I think the PSI Mobile Products name disappeared about 10 years ago. Mine is the exact same as yours. Air Force has been retiring it's fleet of those. Mine ran a few years ago. $2K.
Nice trucks John. Do you find that they have just barely enough power to move themselves around? I drove one once and couldn't believe that they were all that severely underpowered.
Jim, I am no expert on this at all but I thought it was commonly believed on G838 that the Budd number on the plate under the hood had nothing to do with the serial number/VIN/registration (hood) number???
So you are saying less than $800 for all 4? That is an insult to the seller. Put those on Ebay and watch the bidding wars begin. Those are some nice rust free, clean Jeeps.
Do you have the registration number painted on the hood? This is same as the VIN for 151A1s. Muttguru on G838.org can help decipher the number under the hood to give you a year.
To answer your question: The M35A1's that still have the LDS427 were surplused in the late 1960's. That means for the most part they have not been military maintained or upgraded or overhauled in a long long time. The truck may have been somewhat maintained by whoever owned it, but nothing...

GL just had a big HMMWV tire sale at OKC, the stacks of 4 were bringing 250-350. This is mounted take offs. The cheaper ones were the MT's and the higher ones were BFG's. You can have a motor freight line pick up anything you buy. That will cost you another 350 or so.
The FD was using the 12 V alternator to power lights and sirens and radios. That needs to go along with all that extra mess in the battery box. Looks like a short waiting to happen. All you need is the negative cable going to the frame and the positive cable going to the starter switch, and...
