I wonder why they pulled all the m35a2s

[wreckerman893]

Care to enlighten us on where they are?

Commenting on specific ongoing auctions is a no-no on this forum......but if you were to go to the website of a large gooberment contractor that is the agent for surplus sales and do a search for trucks you might find some deuces for sale.

I picked my first Deuce from Knox last week. I asked the GL attendant why all the Deuces at Frankfort were pulled. He told me that concern had arisen over low levels of radiation emitted by newer model glow-in-the-dark gauge clusters (hugh?). He did not elaborate on why this affected older trucks but he did say auction postings are on hold until he gets word from higher up. Hope this helps. And yes, I am being serious.

5 on right now...somewhere

 

[l1a1man]

Heard the army demil code changed and they have to be destroyed before leaving?? I hope not. Anyone find out if this was BS? I still want one but have to wait.

 

[CARNAC]

The truck or the radioactive guages need to be destroyed?

Deuces= NO
guages= No and Yes (Removed from vehicle and sent somewhere else as HAZMAT)

 

[jbingvtx]

so what is the verdict....zombies or no?? If it is zombies can I ride with someone? I didn't get a truck in time.

No zombies, but I am working on a contract to buy up all 4723 trucks left for sale once the inspections are over.... If anybody wants to buy any of them Starting bids will be $30,000 each

Thanks Brad, for lining that up. I'll take 14. Is delivery extra?

No problem, delivery is free if you buy 10 or more

Did your tractor make it home yet?

Tractor is home! Got here Sat morning. It is a 1990 re-build with very dead batts. Started with the slave cable and took it for a spin. No apparent problems. Replaced bad battery terminals and cleaned all the rest, repaired several fuel lines. Putting batts back in after lunch. Block heater comes tomorrow, and that should be that.

Looks like M35a2s are starting to re-appear.

 

[fuzzytoaster]

I sure hope so, but only in limited locations. I still cant justify driving home from NE area to Texas. Oye..

 

[wsucougarx]

Looks like we're good to go

 

[Stan Leschert]

Up here we just had a problem with surplus MLVWs which only have a single braking circuit. They may become parts only vehicles. This may be realted to your problem, or as others have said, some now friendly country put in a big wish list to Santa!

It will be interesting to see how much the first few go for after the freeze of trucks!
