Is this the correct purchase price for a 1972 M820?

That was the same amount that was stated on mine when I bought one at auction. That is what the taxpayers paid for it new!

Your tax dollars at work.
At least when we buy them we get a return on our investment.....better than them going to the scrapper.

I don't think it comes with any tools and benches. I have not heard from anyone buying one with tools and stuff still in it. The box is very complex and probably consumes a major part of that cost. There is also the 100' 100 amp rated electrical cord that comes with the truck as well as the hydraulic liftgate. There is also an auxiliary pump that runs on 3 phase power. A 400 hz to 60 hz converter. And don't forget the heating and A/C in the back box!

If I m wrong about the tools and benches please let me know. I would love to see how they were installed in the box.

Goldneagle, that thing is very cool! Do you have any plans for it like making it into a camper that would make the M109 campers cry, keep it stock or something else?

Can one person open that up? Or do you need more?

Price would include -10 BII as listed in the TM. Would also as of date of the last purchase by Sam (might not be same year your truck was built).

Right now I am just hauling personal stuff in it. Later I plan on a camper conversion that will blow your socks off! All the cabinets and appliances will be modular so they can be repositioned when the sides are expanded out.

I opened it up on my own but you need more people in order to line up the panel PINS the align the walls as well as the ceiling portion. Without the help its a nightmare..in and out of the truck, up and down ladders!!!

I am sure they were much easier to handle when they were new and everything lined up perfect!
