Holy Cr$p! I got one

[70deuce]

Colomil, that truck's super singles are Goodyear G286 radials and are real sweet tires!! I was lucky enough to scarf 10 of those bad boys on the rims for my M818. What a difference in ride and handling. those tires are worth every bit you paid for that truck. Saw it today (thurs 1- while I was down there checking out my new addition. Pic attached. 1968 Kaiser, 10,200 miles 1990 rebuild tag on "D" motor.

I was gonna bid on one of those trailers, but decided the truck was enough for now!
But that will be next!

When I was at the site looking at them, most of them where turbos, the GL guy Justin (by the way a very nice guy) was saying that alot of them for some reason have a small exhaust stack, but still had a turbo. he agreed kinda pointless setup. I didnt happen to look at the tan one so not sure about that one.

70deuce- congrats on the new truck!

I often get the "residue" trucks to fix up just for fun. This one had the tires and the hard top so I seemed like a reasonable fixer-upper. I have seen many of these super single m35a2 trucks come through ft carson but they are almost always cannibalized. On the other hand, I see the regular 10-wheel trucks come through un-molested. I guess it makes perfect "Army" sense...

Did you see some of the final prices for the M1009s? One was over $3k!

 

[70deuce]

Colomil, yes I did see the final prices and about half of those M1009's were in sorry shape.

I GOT ONE TOO~!

Won it in Missouri with 12,215 miles on it! A 1968 Kaiser M35A2~! Running.

Thanks for everyone on the board that provided info and help!

Now I just got to get it back to Kansas!

Congratulations!

Jefferson City?

When you going after it?

 

[Gunwriter]

As soon as my EUC clears!
Have never been to Jefferson....want to help me fetch it?
Will make it worth your while!

Congrats on all the purchases. I am in the process of buying one myself (not through GL though)

Depending on work schedule sure, although I have only recovered one so far (it was from Jefferson City too) so it is not like I am nearly as qualified as others on this board.

I am going down Tuesday after an M1009.

 

[Gunwriter]

Well it would be good to meet another board member and wouldn't mind the help!

Good luck on the M1009!
These things are addictive huh!

Maybe I can arrange the pick-up so you can go!
Should be an adventure!

I'd go with you to help with the M1009 but I fly out to Orlando for the SHOT Show
Sunday....dammit!

Welcome fellow Marylander. Your are surrounded by a fair number of SS members. Nice truck, and oh yea, wives never go after army trucks in a divorce!!! You are safe on that front!

 

[jmh4x4]

Good to know about the divorce front lol. I made up to her last night, we went shopping and dinner, luckly she's pretty easy to make up too. she has a scrapbooking habit so I think we are now even, beside she now has something else to take pictures of.
