Nice find. What's the plan?

 

[yellowk20]

I picked up another 3.3 qsb cummins , its gonna be our camping rig

 

[TreadLite]

From what I can tell from the pics, it's looks pretty good for it's age. Have fun with your new toy.

 

[yellowk20]

Thanks! it is very solid, but like the CCKW its not a great candidate for a "correct" restoration so it will get some modern touches to make it more usable but still try to make it stock apperaing as much as possible

 

[RangerBob]

Come play with our toys...

Those look fun.

That machine is so quiet that initially I was thinking it ran off of battery power; neat.

wilkusmcrecon...tried this when I first came on board but did not get much of a response glad to see your thread. I live in Meadow Lakes just south of Big Lake off the Parks Hwy. Been looking to for a M923A2 w\winch with little luck. Found a nice M923A2 locally but owner has no idea what they are worth he is asking 45,000.00. From the looks of the rotting M3 and other mv he does not sell many. So I looking to buy in May and run it to Seattle and ferry it home unless someone hers sells a nice one. Been working with C&C Equipment and Don from SS and can only hope for the best. Take care drop me PM if your heading this way or need some help always looking to get more experience with the big boys.

subscribing. I LOVE AK!!! I drove the dalton & denali hwys back in 2015. I would LOVE to move up there one day. Y'all live in a paradise.

I spotted this M35A2 at the (west) end of the Denali Hwy. Does it belong to anyone on here?

Wainwright just outside Fairbanks in the early '70s. Always up for getting together with other Deuce or 5 ton owners, hit me up! 907-738-8388

[71DeuceAK]

Hey Wilkusmcrecon, glad to hear your truck is resting comfortably for the winter at least, I remember you telling me the story about bringing her up once things got settled. I may be going through Anchorage again in the spring, drop me a PM or a text if you're still up for trying to get together at some point.
