GSA trucks in Arkansas & Texas

anyone pick up an old Kaiser or AM General the other day? Most looked pretty well worn and I think all were listed as incomplete and not running but still there was some very classic old Army iron down there and in Texas. All too far away for me tho.

It's a sad end for the Lufkin (Hudson, TX) forestry trucks. A local scrap yard bids like 1200 for deuces and 1500 for 5 tons, and usually wins all of them, as they are not too attractive to the rest of us who can buy runner deuces from Ft Sam or RRAD for the same dollars.

trouble is that unless you are into the more modern trucks, the Army has very few of the classics left however I agree that most appeared to be pretty much scrap imo.

Just durned glad I was able to get a very nice Kaiser rig when I did. The M939's are just not the same in my book and now the market is becoming downright saturated with them. I wonder how many the Army still has to surplus?

Since the military had over 32,000 M939 series trucks in service to start with i would say they still have thousands left to auction off.
