As a guide, figure $2.50/mile. I have had trucks hauled recently for that...including contracting with a trucker this past week. My recommendation...find a truck closer to you. You are going to spend at least the $1800 you quoted to get the truck home...plus what you paid. You very well...

Justin, you found an M113?:drool:

When I first got into the hobby, you couldn't give me a CUCV. I was not impressed by them given that they are really civilian vehicles with some military add-ons. After a few years, I decided to purchase a Blazer. After that, my eyes were open. I love the CUCVs because, while not true...

A bunch of NOS deuce transmissions came out a few years back. Check with John Winslow (252-883-2509) in Halifax, NC. He may have some. I bought a few NOS 5 ton transmissions from John over the past several years.

No offense intended, but you are blaming the transmission shop and you only now re-read the TM to figure out what was what. When I once had a head gasket replaced on a deuce (when I first got into the hobby and knew nothing), I purchase the engine overhaul TM and provided it to the shop doing...

So, this is how OD topic threads tie into one another. Interesting!:beer:

:)

ODdave, what is the story with the avatar? That is really funny!

Sounds like you may need to tear that sucker apart again.

Reminds me of a Homer Simpson quote...and I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember it exactly...but he said "I had two children (at that time) and a job and somehow I still managed to fit in eight hours of TV." (insert SteelSoldiers for TV). :beer:

I wanted to share with the list a very positive experience I had dealing with Justin. I bought an LWS for an M939 from him. I thought Justin said the kit was complete...something he took off a truck. Anyway, the kit was missing some parts that were necessary for the install. After talking...

First move I make once I get a CUCV home is to swap the glow plugs with new, non-swelling ones. I don't care if the ones I'm pulling work or not.

Makes sense. I actually prefer the 1400s, too. I was just looking at positives thinking there was a reason the OP wanted to swap 'em out.

For a second, forget the impressive size of the 1400s and think "more power" because that is exactly what you'll get with the smaller tires.

Neil, thanks for the info. This is a huge relief!

I am bringing the new style food containers (replacement for the Mermite). New (with inserts still wrapped in plastic and instructions): $65 each. Used (with inserts): $45 each. Sold out of these last year. Also, I am bringing one of the green plastic Cambro field coolers (used, excellent shape)...

I suggest tags and insurance if you are driving it home. I don't think anyone suggested that yet. Good luck with the recovery!

I think they sometimes choose items for the HOT LOTS just to drum up more bidders and thereby increasing the closing price. I have seen this plenty of times where, say, there are two M817s at once site. One looks better and the descriptions says RUNS. The one that looks worse and is marked as...

...also, back up lights, side markers and rear marker lights, electric wiper motor upgrade, three point seat belts, Allison auto tranny. Significant improvements in my opinion, but they cost 2x as much.
