I bought this 84 1009 from federal surplus on the GSA sight unseen looked pretty nice in the only pic they posted.

Looks like they are finding new ways to damage equipment this engine has nine hours on it what a shame funny how it always happens to a newer engine as opposed to a old worn out one.. Looks like it was being shoved up onto a trailer for transport or the front end was being picked up to move it...

Against my better judgement I bought a 1009 out of pineville today looks like a nice truck but if someone here lives close I will make it worth their while to get it off the base for me after the EUC clears.I bought three of them from there a few years ago and thet were pretty cobbled together...
