Woody came and did a little trading with me today and left with a load and a half. I hope he makes it home ok. He left me with a little present in exchange. Derek Taylor

The military stuff is a sideline for me, sort of a fun hobby I can claim as business. My "real" business deals in a specialized lightweight concrete building material. In that business, I have acquired a good number of small, manually propelled mini-cranes. I have discontinued this model and...

I will be going to Forest Park in the morning. I have two Deuces there, but I could not find anyone to go with me to drive one back. I will tow one on my trailer. I would like to get them both off base while I am there. It would be nice if I could find a member close by I could drop one off...

Wow, the expando at Redstone went for $4500! I take it that someone had previewed it and that it had some cool stuff in it. I would like to know who was bidding on that because I have one that has way more stuff in it than that one ever thought about having and I am willing to sell any of it...

I just bought two Deuces down in Warner Robbins. One of them has a punctured radiator, so I know it won't run, but the other looks rpetty good and I am hoping it can be driven home. It was event #5430 and lot #6012. If anyone is by there this week and can look at it for me and let me know the...

Can anyone help with getting a Deuce from Chattanooga, TN to Lansing, MI? Derek Taylor

I just bought an expando van and it has an I-beam, poles, top bracket, and hoist roller assembly in it. Wreckerman tells me it can be erected at the back of the truck to lift things up into it to be worked on. Does anyone have a picture of an erected hoist assembly for an expando box van...

I just paid for event # 5014 today, a day late actually, but they let me slide. I had already charged it to my AMEX, but it was declined and they didn't bother to notify me, so I thought it was all taken care of. I just happened to look at my invoice status and find out. Anyway, I sent them a...

I have four semi-trailers at Fort Campbell and would like to know if there is anyone local that could help me move them offbase and store them for a few days or weeks until we can get up there on Friday or the weekend to get them. I can meet you there to assist with loading. I have to come...

Is there a member near Fort Meade, MD who has a tractor and can help get a semi-trailer van offbase? I am helping out another member who is currently in Iraq to get some equipment. We would need it removed from the base and stored for several months until he gets back and can come and get it...

I have a question about exporting. I know when I buy from GL I agree to a non-export agreement. I know there is probably some additional paperwork I could do to change that, but I don't feel like the hassle. I have never even filed for a SF-97. I just bought four trucks from GSA recently...

I just got around to checking out my wrecker I've had for nearly a year now. Good news is after some fluid and bleeding the brakes worked great. I even drove it to my new shop I am moving to. Good thing too, because I don't have a trailer big enough to haul it. Really good news is the...

My father in law said he passed around a hundred trucks on the interstate yesterday heading south. He said there were tons of Deuce trucks, 5 tons, tankers, dozers, generators... He figured they were taking them Haiti. I am very happy to help them, but am afraid that this will put a serious...

I bought four Deuces from GSA and they are located in Pineville, KY, just north of Knoxville, TN. It's been a week already and I haven't even made my first trip up there yet. I have never bought from GSA before, so I don't know how flexible they will be about getting them out of there. They...

Who won the fire truck down near Warner Robbins from GSA last night? I wanted it bad, but had to coach a hockey game and missed out on it. I know, I should've bid higher, but I couldn't really. I was bidding on 9 other trucks too and couldn't afford to put too much in the fire truck in...

I just got cleared for a M105 trailer out of Camp Shelby, MS. I was bidding on two to make it worth the trip, but then one of them went crazy high, but I got stuck with the other at minimum bid. It is about a 10 hour trip one way for me. Is there anyone nearby or going there soon that could...

Are there any members near Rock Island Arsenal who can pick up a couple of M105 trailers in the near future and store them until I can find a way to get them home to GA? If anyone will be travelling from up there to down this way, let me know too. Derek Taylor

I have found a decent deal on a LWB truck and am thinking about buying it, but I am too far away and don't have time to deal with it right now, but I don't want to let it slip away. It is located near Cincinnati, OH. Is there someone near there who could go and pick it up and take it home...

I just got in a 1962 Studebaker-Packard today and it has a rather unusual dash in it. It looks to be original. I wonder if this is the gauge cluster it came with as a gas burner and maybe they added the tach under the dash when they converted it to Multifuel? The on/off power switch is a...

I just picked up a 1957 Reo shop van today at Forest Park, GA and it has something I have never seen before on the steering column. Unfortunately the nameplate has been painted over and I can't read what it says. As I was chaining her down :oops: I ran across something else up under her rear...
