I have a brand spanking new M809 series hood that I recently bought, but will not be using (selling the M818). Many of the hoods out there have that little dent in the middle where someone dropped it, the sheet metal flexed and it hit the engine lifting point. If anyone wants to replace their...

I would say that the M1009 will be able to tow the M332 with a ton of wood pellets in it, but, personally, I would not feel comfortable doing it. Just my $.02... Get an M101A2 with surge brakes. They are a bit more expensive, but they will tow better and you'll have brakes! Plus, you can...

The M332 is a very heavy trailer for an M1009. It can be done...I've done it...but I would not load the trailer with much weight. I had better luck towing 1-1/2 ton trailers with my M1028 since the hitch is up higher and the trailer sits more level.

Kenny, I used to love the deuces...still do. The problem is, every one and their brother has one these days. When I first started going to shows in 1999, an M35A2 was a fairly rare truck. I remember the Aberdeen show in 1999, there were only 5-6 deuces there...period. This past year, a friend...

I've got the sister truck to Ron's singled out winch truck. Mine has the the same bumper #s and is also singled out. Mine originally had the arctic heater in the cargo bed and the cab...but they removed both. Fortunately, RAM had one so I'll replace the cab heater. My truck runs like a raped...

I've got a GO NAVY sticker on the passenger side windshield (top right corner). It was there when I got the truck from the govt...US Navy Seabeas truck.

FLEA: Just be happy that these are open-bid sales. If they were closed, you'd have no idea how high to go. You now know what they are bidding...if you want the truck, go get it!

David, thanks for the explanation. That sounds like what you told me previously...

RKLEIM, $13K is high, but exactly what are you getting for that price? Is it a rebuilt truck? If so, that is not a bad price. With that said, you should be able to find a good runner from a private party for about $4-6K depending upon a lot factors (hard top vs. soft top, winch, heater, air...

I am not sure exactly what David meant about "average." Perhaps, he can chime in to clarify. I take it to mean just that...that a deuce performs about "average" off-road in comparison to all other off-road vehicles. If you single a deuce out and add chains, like you have done, the off-road...

A lowly deuce would do terribly in mud like that. I recall David Doyle once saying that a deuce is only average off-road. Where a deuce really excels is in carrying heavy loads across rough ground. Try that in any civilian monster truck and see what happens to the vehicle after prolonged...

No.

It seems to me that the USAF was big on mounting pintle hitches to the front bumper. I had a former USAF M932 with this same set up. I am also attaching a pic of another truck that did not belong to me.

I think it is the transfer case. I've had that problem with a deuce once before...

Could it be for one of the International Paystar dumps? I know they have auxiliary transmissions.

PINKIE, I noticed your truck has the horizontal exhaust. Which motor is in it?

RE: Re: RE: Kraz 255 While this truck is diesel as the poster states, the Russians used mostly gas-powered trucks for some reason. I am not sure why.

I spent a few weeks in Russia recently and have actually seen their vehicles up close. I will second that their cars are terrible...just plain crappy. With that said, I will also second that their trucks are not crappy and are, in fact, very durable. Their trucks are built with simplicity in...

Jeff, that is an interesting connection that you note. Perhaps, GL knows something that we don't about these sales ending.

I think I agree with CUCVFAN. While ELWENIL makes a good point about big chunks of income coming from scrap dealers, I think, if you add up all of the sales to private collectors, that amount will out-weigh the other. For every bidder 8500 there is, there are thousands of collectors buying one...
