    GP MTVR cab parts

    Thanks! Can you paint the stuff to order for extra $$$? I would think that green would sell better than black.

    Is GP now painting over the military vehicle markings?

    Years ago, I was told by GovLiquidation that they were supposed to obliterate all military markings on vehicles before they left the yard. Obviously, they didn't always do it...and it has been hit and miss since. I showed up to a GL site to pick up a trailer with a pristene M1028 that had "US...

    What jack stands do you use….. looking cheap….

    One more point...those four ton jack stands that are marked as such do not specify anywhere on them that the four tons corresponds to the rating of the pair. It was on the paperwork I received when I originally bought them. Making it even worse is that I only have one at this time. The other...

    What jack stands do you use….. looking cheap….

    I am glad you pointed out the mandate in 2015. I had no idea about that. I will add that I have a pair of heavy duty jack stands that I bought 25 years or so ago that were rated in pairs, too. I am unsure when they started that. My big point was that a person needs to consider that they...

    What jack stands do you use….. looking cheap….

    One other point...most jack stand ratings are for the pair. Keep that in mind.

    What jack stands do you use….. looking cheap….

    I use military 7 ton jack stands that are made for big trucks. I don't have them handy to tell you the brand. I feel that a 6 ton jack stand is sufficient, especially if you are only removing one wheel. If you want additional safety, leave the jack underneath the axle, too (or use both 6 ton...

    Heater-What's Missing From This Picture?

    I believe the first picture is of the driver's footwell. I believe there should be an HVAC grill in that hole.

    Wisconsin title paperwork help

    I don't know the laws in WI, but, from what I've experienced in multiple states, that only works if the seller is a car dealer and they can use a dealer transfer form to transfer ownership. Otherwise, as kblazer87 said, I think he will have to transfer the existing paperwork into his name and...

    Paint Color Markings and Camouflage for an M1101

    I am sure there is an official camo pattern for that trailer. Until you can find one, though, you might want to look on the Internet, particularly GovPlanet, for pictures to use as a template. There definitely have been camo M1101s/M1102s sold. Sorry I can't help more.

    Am I getting a good deal?

    Copy. It sounds like it is a 1999 truck that was rebuilt in 2009. By the way, thank you for your service.

    Frame Paint options

    Eastwood makes a black satin chassis paint. There may be other manufacturers that make flat chassis paint. I just did a quick search.

    Am I getting a good deal?

    I understand your interest in learning the correct year of manufacture. Are you trying to tag it as the correct year of manufacture? This may be difficult depending upon your state. Many state DMVs tend to want to keep it titled as it says on the existing title, and you may raise red flags if...

    Deuce Outer Windshield Frame

    I have some M939 series windshields that you can reference. They won't fit your truck, but the installation should be the same. I am in Damascus if you want to check them out. I used to buy NOS windshields from Adirondack Dodge (they sold M37 windshields, but they are the same as yours). I...
