Hey Kenny, Tom said there is a $500 premium for an A1 which among other things gets you the 205. Yah, the 208 is bulletproof as well. His 2008's are really in the same price range, so the decision is not really price based. I'll have enough money from the sale of the Bronco's to buy the truck...

Hi guys, K10A, thanks for the heads-ups, i do appreciate it. Mike is correct, I spoke with Tom (Alfa Heaven) today about this truck for about 45 minuntes and had a very detailed technical discusion about it. The truck is a true M1028A1 and does have a Dana 60 up front. I think the photos just...

Hi Clinto, I'll bet that dually ends up alot higher when it closes, it is a beautiful truck. Alfa does have some nice 880's as well, I was considering buying the red M880 but I'm leaning toward the M1028A1. Have you seen the red M880, it's very nice. I had a 1970 Dodge D200 Camper Special in...

The wife is OK with it. I'm getting rid of 2 Broncos that we don't need and getting 1 truck that we do. The truck on eBay must be an after-military dually install. I thought the dually's were an M1028A3. I really don't want a dually, so far the price is alot nicer though.

Hi guys, I need a pickup for my little surplus business. I'm putting to many miles on our F350 which is really used to pull our 5th wheel trailer. I'm selling my 2 95 EB Broncos to buy it. I'm looking at M1008, M1028 & M1028A1. I like the trucks at Alfa Heaven alot and Tom seems to be an honest...

Kurtb, I did have titles, I bought the M275A2 up in Heber AZ from a private seller, he had a clear title. I bought the M35A2 from Idaho Motor Pool, he sent me a clear title. He and I had bid on the same truck at Port Hueneme. He won and I ended up buying it from him. BTW, I had Jack there in...

Well ok, paint for the deuce or gen set??? :? Actually, I'm going to paint the deuce 4 color MERDC, Desert. The Gen set has very good paint. Although it would look good in the MERDC as well!! 45% Sand 45% Field Drab 5% Black 5% Earth Yellow My M128A2C is 4 color MERDC now. I'll be...

Hey Devin, I did a little write up on Gen in another post today. I've had these storage spaces for years, the pevious owner and builder of the facility is a good buddy. New owners have kept my rate low as I have been there since it opened 8 years ago. My little business pays for the two spaces...

Hmm, how much of a problem is wetstacking? What should I look for as problem signs? Does it happen over long term use or can it happen quickly? Is there any way to minimize the possibility of it happening other than loading? Oh well, I'll just have to power the neighborhood or a small town...

Hey Kenny, The tires for the M35 are in it's bed. 11x20's like the M275. I'm going to try to get it done in the next 3 weeks or so. The tires on the M200 are in great shape, no reason to change them. I think the fenders are a little tight for bigger tires anyway. I like that winch on the...

Hi, Wanted to post a couple pictures I took of the deuces today. Take care,

Hi Emmado22, The MEP-006A is a utility rated generator and thus has a manual throttle. In order for the Gen to make 60hz it needs to run at about 1700 rpm. Since there's no tach I'm just guessing based on sound having been around heavy equipment all my life. It makes 50hz at around 1400...

A couple more.

A couple more shots and larger versions of the small ones.

Hi everyone, After a long wait on the EUC, I fianlly went to French Camp (Sharpe Army Depot) to get my MEP-006a. Used the F350 for the tow home. Weighs in @ about 7000 lbs. Flipped the lunete and we were on the road. Tires needed a little air. On the way home Theresa and I stayed in Castaic...

Hi Gatewaysyop, I'm here at least once a day, just been veeeery busy! I just registered my M35A2 yesterday with the MVD, no problem. Both my M275A2 and my M35A2 are registered as Historic Commercial vehicles. The MVD zeros out the weight when registering and as such I don't need a CDL to drive...

Hey Kenny, Yes, love the little tractor, engine is low on power, will bee looking at that in the next couple weeks. Yes, went with a matched set of new Titan 373's, 11.00x20. Matches the trailer, at least size wise. Trailer has 10 hole buds, tractor - 6 hole buds Hey Bjorn, I drove the 10, up...

Hey Brent, Thanks, I love the color too, MERDC - 45% Sand, 45% Earth Yellow, 5% OD, 5% Black. Now I REALLY DO need some decent Earth Yellow. Yes tips are good, when can we talk?

Hey Jim, Thanks for the compliment on the trailer, Some rusted panels to fix on both sides, I've already done some grinding and painting on the lower parts, like everything else, needs more work! Right now it's going to be US Military, I've got about 4000 items left to sort. Lot's of Gore-Tex...

It's been awhile since I updated. The M275A2 has new tires, new/take-off hard top, new brakes (master and wheel cylinders), new axle seals, IP is now timed properly (person I bought it from had it 180 degrees off, barely ran, he thought the engine was blown, may still have a week cyl.)...
