That one looks pretty roached but...
As for dealing with T-K - I traded a vehicle plus $ for the BTR-40. Then this spring I bought that vehicle back from Larry.
Both times it was an easy transaction. Now in my case both vehicles were already stateside so I cannot say exactly how using them for importing would be - but dealing...
I can tell you that a BTR-40 would not be fun for you to drive at 6'2". Even the Israeli mods do not make it much better. I am 5'9" and my legs get a bit cramped in there.
Rest of the vehicle is nice a roomy though - of course no top cover or turret helps with that...
Taking out the belly wheels is a pretty drastic change from original - but it is your toy and I hear that mod is a common one to give more room inside :-)

First - Congrats on getting it home and it driving - even if it needs more work that is a great feeling to drive your new toy around. I cannot wait until i can drive my BTR-152 under its own power.

Figured if somebody happened to have space, was coming from...
Stopped last Friday on my way past and picked up some more goodies.
Glen was as busy as usual - had a crowd of people all wanting some of his time.
He still did his best to spend some time with each person - great guy!
And as always - a fun time was had picking parts from the yard.
I bought an M37 off Ebay that is located in Delta, CO (near Grand Junction).
I need to get it to near Kansas City, KS
So - I will have an empty 30ft gooseneck going from near St Louis, MO out to Delta, CO.
I am going down I-70 so through Denver area.
I will be going right by BFR...
