Try to buy close to you so you can preview and to save trans cost if it isn't a driver.
If you want to check prices go in when the auction first opens (and I mean just as it opens) and put the minimum bid in.
You will get outbid but you can watch the outcome and what each one sold for...DO...
Unless a deuce had slipped through the cracks (maybe been on a range or something) finding a non-turbo truck would be rare....the EPA mandated that all military vehicles be upgraded to cut down "visible emissions". The 800 series 5 tons remained NA but all of the deuces that went through depot...
When I was little we were so poor all I got for Christmas was a pair of blue jeans with the pockets cut out....so I would have something to wear and something to play with.
There are items pulled from time to time.........sometimes the gooberment decides it wants to keep it's toys.
As far as security goes it varys from base to base......unmanned sites are prob the worst as far as stuff "walking" away.
Ya pays your money and takes your chances.
I bought them for two very good reasons........they were for sale and I didn't have any.
They make great overhead racks for deuces with a little modification.

Me and Tony made it back to his LZ with the M35A3 around 4pm......I drove all the way and was sweating like a hooker in church.
See my post under Conversations.
I will be at the rally around noon-ish since I want to miss the morning goat f**k traffic in Hotlanta.
Me and Mike had a stratagy...

Those suckers are surprisingly fast out of the hole.
I would start off in LOW range, third gear and launch at about 1800 RPM.
My buddy would yank it up in HIGH while I shifted back to 4th gear (HR)...
Tony....that is where I bought a lot of stuff last year.
My membership has expired.
I got the chicken directly from the processing plant and ended up buying way too much...we gave several cases to Durhamtown to keep them from going to waste.
Since Mike has his M109 outfitted as the ration...
When you are running a diesel "hot" (fuel turned way up) you have to back off the throttle when you are in a hard pull....especially when you are loaded.....you will literally melt the engine down if you don't.
That is why a pyro and boost gauge are essential for a warmed up engine.

I am going to look at a deuce next week that (according to the owner) is only good for parts......he said it has been sitting for a long time.
It is a winch truck so if I part it out I'll give you first shot at it.
So you have led another poor soul down the road to MV addiction.
You Sir are a pusher.....a Green Iron Pimp.....an enabler.....carry on.[thumbzup][thumbzup]
It's all over but the buying now for stevegr.
I have had one in an independent film (no money but got screen credit as "Deuce Wrangler" and "Military Vehicle Stunt Driver").
I am registered with the Alabama Film Commission as a "Military Vehicle Propmaster".
I go pick up stuff for folks at GL locations near me.
I hauled several loads...
Can't speak for GA but in AL all utilty trailers have to be tagged.
If it is a single axle trailer you do not have to have a title...just a bill of sale or proof that it was home built. If home built you have to stamp a serial number into the frame.
