Man that is one heck of a truck for $733. Any major problems you found with it yet?

Seems like way too much money. Does not seem fair to the guy/gal that bid $3000 thinking none could go for less. But if you need an engine what are you going to do.

sometimes on older vehicles, the bayonet style gas caps are interchangeable with the radiator caps on a temporary basis. not really pressure rated but depending on the situation your in it might be good to know. modern vehicles not so much.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Great site and lots of knowledge and resources here! Thank you for your service as well!

Any thoughts on a rough number you paid, plus or minus a few hundred dollars say?? Some of us have no feel at all for the $$ value or reasonable market conditions.

Dale, I appreciate your question even though I don't have an LMTV. Would like to, but none yet. I appreciate the thoroughness of your documentation for each step you went through on this project. Keep up the good work and I look forward to following your future projects.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Nice recovery. It looks like the cab doors are lightly armored or have some sort of extension on them? Also curious about the box in the bed? Electrical shelter?

OOps--never mind about the fire service comment. Oldsheimer kicking in here.

Obviously a somewhat rare truck. Cool that you could save it. I see some sort of emblem on the drivers door. Forest Service Fire ? Perhaps it was converted to some sort of fire tanker in its life. Let us know how your search for info progresses. Thanks for posting up the photos.

Looks pretty dang good. Even with out a tear down for paint, I bet he did a lot of masking. The prep work/ clean up is what seems to take the most time for me.

I will be doing some tranny/transfer work and in the process changing the oils. I have been following the "oil" discussion and can relate to your hard won knowledge on oil weights. Hope the syncros and gears have survived the somewhat brief immersion in 30 weight. I presume you are going to...
