just made me realize how high my post count is already!). The story gets even weirder. So the truck ended up being a civvy flatbed (was convinced it was a Deuce from the description), BUT, there's a '68 M35A2 I'm going to try...

Looks good! That's pretty cool you'll be daily-driving this one! I'm possibly trying to pursue a '68 M35A2...as a first vehicle and daily driver.

That is kind of unusual IMO! You'd think it'd be noticeable!

Remind me, what's the backstory behind the hole in the block and the destruction of the transfer case?

Wow, that's terrifying!

Sounds like what my situation might be, I'm currently considering a '68 myself, as my first vehicle (18 y/o) and yup, most of my driving would probably happen at 50MPH on the freeway, knowing where I'd be driving.

Yours looks like an "A0", that is, a straight M923 (M939 series). M923A1 would've had the super singles but would have still had the Cummins NhC250 engine. A M923A2 would have the super singles, CTIS, a 6CTA 8.3L Cummins engine, and a turbo. "A0" isn't necessarily a true term, just used by...

THAT is pretty cool!

LOL. Yeah. Gotta have that!

I'm always glad to read others' stories of daily-driving theirs. I'm considering one myself and would probably daily-drive it, too. In the winter. In Alaska. In Fairbanks. rofl

Wow, sounds like you've got quite a bit going on with your trucks! I remember when you got your first, green 923 a few months back...your "collection" sure has "grown" since then!

Repowering these trucks has always fascinated me since I got interested in them. What are your plans for the M931? You must be keeping your two 923s now instead of selling out?

Wow, that sounds like it makes it even more fun, not having to do the "recovery" and "cleanup" work!

Welcome to the site! I'm also a kayaker, but out of necessity; I live in rural southeast Alaska on an island with no cars. So I'm also used to paddling in some nasty conditions!

Lookin' good, Andy! Simp, wow, that's a bummer. Pulling the engine out of the green 923 then?

Ah fun, 5 ton buried up above the axles!

I'd heard of Detroit lockers before, come to think of it!

Same here, I've never understood the concept of differentials very well...it might as well be magic...:lol:

^Agreed!
