GL Using the best SEABEE Truck

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

While I was in Leavenworth Kansas in August this truck was parked out back of my hotel for a night and I had to investigate it is licenced to GL for hauling semis and boy would I like to bid on this but it probably will never get into our hands.

It is one sweet truck

I've seen a few of these Ford's on GL.

Too bad it's a Ford, otherwise it would be a cool truck

Wouldnt mind having one of those myself,especially because its a Ford

Chappy, there is one in Richmond, going up on auction i think start date of the 16th. i walked around looking at a few of the trucks, this one included. its not a 5th wheel, but an extremely long flatbed. i also didnt start it but was told she ran well.

I agree...Will...never mind

i wonder why the headlights are in the bumper? is it because the front of the truck sits up real high?

F900 about 10-12 ton rig. Love the looks. ( points out truck to wife. Bad move )

Looks clean but if it has the 7.8 Brazilian made Ford Diesel run away as fast as you can!!! We couldn't even get a trade in price on customers trucks when were speced with the 7.8 diesel as none of the big dealers we worked with wanted that engine. Looks like somebody has a slow day at GL due to the "interesting" greasing job of the fifth wheel. You still can't beat the stout apperance of the M818's in my opinion.

I wanted the tires and wheels but I could not fit them in my baggage.

Yea,By law headlights must be between 24" and 54inch measured from the Center of the headlight to the level ground with teh vehicle unloaded.Most jacked up 4x4 trucks can be ticketed cause of headlight infractions if they really wanted to be a butt about it.Also low rider vehicles can also get ticketed if it the lights are below 24" from the ground.

I think I'd have to put in a set of lights in the stock location... even if I used the ones in the bumper as the primary lights. It just looks weird.

But I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

Do the folks who work for GL get employee dicounts or any fringe bennies...I don't think I could handle working for them. Anyone know that weird cool feeling you get when you find a junkyard with a bunch of cool stuff in it? Imagine having to work there and have to see all that stuff go away all the time! ITS MINE I SAY.....MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE...ALL MINE!!! GO AWAY!!!

Funny thing is that the truck still belong to the U.S. Government (license plates) but it's being used by a non government employee (GL).....in case of an accident, death, property damage etc...who gets the liability?
