Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
For what ever its worth, over the July 4th week I just picked up a 1955 (delivered March 1956) M220 from GL (NO EUC REQUIRED) that was actively registered with the US Army. Surely there can't be many like this, but there was one and there might be more somewhere in the bowels of an out of the way camp that will be FOI. And yes, the prices will likely rise to meet the demand and supply. My old deuce cost me as much as an M35a2. I have been stunned at M37 prices of late as another example. I bought mine for $300 from GSA back in 1963. 5 years later I paid more than that for an M101 trailer. I paid more for a winch than what I paid for the truck. I paid more for M37 parts trucks than I paid for my original truck. ~~ I say buy them up now while the prices are low and spares are available and cheap.There are some members on the site that have access to that information but I don't think anyone has posted an exact number.
As I understand it there are officially no deuces or 800 series trucks left in the Active Army inventory......that does not mean that some have been overlooked and are stashed in some sort of hold pattern or "war stock" status.
A lot of surplus vehicles are drawn out of DRMO by various state and Federal agencies.....at some point in time they will be surplussed out thorugh GSA or similar agency.
Once they are officially out of the Nat Guard and Reserve units the price may go up as this is where most of them are coming from now.
There are also a lot of new parts now being sold off but most of them are being snapped up by the larger surplus dealers with big pockets.
