very cool, what a great find...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You didn't read the last couple of pages did youvery cool, what a great find...
You don't get a title for a vehicle that old in GA...unless you have a title from another state. Just a tag/registration.Wait a second...what does the title say?
I thought my M1031 was low mileage with 9009 original. It had all the same paperwork with it, save the -10 and LO. No pioneer tool rack, just 5 pound purple K extinguisher, road triangles, lug wrench and jack handle.
This is a very fair point. I'll offer only this: any mods I do I try to make as reversible as possible, and any parts installed I try to keep military. I do this for purely selfish reasons. For one, I like the military feel, and second, someday, if need-be, I can sell it for significantly more, I suspect, than one that's been "Bubba'd."October 31st, 2012.

Sorry to hear that your M1031 got caught up in an NCIS investigation. While I have differed from you in the past as what should be or not be done with the truck, this issue points up a very real fact that the Steel Soldiers members need to reflect on.
I hope everything works out in your favor. I think it's kinda silly that 3 years later you get a phone call about it. I would think they would have bigger fish to fryGot a lovely phone call from NCIS today, the dang thing could possibly be hot!!! In my eyes, what a kick in the tail. I'm not sure where this mess may go but I've truly got the wind knocked out of me at the moment. I'll know more Monday when I go in to do an interview with the investigator. It's a 27 year old truck, they shouldn't want it back but you never know. They certainly want pictures of it.
Go back and read post #102very very nice ! !
Dude - You did the right thing. Even though it sometimes seems like you get slapped around a little by being honorable in the end you will never regret it. I know things will work out for you. Keep us posted.Firstly, wow, that change you made to the first post looks rough Warthog. It's true though, it may be repo'd but we'll see how that works out in the coming weeks or months.
Secondly, I owe an explanation of how NCIS found me for those who are curious. I work at the Base in Albany as a Civilian for the Marine Corps. I enjoy my job, it pay's pretty good and helps keep food on the table for my family. Of course, rumors run rampant on any military installation. I started hearing some scuttlebutt about the gentlemen I purchased the truck from and how he had been instigated in some shady deals and was under investigation. I spoke with my supervisor about my situation and he got me an appointment with my Director. I gave him copies of the bill of sale, the cashiers check, the registration, tag receipts for the past few years and a letter detailing the very basics of the transaction. He forwarded the packet to NCIS. This may sound like a bad move to make to anyone whose bread and butter is not paid for by Uncle Sam. I talked this over with another member on here who is older and wiser than myself. Long story short, my livelihood is worth more than the truck. I paid $2,500 for it, I may lose it but by coming forward, my name is cleared from any wrong doing. Instead of waiting for Uncle to come looking for me, by the way he would have found me eventually, I'm still in good terms with my employer.
Lastly, the truck is 27 years old, it's obsolete and per phone conversation, they just want pics of the truck in support of their investigation. If they do decide to take the truck, I'll sue the person who wrote me the bill of sale for way more than I paid for it. Consider the fact I've kept current maintenance, registration, insurance and as much as I hate to say it, "pain and suffering." I'll wait for it to come to GL and buy the dumb thing back for the sake of my youngest son who is very attached to it. To quote my Mother, "This too shall pass" and that's the viewpoint I'll take regarding this situation.

You jumped right in there but I truly appreciate your friendship, mentorship and advice. Thanks to the Army that we have the fellowship and advice of the Imperial First Sergeant!!!!
