Going rate for a (X)M813 either from GL, GSA or private sell

[Deuce-bigalo]

As I many times over, looked and looked at all the wonderful surplus coming out of the Military, I am finding more and more and more the fact I am really pulled to the 5 Ton cargos. Of those of you who have one, when did you purchase it, if you don't my asking what approximately did you pay for it and are the 5T's top speed the same as the Deuce? Perhaps 55 or so?? Also, what in the world does that 'X' stand for on some of the 813's?? That one has me stumped. Experimental perhaps?


Thanks!

P.S. - There is one on GL in El Paso I am very interested in and probably will bid on.

I sold a Mack 5T to a coal company in Kentucky. With a hardtop, heater, Mack turbo-diesel, and a standard bed it cost them $9800. If they bought the truck without the heater and hardtop it was $6900. Since the truck they wanted had the Mack motor but not the other options I had to charge for labor and parts. They really wanted the Mack motor since there was a Mack dealer 30 miles away and could service the truck.

Top speed is 50 mph on these larger trucks. The rpms go to about 2200 or so. The multis go to 2600 rpms.

I believe the "X" implies a possible modification. I may be wrong on that call.

I hope this helps.

DB-

I have known the X to stand for Experimental. Someone posted that here recently.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the help to this point. I just can't say what I want, ya know!? I just see this abundant toy store, a open credit card and the twitchy fingers......

I bought my 813 from GSA about a year ago. I paid 4100.00 for it and I think got a good deal. When we picked it up the employees there said it would not start as several people had been looking and they failed to crank it. It took five minutes to diaognos and five seconds to fix. The emergince shut down cable had been pulled and the screw was loose on the connection at the pump. One little push with the finger and she fired right up. I have replaced one taillight bulb and haven't even had to add diesel yet.

I believe the X stands for non-standard wheel base on the trucks. Kenny Engle will know for sure, but he is in Aberdeen.
Lloyd-
What is the secret of the fuel tank that never empties?
Pllleeeease!!!!!

 

[poppop]

Don't drive the truck very much. And both tanks were full when I picked it up.

 

[rdixiemiller]

Darn!
I was hoping for the never emptying fuel tank! Oh well, back to the old drawing board.......
I am heading down to pick up your doors next week. When I get down your way, it will be like Christmas for you!

 

[poppop]

Yes, and now I will owe you money when you get here!!!!

 

[rdixiemiller]

Thats Right!
And then you will have doors!
Doors are a good thing.
