7 trucks from Indianapolis to Montrose, MI. Help!

[miltruckman]

I purchased 7 trucks on Govliquidation, in Indianapolis, IN.

I'll need to move them all to Michigan.

Any ideas anyone?

I think it is time for a C O N V O Y ! !

Hi Bill,

Yikes! 7?!!

If most are runners, maybe you can get some people to ride down and drive/tow them back. You can borrow my medium towbar if you want also.

Regards,

 

[miltruckman]

That sounds like an idea! And thanks for the offer to loan the towbar.

They are all stated in the description to run. I only bid on trucks with nice new paint jobs too.

My insurance agent said he can write a temporary coverage binder for them so it would be nice and legal.

My brother in-law who lives in Indianapolis is looking for a place for me to park them temporarily so I can get them off the base.

I also lined up a place to park them up here.

I'll buy all the gas and food!

Any volunteer drivers?

Seriously.

Bill,
You may want to check with R&S Fleet Service in Indianapolis on holding them for you. They helped me out with my pick up earlier this year. Please give a shout to GIJOECZAR (Joe Czarnik) as I believe he still has some cylinder heads there that need to move north west to Wisconsin.

Bill,

List the tentative dates that you might go so others can chime in. From your house to Indy and back is more than a full day of driving down and back... in a deuce, without break downs. Quite an adventure!

Regards,

I'll know more when the EUC clears, probably in 1-4 weeks. The EUC clears pretty fast when you have purchased items recently. And I just bought an M105 in Lansing.

I'll post as soon as I know anything.

Thanks,

Bill,

Make it late in September, you can road trip them up to the Camp Grayling Color Tour, test them out on the trails for three or four days, then ????

I'd be up for a road trip. Maybe Lane (citizensoldier) is up for another long road trip. I have a flatdeck trailer that could be used if one of them is not a "roller"

What an adventure! Man, I wish I was closer.

Bill,

After driving two of them home in the last three months I think I'm qualified to move one forward for you.

Just give us a date and we will see if it works out. I have a trip out at the end of Sept but other than that we can try and work out a convoy.

Sounds like fun.

Thanks so much everyone! I have an 11 passenger van. We could really make a road trip out of it.

I'll keep you all updated at things progress.

I'll attach some photos of the trucks. Some of the best I've seen at auction!

Here are the rest of the trucks

Reminds me of that song by C.W. McCall "Convoy". Maybe they can sing it along the way .

Let me know when, I might be able to get in some seat time for You.

 

[miltruckman]

Looks like the photos have been removed? Did I break some rule by putting them in this forum?

[miltruckman]

O, I see.

There they are. They just take a long time to download on my old home computer.

I picked up a couple in the same auction and am sure I can help if our EUC's clear at the same time. "Have tow bars will travel"... Keep me posted Bill

 

[scooter01922]

Nice score, looks like you even snagged a non turbo too. Gonna be one heck of a convoy for sure. Too bad i'm not closer or i would be there. What on earth do you need another 7 for if you don't mind sharing??
