Bought LMTV... and Got Hemmet Cab

[sargentwolf]

Not sure if this is the right place for this. Just purchased an lmtv cab crated off of gov liquidations. They sent me a Hemet cab. If you purchase one of these boxed and crated lmtv cabs, highly suggest you pop it open immediately in check. It's completely stripped

Got a Gynecological Examination chair once instead of what I bought. I would return it and insist that they pay shipping since you did not get what you purchased.

 

[sargentwolf]

Asked for either that or I keep this cab and they send the right cab... Theres a few more on Gov liquidation still

 

[sargentwolf]

Great. Called the drmo yard. Several people called about the same issue.

If you bought one from Henderson, open it now.

 

[bsteinborn]

Interested in selling the cab? My HEMTT would look nice with a new cab!

 

[sargentwolf]

Pm sent.

 

[scottmandu]

Great I bought 10 of them... I'll know something tomorrow.

GL probably got a lot full of crates, they opened one and took some pics and just assumed all the rest were the same. Common practice for them. If you paid with a cc you should be ok.

 

[sargentwolf]

Yep. Working with site manager to get the correct cab and maybe do a swap out. Or flat out return and bid on a correct, verified correct one.

I'm happy with the progress so far in the process. Not happy with the 6 inch deep rat nest, or the 175lbs of rat turds, or the mummified bird, or the fact that the cab is stripped out almost entirely...

 

[Suprman]

The site manager may have the best intentions and if he can fix it then all good. But dealing with GL management will not be like that. They usually wont even talk to you. Only relaying messages back and forth thru the phone staff.

I don't buy anything that is "representative ". Just my own rule.

A friend & I bought 6 cabs out of Herlong, CA. Where did yours come from?

The descriptions from GL all read "2009 Stewart & Stevenson FMTV STD Cab Assembly M1157 10 ton, removed from unissued vehicle's, crated and put into long term storage for future service. Cab will fit multiple chassis, Technical and Operators Manuals included, - -cab pictures are representative of the item being sold." One of the cabs was a real POS, none of them were as recent as 2009, all of them had been used and about half of them had quite a bit of the electrical components on passenger side dash pulled out/missing.

I notice that the description now reads “Stewart & Stevenson MTV STD Cab Assembly M1088A1, removed from previously used vehicle, crated and put into long term storage for future service. Cab will fit multiple chassis, Technical and Operators Manuals may or may not be included, - -, cab pictures are representative of the item being sold, may have broken windows or mirrors, cosmetic and physical damage,”

Still working out what the game plan will be with GL.

Maybe Pvt Pyle packed the crate.

Same place. Was typing fast between phonecalls between gl and shipping place (making sure they didn't load wrong thing)

I saw that too. They did send out an email about the cabs being wrong, but as in wrong model fmtv cab was sent. The site manager is checking remaining stock and updating gl so maybe its related to that?

 

[MGKMartin]

I got two out of Herlong. One was a 2009 the other was from a wrecked 2002 with 18k miles. Front was bent up, both door glass broken, seats torn, etc.

 

[FHIV]

I bought two 2009 cabs and received the same. Both are in great shape minus a few dead mice.

 

[scottmandu]

Lucky you... I bought 10, received 5 and they aren't anything as described (new 2009 etc) , used missing parts, damaged etc. Thankfully they are part of the email admitting their mistake.

One cab! All I wanted was one new, shiny cab! So many parts I could have upgraded and then sold the rest off!!!

This was my first govt liquidation purchase. Did they loose the contract?

If they dont have a 1157 cab left and send a 1088a1, would anyone at all be interested in a trade for a 1157?

No they didn't loose the contract. GL just doesn't give a flip.

The M1088A1 cabs are used, not new like the M1157's they supposedly have.

GL lost the contract. They will continue to recieve surplus until GP has their warehouses set up to recieve the stuff. GL will continue to sell off stuff that they already have in their possession but they are winding down. When all is done and switched over to GP selling the non rolling stock I dont see GL/liquidity services surviving much past that.
