There are guys on this list who THRIVE on the 15 minute rule and they are smiling reading this thread. They want to outlast you and cause as much frustration on your part as possible in the hopes that you give up and walk away. I don't like it either, but I deal with it if I want a particular...

I NEVER believe the odometer on ANY truck from the mid-80s showing less than 25K miles. On a rare occasion, the miles are correct and lower than that, but often the odometer has turned over at least once. 2200 miles on a 25 year old truck? Hard to believe. I would need to see pics of things...

KsM715...thank you. Otherwise, you might turn on other predators. To ANYONE who thinks that all GL auctions are public knowledge and therefore publicly known, I say you have no idea what you are talking about. I, myself, follow GL more religiously than most and I miss things. That's the name...

HNDRSONJ, I agree. I doubt it will happen because of the rare bed. I especially hope it won't happen because of the same rare bed. Cutting a deuce that is a fairly common vehicle is one thing; cutting up a rare bed is another.

Call Memphis Equipment and ante up for two new metal wiper motors...or buy an electric wiper motor kit.

Great job, Jason! I can't wait until you have the two wreckers sitting side by side!

That is what I call a "save."

Does it have the direct drive or overdrive transmission? If it has the latter, take out the overdrive transmission and install a direct drive transmission. You will lose some top speed (max speed will be about 46 MPH). On one hand, it sucks being able to ONLY drive at 46 MPH (now thinking...

GE, can you PM me a price? I like the A/C installation...really nice!

I thought his name was Jude Meehan...perhaps, George is his brother or that is his legal name.

Will they help load it? If not, you will need a Landoll or a step-deck, preferably a Landoll so the trucker can just winch the truck onto the trailer. Since you are only 66 miles away, you should be able to get the truck delivered for a few hundred bucks. Do a GOOGLE search for truck towing...

I have a friend who is in the Army Reserves and is also a SS member (he does not get online often). Anyway, he said that his unit has many CUCVs that they are still using. They have not received any word to turn them in and they are the main truck that they use on a daily basis.

Maybe, as part of the bail out of the auto industry, our politicians are working with the big three auto manufacturers on this so we are forced to buy new trucks.

You guys in VA get FL titles? In MD, we get the SF97 filled out to GL and a FL dealer transfer form. Fortunately, it works...so far!

It sounds like you have an M1028.

I believe the heaters themselves were the same. However, some of the parts associated with the installation were different. I have a fuel burning heater that was intended for a deuce installed in my M925A2. It was the same heater and most of the kit was the same EXCEPT for the wiring harness...

As long as its not my money :wink:, I vote for the purchase of a civilian 20 ton tag along low boy. The 20 tonners have air brakes. They are not cheap, though. You can get a new one in the $15K range.

Use any good name brand 15W40 oil. I have used Rotella, Mobil Delvac, Pennzoil, Valvoline, and others. I buy what's on sale as long as it is a good name brand. If all else is equal, I like Rotella, Delvac and Pennzoil in that order.

Jason, it is looking good!

With regard to the trucks that go for $1000-1500, do the math. With trucking rates at $2/mile (higher than when I got my truck home almost nine years ago), and I bet the shipping rates have also gone up, I bet I would be looking at $7500 to get a truck home (HI to MD). Do the math for your own...
