Should look like this DDS 235 wrecker in slow truck race Reason for edit: Can somebody explain me how the @#$##@ embed a youtube video? I keep trying but it does not work.

From the picture almost too good condition to need a complete standard paint job at all. Custom wishes, however, is always a good reason to repaint. ;)

Bump

I ran into some nice material on the Dutch DAF MVs including armored material. So where to post. The non-US MV forum has seven sub-fora: - four on German stuff, - one on Volvo, - one on everything east-block - one on Tatra. I am sorry (and stubborn) but as Dutchman I am not going to post...

:ditto::ditto: Get one of the M50's or M800s. They are nice entry models to start with, including power steering etc.

Don't. I like the pink avatar. It might even stop some neighbors from complaining about that horrible big green thing on your driveway. You might even start a trend! There is a famous movie precedent in Operation Petticoat. It was so successful that it was followed up by a TV serial two...

Another pic of a trailer for these beasts. You can recognize the tractor in front. Liberated the pic from internet, was mentioned as a 1981 US Air Force MX Missile Transport Truck.

:ditto: in spades. I would be scared sh***less sitting next to that guy doing his tricks. :cookoo: , like the Muppet's Swedish Cook. Big, slow, and green is more my thing. Or something like this tractor you have to start with gunpowder: tractor Besides, that is not a standard Volvo 240 engine...

Bump, posts are going too quick here:jumpin:

Fair 'nough, all we can ask for. Thanks

Probably both of them since the price was around $ 10K an hour before closing and they continued raising the price. The dangerous trap is that a lot of inexperienced people still believe that since it is a GL surplus, even with an auction everything must be cheap no matter what you pay. That...

maybe make the two last sentences into one with .... in between. Would make it a bit less high at least

It is probably the rationale behind it, but keeping a 30-year old standard truck out of enemy hands by blocking its sale in the USA seems a bit over-done. They would need to export hundreds of them to make an impact, which would get the attention from the authorities real quick. Besides, its...

Don't forget "demil" hearts of MV enthusiasts destroyed by this senseless waste

Well, for whatever reason, two people must have wanted that specific truck very much to keep outbidding each other.. Yesterday's GL results before 1972 Jeep Corporation M817, not started, unknown, $ 2,950, French Camp, CA 1972 AM General M817 non-running for $ 11,700 :shock: :confused...

Already imagined that this is not GLs doing. Then again, who knows. The USofA also makes more money on a separate non-scrap sales, but those putting the demil status on don't care about that clearly (it's not going into their pocket). So any idea what reason they give for it? Now would be a good...

Title says it all. The prices for different lots (also 817s) were a lot less. Now I just learned on internet that M817s are for sale for even much higher prices. But those are checked and repaired-restored trucks in good condition, not unknowns from GL. According the Gl description: Batteries...

Probably there is a thread about this already. Whatever, can somebody explain this naive European why the US govenrnement consider well over 100 surplus trucks as scrap and demands they be destroyed before removing? Is this a hidden form of demill actions to prevent the trucks from falling into...

OK small problem here. Is it possible to remove the dump bed from an M51A2 without a functional hydraulic pump? Background: we had the dump bed including subframe and hydraylics removed for working on the truck, then put it back for transport. The idea was that once on its final location, we...

Daon't know but it might be developed for the Parish Dakar rallies in which Tatra run also. Started typing before the end of the video, and then saw that it indeed is from Paris-Dakar. I recognized those boards from once driving in the Sahara. We had longer ones that were strapped to the roof...
