By the way, I am by no means a dealer. I just happen to have a serious addiction to all things green and a patient wife. If you followed me around, you'd end up with a nice truck, because I usually simply try to get my money out of them.

James, I understand these are public auctions, but you are wrong to think that, just because they are public, everyone knows about them. I have missed items on these public auctions because I was not watching as carefully as I should have been. Had someone turned me onto the fuel truck that...

Why would you advertise it if you were planning to bid on it? If you are looking to give away money, PM me so I can give you my address. I would bet we'll be competing on it...no worries...you'll probably outbid me...I need to figure in shipping to MD.

I take it from your last post that you are not going for the fuel truck. Otherwise, I doubt you would have posted about it. Thanks for increasing my competition on the truck.

Bleed a little of the fluid out at one of the wheels. This will release the brakes and will allow you to get home. I've had this problem before. Apparently, the brake pedal needs more play. I bet your brake lights were stuck on when you pulled over. This is because the expansion of the...

Mark, I'll take it if you still have it. Please PM me. By the way, I am out of town until Monday so I will not be able to reply until then, but I definitely want it. \ Bruce

What about insurance? I assume you'll have insurance on the deuce, but will you have regular or historic vehicle insurance? The latter seriously limits what you can do with the truck (i.e., what you can haul). You get in a wreck hauling your possessions around and I bet you will have violated...

Brandon, I think that GOER came out of Ft. Jackson, SC. I say this because I can see the bumper #s on the passenger side rear...WVMS...Wheeled Vehicle Mechanics School...part of TDC FJ...Tactical Doctrine Command, Ft. Jackson. My old M936A2 and my current M925A2 both came out of TDC, WVMS. No...

Ethan, If you have not fully decided to keep it, give me a buzz.

...by the way, the number of hours should roughly correspond to the mileage. For example, 500 hours or so might roughly equate to a truck with 12,000 miles.

Be prepared for your cargo to bounce around if you choose the deuce route. I would not recommend hauling anything too fragile. It would make for a fun and exciting trip. However, if you have any problems, you will have wished you had not been so adventurous. The BEST gauge of use/lifespan is...

Blake: You have a good memory. I got that deuce, as well as two others on that same sale. I paid $707 for a truck that I drove from SC to MD. There were five other deuces at the same site and I could have had each for the same price. Similar trucks on previous open sales were bringing $3K...

RE: Trucks I know this is a little off topic, but it follows on Wayne's post. If these sales were sealed bid sales like they used to be, the prices would still be low. GL used to have both sealed bid and open bid sales. Don't for a moment think that the people who run GL are fools. They did...

They should go back to the descriptions they often used in the old days..."M35A2, year unknown, running condition unknown, some parts missing...Good luck." This discouraged blind bidding, which kept prices lower. I am glad you got your money back. Maybe next time you'll go to inspect the...

RE: lube trailer in SC on GSA auction I've said it before...no need to let us know about current or upcoming auctions. Personally, I had not seen the lube trailer and I may bid on it now. You may have just created more competition for this trailer...and maybe someone on this list already had...

Kenny, Whatever you do, my suggestion is DON'T MODIFY YOUR TRACTOR. That has to be one of the nicest running deuces I've ever driven. If you must have a cargo, sell the tractor...but please don't bastardize her. For the cost of a run of the mill M35A2, why not buy another truck so you have a...

I concur...$5K is cheap for an operational wrecker. Heck, if it was a gasser, $5K is not a bad price. Make sure the turntable operates properly. I've seen trucks with cracked turntables. I've heard this is from lifting a heavy load from the side without the outriggers in place. I'd love to...

In terms of the turbo...if it has the larger exhaust stack, it is a turbo truck. Also, the non-turbo trucks generally have rusty exhaust stacks. I seem to remember that the truck was turbo...

I'm not trying to be paranoid, but you never know who is lurking on this list...and who you'll bring to the auction that may not have previously known about it. Trust me...you'll have enough competition. Good luck!

It looks like a good, clean deuce. I agree with everyone...inspect if you can. Be careful about alerting lurkers about such a nice truck. You may have unwittingly turned other bidders on to the truck that interests you. I am not bidding on it, and therefore won't bid against you. However, I...
