you mean no worries in Ohio, or no worries in General? Or only because they have historical plates? What I'm really worried about is driving it back home from the auction on a Temporary Moving Permit and a Class C DL. I recently contacted a CDL driver who's willing to do drive it home with me...

How much did the bed go for and where did you get? Where did the spare tire go?

Really less than 26,000 lbs? Is it registered as an RV or just registered as a regular truck with a GVWR of less than 26,000 lbs? What GVWR does the VIN plate say on the vehicle?

So how's the ride feel like on your m931 with a 10' bed like that on? Looks like something i had in mind! Did you put the bed on before or after getting your registration? What is your declared GVWR on the registration? I was wondering if something like this can be registered below 26,000.

Wow!! So you cut a 14' bed short to a 10' bed, but from what truck? Still an M35? Where does the spare go?

how much would a 12' deuce bed cost? what are the best civi beds so far? and what did you do about the heavy spring pack?

Wow, Alex G's price are up the roof! Nice trucks though, really nice.

WOW that is a sweet sweet ride!!! Cant wait to have one of my own!!!!

dburt, I will definitely checkout alex g's work. I wonder how hard it would be to lighten up the spring pack and add an m35 bed?

Oh I didn't know that the spring pack was that heavy that it actually affects the ride a bit without the extra cargo. If I do get one, I dont think i would go off road with it anyway. So if an m931 has a shorter wheelbase than a 923, then it is possible for a 931 to be actually less than...

What is the GVWR stamped on the plates? I saw an ad on another truck elsewhere and he said he registered his truck as an RV at 21,000lbs GVWR which was stamped right on the plate. He said he's been driving it around with a class C license so I'm wondering if it's like that for all other m931a2...

I will call Jeff, thanks for the info!! I kinda figured about the prices on the tires. I will take your advice, I'm actually looking at a few trucks directly from owners. anyway, someone keeps outbidding me on this thing, probably too much of a risk for a newb like me trying to get something...

You know I'm a real newbie to this thing but I've been scouring through the forums and in the strictest sense of the law, from what I've read, the state troopers that COULD pull you over for any reason MAY tell you that they will base the GVWR on the axles and not your declared GVW change. Of...

I've been seeing pretty decent prices on the M931A2 trucks for sale online by private owners. I was wondering if it would be too much of a hassle or too expenseive to convert these M931A2 trucks into a dropside/flatbed type like the M923A2 trucks? I keep getting outbid on the GL auctions and...

Gotcha, I'll give them a call today see how much they'll quote for this particular truck! thanks!!!

Sure will read up and rehearse everything on the pre trip, but i still have to look up a friend to see if he's willing to babysit me on this CDL instruction permit. Gotcha on the oil leaks. I hope things turn out ok with the written test first this week! Thanks for the tips!!! :)

In what way is a non-commercial A/B so much different from a CDL? I went to the DMV office yesterday, and the DMV guy said that just lately the medical examination isn't mandatory anymore for the CDL. Gotcha about the rented/leased vehicle. I will contact a friend that used to do construction...

thanks zebedde, working with a local commercial business seems like a good plan B in case i don't find a CMV owner with a CDL to help out. Paying for a truck at Penske seems like a brilliant idea, a good incentive for the business owner. Genius!

Valuable info guys, so i guess tomorrow I will have to look for a guy with a CDL who owns a civi CMV stick who is willing to spend a few hours with me till i get the hang of it. Best idea so far! Thanks so much guys!!!

HASSON1911, I was thinking about doing that, buying one first then getting it towed or hiring someone with a CDL to drive it from let's say Barstow (or some other place) to Las Vegas. But I was kind of worried about how much it would cost to hire someone to drive a pretty beast like an m923a2...
