I am guessing the NHC250 does not weigh 3,200 pounds as specified above, although I am not sure. Perhaps, the poster above is correct. The engine can for a 6.2 liter motor is over 600 pounds empty. The engine can for an NHC250 would have to weigh 1,000 pounds or so. That would mean there is...

It really depends upon the outcome you expect. Do you want a show quality finish? If so, then metal is really the only option. Do you want it to look motorpool? Fiberglass/bondo and pop-riveted patches (as stated by ACEHIGH) is acceptable. I have seen some really shoddy military rust...

Lane, I would think they would let you back out. They probably ought to give you the truck in the pictures, but the guy who bid on the other truck will demand that one because it is probably nicer. I think your only recourse is to get a refund. This one goes down as "GL Terrible Business...

I saw this thread and thought of offering my M35A3 for sale and then got cold feet because I do not want to lose my a$$ on it. I have over $11K in it. However, a truck-related repair bill necessitates my selling this truck. Here are the details: *$8,100 (price) *$810 (10% bidder's fee)...

Or, "I drove my truck home 400 miles. How do I check the brake fluid?" That was a real post!!! I am not kidding.

One of the most frequently overlooked expenses to buying a truck is shipping. Most guys never factor that in. If they did, they probably would not even bid on the truck that they won. The reason...most guys don't figure that is a real cost to buying a truck and, if they factored in, their...

I have mentioned this previously in other threads and many guys have basically told me to mind my own business...that it is none of my business to comment on another guy driving without tags and/or insurance. I know that is BS and most of the posters on this thread know that is BS. I agree...

I believe Bjorn is correct. But other factors could be at play here, too. Even the deuces that have been rebuilt were mostly rebuilt 15+ years ago. Which truck was rebuilt and when? As with any motor vehicle, they were subjected to varying use, abuse and maintenance (or lack thereof). I...

I have only ever seen one show up on GL. It came up in NC and consisted of three axles, a frame and the stripped cab...that is it. I also have seen one on eBay that had been burned. The top of the motor was charred, the cab was burned and the hood was missing. I have no details about who got...

Dave's prices are reasonable for what you get. People take for granted that the trucks coming out of GL are perfect. They are not. They almost always need something, although usually it is something small. However, in other cases, it is something big. I've gotten trucks that needed...

They are really cracking down on who they sell to. I see CARC getting harder and harder to come by...and possibly drying up altogther. They have caught on that the hobbyist is buying their paint.

I agree with WM...if you have GL-related problems, contact them first. If they don't give you any satisfaction, you've come to the right place to complain about their business practices.

Here is how it (potentially) impacts me. If someone gets busted driving a military vehicle without tags, he/she may draw unnecessary attention to the hobby. There have been movements in the past to stop the sale of surplus vehicles to the public. All we need is one nervous politician who...

Would anyone drive a Cadillac hundreds of miles without tags because they could not get any issued? I am going to bet the answer is no from most people. Why not? Because that vehicle would stick out, especially without plates. So, how is it different in a military vehicle? Because the driver...

There are definitely VIN #s on the side of the frame by the front left wheel. My M817 had the paint over the number scraped off revealing the #. I am not sure why they scraped the paint off, but I suspect it had something to do with shipping the truck back from Iraq...or so I was told by...

I really am not a bobbed truck type guy, but ATANKERSDAD has it right...bob the damn truck and continue to park it in the driveway. Heck, park it on the street in front of his house if you can.

The last nice one at Ft. Drum brought over $8K plus bidder's fee and tax. Condition and location mean everything.

An easy Internet search will usually have the info you are after. I just GOOGLED the following search term: "military model numbers m series 5 ton." I came up with this site (I have not reviewed the entire site, but it looked decent): List of U.S. military vehicles by model number -...

Man, if you just bought it, I suggest contacting the seller. If you are regularly experiencing the problem, chances are it was happening before you got it. If you don't get any satisfaction there, contact John Winslow (252-883-2509)...he will have a transmission for you. The VIN # is located...

If you have bows that are extended height, sell them and buy the right bows. Those bows are fairly rare.
