Anyone near Chambersburg, PA

[therbert]

I need someone to take a look at a truck for me. See if it will run and is in drivable condition. I you are willing let me know.

Thanks

I tried to call GL Site and see if they could recomend someone to me to pick it up and make sure it is running. They said we go by the book here, we can't give any information other then what is listed in the description. It sure makes a differnce where you get your truck from. Camp Lejeune, NC guys were awesome.. They suck at Chambersburg, PA.

Still need some help if anyone knows somebody.

Thanks

Chambersburg used to be great. I spent 4 hours inspecting my truck, took it for more than several laps around the yard, and several times the guy came over to see if I needed help. Times must of changed..

 

[therbert]

Ya, that would have been great. I was hoping they could recomend someone like Lejeune did.

Thanks

Not sure what you need? Do you need the truck picked up, inspected for pickup, inspected for potential bidding, is it awaiting an EUC or has an EUC been approved?

I am about an hour away but I fly out of town on Sunday for a week. I may have a day the following week but not sure yet.

RE: Chanbersburg

I am waiting for EUC, Just won bid yesterday. I wanted to see if it was drivable. I want to drive it back to NC. It would be great is someone could pick it up for me also, It is easier for me to fly in on Friday Night and drive home Saturday. Then I don't have to pay for my ticket as I am on my way home from work in FL.

Any help you could give would be appreciated.

Thanks

therbert I am heading to Chambersburg tomorrow to pick up my truck (first deuce ) just pm me the info and I'll give you Justin's number (from GL) so you can call him and ok it with him. He's a good guy, helped me out a ton. I'm sure he will be ok with it.

I'll be leaving my place about 7am to get there as soon as they open before the truck comes to haul mine home at 9am.

You know I when I was a lieutenant and the property book officer, I found out the MSG that did the inspections liked Payday candy bars. When the time came for inspection right on top of my property book were two paydays. You should have seen the smile on his face and the way we aced that inspection. I always try to offer the guys a coffee or doughnut or something when I get there. That and being kind and patient is a big factor in keeping the door open to get a peek as items. I always wear my uniform too so that greases the skids quite a bit. I may have to stop that if I get promoted to Colonel they may think they are getting inspected and try to give me a doughnut.

If I was home Chambersburg is about an hour and ten minutes for me. Look for help from me in late 2008 till then if you buy something in the Busan DRMO I can help...

If crazyguypa or medlog can't do it for whatever reason or you don't hook up in time, I'll be out there quite a bit over the next few weeks. Let me know. I'm just over in York, about an hour away.

 

[ecostruction]

Oh yeah, which truck was it?

 

[CARNAC]

Hey Eco, maybe we can take my old deuce and tow his out if it don't run. Get my last ride in my old deuce.

 

[therbert]

It was the only desert deuce on the lot I think.. I will look up the number and post.

I have to be honest, I am allways the one that is helping my neighbors and getting forgotten when I need something. I don't even know you guys and you make me feel like family.

Thanks Again, Anything I can do let me know.

I'll be there on Tuesday to load out a woodworking shop and trailer. Will be investigating other acquisitions as well to check on how to retrieve. I may have some time to investigate. There were I think three desert deuces between sale 3147 and 3210. Let me know which one and I can look.

Medlog, I'll be taking my "good" deuce to load out the trailer. I won't part with that one. So anytime you need to give it a hug, you are more than welcome. As long as I'm not around to get in the way. I'll gladly tow his out. I need to work the truck a bit.

Crazyguypa, come on, it's home, give us our fix. We are starting to twitch. Hope the trip home was smooth and the truck ran great. How was douglas?

 

[CARNAC]

I promise to be gentle and practice safe...hugging of the truck. LOL

 

[ecostruction]

Correction, there were three deserts that sold in sale 3147 alone. Lot #s 3904,3940, and 3965 (from what I can tell). I presume it was one of these three since when you posted sale 3210 wasn't over yet.

 

[Crazyguypa]

Yeah the truck is home. Waited about 45 mins to get a jump , Justin from Gl was tied up with somone else. Took about 5-10 mins to get it going, damn 16 deg weather.

Brett from Douglass equipment did a nice job getting the truck home. I left 15 mins later than he did so I could check out Tom's truck for him and he beat me home. I was doing 70-75 and took a few miles off going the Pa turnpike, so Lord knows how fast he was going. By the time I got home the truck was already off loaded and idiling in front of the house. Was hoping to get a shot of it coming up the hill to the house....maybe on the next deuce I get

I'll post up some pics tomorrow night while I'm at work if it's not too busy. Still have to get the SF-97 done before i will be able to get the antique tags, so she'll sit for another couple of weeks.

At least she's home, sitting in the driveway. Makes my Dodge truck look like a toy next to it. Will give me some time to look everything over and fix what needs to be done to make sure she's safe. Looks like most of the electrical connectors ar split from age, gonna have to try and find a large surplus of new ones and start replacing them. Heard a clicking noise everyso often in the cab, almost like a breaker was tripping and resetting, wish it was warmer to be outside working on it. From the looks of things, alot of the parts seem to be original.

34 year old truck with 1/4" thick paint top to bottom, front to back. A paint scraper is not going to cut it. Time to get a blaster!

 

[therbert]

Crazyquypa, Happy to hear it went well for you. It is allways painfull getting everything right.

Congrads..

Thanks again for looking at mine.. I did find a trucking company that will haul it for me.. I just can't be there to help load. I still would be intrested if there is another way to get it home.. Shipping is more than I paid for it.

Thanks Again

 

[therbert]

Crazyquypa, By the way, I did read on the site somewhere that a pressure washer worked wonders removing paint on these trucks.

Havn't tried myself but thought I would pass along..

SF-97's

Crazyguypa, glad things went well for ya getting stuff home, but just a little "heads up" on the SF-97's.

GL's had mine since 11/02/07 and when I talked to them this week they told me to call back in a couple more weeks.

The feds are really slow gettin stuff signed this time of year I quess, must be an extended hangover.

I'm sure it's not overwork!!

 

[ecostruction]

My SF97's took about a month back in July.

We'll see how it goes this time around.

Tom,

I didn't PM you yet, but can help if available. I'll pm you soon.

What did Crazyguypa find out? Running/not which lot #?

Regards,

Jake
