I have found auction listings with NSNs that DID NOT match the item. I have also found NSNs that are just plain wrong. Most times they match the item, but not always. Be careful.
Beautiful animal, 91W350! My family has had German Shepherds for the last 40 years and I could not even think of another dog to own...no offense to anyone else...but GSD's are incredible. As I said, I own two and will eventually get another.
91W350: Beautiful GSD! I have two myself, and I want to get another shortly. If not for the fact that my older male is very territorial, I would already have a second male! Also, nice looking truck...but a better looking dog! No offense intended!
MKCOEN: I would tell David Doyle this to his face...and he is a GOOD friend of mine...those prices are WRONG! Go find ANY HEMTT in ANY condition for $3K and I might buy it! The axles and cab are worth that, let alone any motor or transmission or other good body parts.
STALWART, you know when you will sell it? :wink: When I sell my M983 tractor that has a zero mile motor and will have a rebuilt tranny in it, and you can use that truck to haul your Stalwart around! Seriously though, I am not sure I will sell my HEMTT any time soon. I say that, but I know I...
I baby my trucks because I want to keep them, not see what they can do. For that reason, I max out at 70 mph in an M1009 and 60 mph in an M1008/M1028 (although 65 and 55 respectively are about what I run them). They will definitely go faster.
You know why many people want CUCVs? Because they are military and they can be driven daily. At least that is what drew me to them. When I first got into the hobby, I had a certain dislike for CUCVs because, really, they are nothing more than civilian vehicles painted in military colors (with...
What kind of HEMTT are you after? That might affect the price. I have seen serious projects go as cheaply as $20K and cherry trucks go upwards of $100K. I know where a wrecker is right now...but the guy wants a rediculous $250K!!! Plan on spending $50K or more for a running and driving...
Bjorn, I hate to say it, but that little in-line filter is actually correct! I thought the same thing when I got my first A2. I figured someone must have installed an additional filter for some reason, but it is correct. On the positive side, they are easy to replace and they are inexpensive...
Better to get a truck with 52K miles on it rather than one with 5,200 miles. I can almost guarantee that the truck with 5,200 miles has probably 105,200 miles on it. While the truck with 52K miles showing may have 152K miles on it, 52K miles in 20 years is plausible. There would have to be...
I am not sure what semi-gloss means with regards to 686A tan CARC, but I am positive that 686A tan CARC is flat paint...I mean VERY flat...no sheen whatsoever. While I was not in the military so I have no firsthand knowledge, I was told this was the correct color for Desert Storm. I second...
There are guys on this list who THRIVE on the 15 minute rule and they are smiling reading this thread. They want to outlast you and cause as much frustration on your part as possible in the hopes that you give up and walk away. I don't like it either, but I deal with it if I want a particular...
I NEVER believe the odometer on ANY truck from the mid-80s showing less than 25K miles. On a rare occasion, the miles are correct and lower than that, but often the odometer has turned over at least once. 2200 miles on a 25 year old truck? Hard to believe. I would need to see pics of things...
