Got a buddy wondering how high to bid. Truck has sat for 10 yrs, but "ran when parked".

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
How much would you bid on an M819?

If you can get the whole thing running, and it's not too rusty, maybe $5K. If you can't get it running on-site, maybe $2500.

$1K - $20K, depending on condition. Got any pics?

Gimp, do I really want it? If I do, I'd bid a dollar more than you.
No, seriously...it would have to be worth what an M816 would bring. They are less desirable to the masses, but they are more rare and that makes them desirable.

Here's the pics fron the auction. There were actually 2 of these there(similar conditions). The contact there said, they were used to move vehicles in their impound lots. The received them from Federal Surplus, about 20 years ago. They have not been used in about 10 years.

I see both are closed. Did you guys get one? I think they are worth it for the money they went for. Not the best but a good budget wrecker. Like Gimp pointed out to me, the boom on the 819 is longer than the 816 but you do loose the rear recovery winch. The fifth wheel is pretty nice to have.

Hi,
That is a great looking truck and a great price too! Congrats! I see it has General HCT 12"x20"s on the front like my brothers Oshkosh has. They are great tires.
If you need any questions answered I'd be happy to....tell you to go search ( just joking )

Can anyone guess what I am getting for my 16th wedding anniversary on Friday?
Past years I have received ATVs, snowmobiles, etc!

SO, I promised I would do the recovery. How long is the 819, I am going to need to extend my wrecker's tow-light bar thingy.
