With a big THANKS to Gimpyrobb and Junkyard Wars Crusher who went over last Friday and spent the day looking at the 21 M817 dumps up for auction, I managed to purchase one today!
They gave me a list of all the high and low points for each truck and rated them for me (since I am way over in NC). Bid on four of them and managed to score on the one that they had rated number one on their list (4302). Supposed to have some troop seat hardware and two spare tires, complete interior (not missing any guages or seats, etc.), and the fluids that could easily be checked look ok...
I missed out on the next three that they thought might be good, mainly since I was trying to figure out if my cousin (who has been jonesing for one) really did have the cash to reimburse me or not...
Two that they said to NOT buy went pretty high since somebody bid late enough to extend the bidding past the close... (one with a missing driveshaft went for more than I bid on my truck!).
