Well, my foray into the world of the deuce-and-a-half is coming to an end. I found a really great truck and had a great time driving it around and working on it. It really gives you quite a feeling of power driving it. However, after a couple trips to the farm, I've found that it is not going to be a good fit. Our farm is fairly hilly and usually muddy which seems to be a very bad fit for the deuce.
At any rate, it's for sale and I posted it in the For Sale forum. I probably should've kept the M715 I restored earlier this year, but the deuce was calling my name, you know how it goes. Anyway, at least I get to track down and clean up another M715, now.
