It took me about 2 weeks of fielding bids before I found one on uship that was in my price range, so it helps to have a very broad window for pick up and drop off dates. That will let you be picky and wait for an offer on a back haul. It is an auction site after all. I used garfieldtotherescue...

This is where the search function is your friend. A search here on SS or even google brings up dozens of images. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/30647-m820a2-home-safe-now-its-time-check-her-out.html...

The x just means it was bought as a individual sale " one truck " instead of under contract. " lots of trucks "

First, let me say since my wife was Airborne I know shes nuts. Second, modern parachutes as in not the siht that the Army uses for static jumps are far better then they used to be. Third, Sky diving is one of the few adrenaline junkie things I never got around to doing before I was injured...

Would have had to been a 900 series like the M934 van body or the m927 XLWB. The M809 series did not have singles until the last 10 or 15 years and are non standard.

Check out the 900 series trucks.

Yes.

The direct route on google maps shows 2383 miles city to city. Nearly every city on the route I can find members in just doing a quick search. I am available 24/7 here in Houston Tx right now if you decide to drive send me a pm for contact info before April. After April I am going back to the...

Drive it.

I have driven my M820A2 thousands of miles and have yet to get anyone angry at me for driving slow. They are normally too busy taking pictures and waving. I have had some near accidents because people are trying to take pictures with phones while driving.

Psycho-6 lets see some pics of your M819. Thats the vehicle I want most.

How soon can you be in Houston?

Seen it before. I really like the cab forward design of the vehicle as it allows you to use more of the length of the truck. Since mine does not have that I am utilizing the expanding van sections to make the main floor of the box 17 ft by 14 ft. The debate goes on with the wife over putting a...

I hate my 5 tons when looking for parts.

Dburt you can find them for sale for way less then that. I know there is one in the classifieds.

The m292 vehicles have a longer wheel base in order to handle the length of the 17 foot box. The box also weighs in a little over 6000 pounds so a 2.5 ton is going to struggle to pull that box. I believe they were meant for range control vehicles and hence seldom moved.

Sent you the contact info for the MVPA, local museum and a guy I know to be honest in the Houston area. At least one of them should be able to help you out.

LOL NO He is real close to the storage facility I use.

If that would not cost me more then the cost of the truck to ship it down here I would buy it in a heart beat. Beautiful looking truck. By the way 5 tons will rip the wallet out of your pants take your money credit cards family photos and wedding ring, then leave you asking when you can do it...

Well this latest acquisition has been sold. I agree with the above posters that its too nice to part out I got an offer from a collector that wants to restore it. In exchange I get the winch assembly and parts I needed off another truck.
