    Talk to me about getting an M1078...

    Thanks, but no. I had a Deuce, and while it was a fun truck, it was a beast to drive, so I want something nicer for the next one. In the short term, I just bought a '81 GMC 7000 that's in great shape, and comes with a spare rebuilt 366. I'm putting a 14' 5-ton bed on it that I found...

    Talk to me about getting an M1078...

    Thanks for all the input fellas! I'm going to keep looking, and hope for a glut of trucks to go to auction soon. I'm plenty capable of dealing with a non-runner, and I still think an M1078 would work out better for me than a 923A2. I'll keep watching, and hopefully be able to make a trip...

    Thanks for the feedback fellas! I'll concede that $4k might be unlikely, at least in the near future, but $6k for a running driving truck has been done many times. I know there are risks with buying any truck from GP, but I'm willing to take those risks at this point. If a good lot of them...

    Talk to me about getting an M1078...

    Well, it's been 7 years since I sold my 1st (and only) Deuce, as well as the two M1008's that I had back in MI... Wife and I are building a house in Colorado over the next two years, and I've been looking for a sub-26,000gvw / sub-$4000 dump truck. I haven't found anything that isn't going to...
