H7 Classification

[Tinwoodsman]

Most of the M35A2's posted on GL have a H7 classification and I have read their definition but am confused as to exactly what that means. How many of you purchased one like this and found the condition to be okay. Particularly, to get it off the lot.

It means they don't want them anymore and you should go inspect them before you bid. If you don't inspect, expect it to be a scrap truck and be happy if you get a good one. There is SO many things that can go wrong your head will spin. I helped pick up 7 on Monday and the guy that inspected them missed the radiator that had holes in it and the same truck had a rear brake drum fire. He missed that too. Even an inspection is no guarantee!

Condition code is meaningless on GL listings. They just put what DRMO put, DRMO just puts what the unit turning it in put, they put whatever they had to put to get it turned in.

My truck was listed as H7. It is in great shape. Check the truck you want with a fine tooth comb. Condition codes are meaningless.

There is an old thread where we discussed the classification codes in depth (and the general consensus was that you should totally ignore them) but I'll be darned if I can find it.

It would help if search could find words with less than 3 digits.

Short answer: ignore the codes. Wanna' rally know what you are bidding on and potentially buying? Inspect it. Otherwise, bid as if it is scrap metal.

And be prepared to tow/trailer it. Absolutely no way of knowing if you will be able to drive it home. NO WAY WHATSOEVER without a detailed preview (possible) and test drive (impossible).
