    Are all good trucks gone?

    I don’t know much about all the different models and all that. I never looked at the ECVs trucks because they always cost so much more and I thought the extended nose looked ridiculous There’s one 1165a1 up next week that is a 31600 vin but I’m not sure the pluses and minuses to them v the...

    Lots of 1097R1s. How’s an R1 different than the A2s??

    Are all good trucks gone?

    Ok, I have checked the auctions sparingly over the years and I thought I was dreaming. Why are trucks like that going so “cheap” now when a few months ago it seemed like 40-50k. a non running 1151 didn’t even sell at 2500. I’ve been watching and wanting to buy something but I didn’t count on...

    Duramax 6.6 and Allison Transmission Swap

    I assume the duramax would be quieter than the Cummins right?

    Duramax 6.6 and Allison Transmission Swap

    I’m a total novice but my understanding was that a company like ca conversions has figured out the Allison stand alone issue and imyou could order a reman unit straight from them.

    4k for a donor truck seems really cheap

    Duramax 6.6 and Allison Transmission Swap

    What are the companies doing these swaps? I can admit it would be way over my head. I’d feel more comfortable trying a 12v Cummins but even that I am not qualified to do.

    I went for a ride in a 998 the other day, with soft top and no doors. I didn’t find it very loud

    But I don’t want a keep I want a humvee! (Or Hummer)

    Companies that rebuild these.

    I don’t mind doing the work. I built my own house and get dirty every day. If it were just me I’d buy one with the rod hall suspension and fix it myself. but I have to be realistic. I have no time to fix this up and no shop to do it in anymore. If I ever hope to use this thing it’ll need...

    Companies that rebuild these.

    Anyone have a list of companies that rebuid and sell humvees? i know if west Kentucky surplus, Midwest military equipment plan b black dog customs custom combat trucks used to do them but I think their owner passed away and their website is down. Are there any others?

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    Where'd you get it?! What are your plans for it? I checked out your website and black dog customs. They do nice work but, I'm not trying to spend 50k on this. 15k plus for one from eastern surplus seems cheap compared to current auction and eBay prices. No buyers premium or title trouble...

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    Dang, you got them for 4k?! Wanna sell one??? Ha! I'm not trying to restore these to correct military condition, just looking for a good deal on a 4 speed truck. So I could get a replacement B pillar and aftermarket handles top and that's cool with me. Was wondering what shape these came in.
