Typical "Tom Bauer" work...top notch. It looks great, Tom. Very impressive...

Damon, I recommend that you use 686A tan CARC. That would look sharp (and current)! Do you want your truck to look good...or good and accurate? If it is the latter, CARC 383 green or 686A tan are your only choices. If you are not striving for 100% accuracy, then the choice of a color is a...

The cool thing about Chris' truck is...he has already done all of the work. All that truck needs is a little cosmetics. She sure is a sweet runner! I'll spread the word, too, Chris.

If you have either item, or can suggest a place where I can find this stuff, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

Bjorn: Why not buy an M149A2 water trailer? I used to have one for sale, but a fellow SteelSoldiers member bought it.

I've got several Mermite cans that are in really nice shape that I got from N3UKA (thanks, Dave!)...and I can attest to the fact that they make great beer coolers. My only complaint about them...they can't hold enough beer...that's why I got several. I had one that was sitting out on my deck...

Mike: $2500-3500 for a good runner that needs cosmetics sounds reasonable. I suppose prices go up, especially for collector vehicles that become more rare. I just can't believe a mule will bring as much money as it does. People willingly pay $5-6K (or more) for a mule, but I bet you'll be...

Hey MADDAWG: What do you mean by "now or never with prices going through the roof." Prices are ALREADY through the roof. How much higher could they go? $6K? $7K? $10K? Would someone really pay that much for a mule (...before you say it, I know that Leonard Grove got $6500 for fully...

Sorry...attached the same pic twice. I'll try again.

Condition is another factor that will directly affect pricing. I paid $6,000 for an M109A3 (pics attached). It was very nice (rust free, airshift, very good tires, new cab top, fresh CARC paint). I will also add that I bought this from a dealer, not a private seller. I can't say one is...

DESERT DEUCE: I did not mean my message to come across so strongly. I meant it as a friendly suggestion to consider your alternatives. I think you made the right choice. I've driven a truck home from an auction on two occasions...about 400 miles each time (both from SC to MD). I did have...

I've picked them up with deuces and also with 1-ton pickups. Both pull them without a problem, although they do point down a bit with the pickups.

My reco...clean it up as best you can...give it a quickie paint job as MASSM35A2 said...and drive it as is. You'll go broke trying to fix everything...especially since you can get a clean M1028 retail for about $6K.

The purpose of that mat is to rust the floor out. :wink:

You are considering driving a truck that you just won at an auction 1800 miles?!?! Sheer madness... Get a trucker to haul it. If something goes wrong, you will have wished you paid to have it hauled. That trip will stress that truck unbelievably. Is it worth it? The cost of hauling should...

A word on pictures to those that don't already know this...they ALWAYS lie. Assume the truck looks no where near as good as the pictures and you will be a happier person. I can say that I have NEVER seen a truck that looked as good in person as I was expecting based upon what I saw in the...

This is of no help to you, BEETLE, but it is a lesson to everyone else who wants to bid based only upon GL's descriptions. I would strongly encourage anyone who wants a truck to take the time to inspect...and learn something BEFORE you inspect...and I mean more than you've heard on this list...

Bjorn: Thanks...let me know!

I'd say it looks like an M813/M813A1...no air cleaner on the passenger side fender and the exhaust stack looks like an M809 series truck.

Any one have a new muffler for an M939 series truck? Please let me know. Thanks!
