    Guam

    I don;t have any experience from Guam, but I have gotten a truck out of Hawaii and I can say it was not easy. I am using the phrase "not easy" to mean expensive! The truck I got cost me $4111 and I spent over $6000 getting it home to MD. I have spoken to a company about getting a truck from...

    M925A2s in Norfolk

    I was just curious if anyone on this list got one of the M925A2s that were on GL recently. They looked fairly nice in the pictures, but I know from someone who inspected that they each had their own issues (some larger than others!). I got one of them.

    Tires

    Westech, can you get the Michelin XL 1100 X 20 tires? If so, please PM me with a price and quantity availability. Thanks!

    14.00 x 20 singles on a wrecker?

    As Kenny said, the M936A1/A2 had single 1400s on it. I had an M936A2 that weighed over 37,000 pounds with the complete wrecker tool kit. No problems with the tires running at 60 mph down the highway. I will say, however, it is a little disconcerting that the speed rating on those tires is...

    Best rust solutions? Rustoleum, spray converter + paint?

    RE: Re: RE: Best rust solutions? Rustoleum, spray converter I like the POR15, too. I had a few spots of surface rust on one of my M105A2s. I scraped the metal, painted the POR15 over it, and, then, spray canned over that. In over three years, I have not even had a small flake of rust show...

    Put on my top!

    With regard to it being the original bed, I am almost positive it is not. The mounting hardware was all recent and, as you noted, the paint on the bed does not match the cab of the truck. Great looking truck, Eddie!

    Put on my top!

    Eddie, I think it looks great. I take it the top is just as I said it would be. :D The rear end curtain gets mounted just as the front did. Man, its nice to have new hardware to work with.

    Data Plate spelled wrong!!??

    GAMAGOAT1, If she could change 5 ton tires, I'm not sure I'd want her! That would be quite the burly "wench." I actually had an M35A2 VIN data plate that said it was for an AM35A2. I don't have the plate any longer unfortunately. Bruce

    Lots of Military Vehicles on GSA site in MO - ends Jan 15th

    I was actually the one that said (and I am guessing you remember that since we know each other) "If you bid more than me, you will get it," but you are quoting me out of context. I had targeted that M936A1, too, as I saw you did. You posted something to SS like...(I have not gone back to quote...

    M1009 Floor Mat

    I strive to keep my trucks mil-spec. I own three Blazers currently, and have owned a couple previously. All of the trucks that I've owned with floor mats had floor rust...some all the way through. Personally, while I prefer the look of the mats over the bare floor, I would never put one back...

    Let me set the scenario to make this even more clear. You have ID'ed a truck that you have to have. Let's say it is a nice M35A2 on GSA near your home. Your wife has set a spending limit (or perhaps you are on a budget). Just ask yourself this question: would you notify the list about this...

    Mike, I honestly meant no offense. My only point was that by alerting everyone, you may run the risk of running prices up. I am not an old timer in this (I've only been in the hobby since 1999), but I have seen prices soar on GSA. Trucks used to be reasonable on GSA. Now, they go crazy. I...

    I am not bidding either, but it shocks me why people feel the need to tell the world about trucks that are coming up. The original post states that this info is being posted because he is not planning to bid. I take that to mean that he would not have posted this info if he was targeting these...

    M 911's at Chambersburg on sale

    I've also seen fluids drained from vehicles at Letterkenny that were awaiting a rebuild (MA NG trucks), but were cut loose. These were all on one sale. Every one of them was an M35A2...and the one guy I know that got one found metal shards in the oil pan. I am not trying to discourage anyone...

    NHC 250 Cummins Oil Pump

    Contact John Winslow (252-883-2509). He's got at least two low mileage (but stuck) NHC250 motors that I know of. You could probably get a take-out fairly cheaply. He might even have an NOS oil pump for all I know. That's who I'd check with first.

    M543A2 front PTO

    Those M809 series winch drive shafts are like hen's teeth. You can't find them when you need them. I paid a pretty penny for the one I needed for my old USMC M817 converted to w/w.

    New to MV, Steel Soldiers and M35A2

    Nice truck...welcome aboard! How does it do in the sand with those civvy front tires? If you are interested in NDT's for the fronts, contact John Winslow (252-883-2509). He's got bunches of them, including new tires.

    Water chiller for M149A2

    Scrounger, that could be it. The only pictures I've seen of one were on GL and that was a year ago. I am not very familiar with them. Is this one yours? If so, are you selling it?
