Jay, I wish I could say that I won it! However, I can't say that because I did not win it. That was a lot of coin for a rare truck, but it seemed kinda high for an unknown...and this comes from someone who had a trained military truck mechanic inspect the truck. Still, if the truck runs, someone got a good deal. It was just too much risk for me to go over $40K.

There is a tool that you screw into the spring brake cannisters to release the brakes so the truck can roll freely...as in it was towed to the site.

PCtrans, that's a sweet setup, you spliced a 800 series and a HEMMT rear end??

I think the FMTV went high due to the uniqueness of it, how many of these are out there in civilian use?

There are a lot of tandem units out there, but have yet to see a 6x6 unit. In all my travels to different bases, I haven't seen any of these. I thought I had a unique item.

I am foolish to think there must be some serious flaw to this unit to be so new and still surplussed?
