Well, I was already thinking maybe I need to just wait for one locally, and now that you tell me the blazer is a better choice (I really like them better) I think I have outright decided to hold off on buying anything. All the M1009s are clear across the country, so I had decided to settle...

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

I just read something that said the M1028 is over a thousand pounds heavier than the M1008, despite the M1008 being rated as a 1.25 ton, and the M1028 only being a 3/4 ton. This surprised me and got me thinking. I have been thinking a 3/4 ton is what I want, better fuel millage, less weight...

The thing I like is the diesel engine, better fuel economy, and the possibility of bio diesel. Im still exploring options :)

That is an awesome rule! I just posted up that I am looking for someone else that is interested in buying something down there, that way I could bring both home, one of them is bound to make it, right? Im also sure that Im just worrying too much, and it will all be totally fine, and it will...

Well, I want to buy my first military truck from the Barstow California, and I will be driving it up to Ft Lewis, since I am concerned about a possible break down, I would feel more comfortable if I had the option to tow a broken truck home with the non broken one. I am 18 and dont have too...

Alright, two more question before I go to bed for the night. What do they usually go for at the end of the auction? When it says no keys, does that mean you dont have a key to start it, or it doesnt NEED a key? I can already picture myself driving one of these things back, while towing...

Alright, I am going to take the risk, I will just train my ass down, buy it sight un-seen, and if it brakes down, I will spend more money to have my grand-father come bail me out with a U-haul tow dolly, and a 1 Ton chevy that gets about 7 mpg...... Hell, I just need to buy TWO, and rent a...

$5000 is way over my price range.... the blazers that sold today, some of them had only one or two bids, so they went for under $500, which is why I like this idea so much..... Spending $5,000 does defeat the purpose.... Thanks for all your advise and help though, I need to find someone who is...

I have considered this, and maybe the blazer I REALLY want would even be available, but I am worried if I pass up on these cali trucks, then maybe nothing else will pop up locally for a long time....

Lol, there is that word adventure again.... My grandfather said the same thing.... So, I would end up spending $300 to inspect it... Then another $150 to come BACK down, and then ANOTHER $200 in gas to get it back.... Or just bid, pray it is ok, and then spend $150 to get to it, spend...

It says Even if it said that it runs and drives, I have bought used cars that "Ran" but i still dont think I would try to drive hundreds of miles in them.... Edit: The idea of going all the way down there to inspect it, I might spend more money than I risk loosing.... I just worry I am going...

Well, the only other important question is do you think it can make the trip? I have no idea how these cars are maintained by the US army....

Is there a way to get started on that process before I bid? It would be cool to get it sooner rather than later....

Oh, and I almost forgot, how long do I have from the completion of the auction, till I need to pick it up?

(I have summed it all up into three questions at the end of the page, that way you dont have to read the whole thing, if you dont want to) Hi all, Im new here, and I pray to God I wont violate any rules in this post, but I dont think so. To sum it up, I am considering buying a 3/4 Ton...
