Ok, no picks yet my camera is at the shop. So please don't hammer me too hard. For some reason only known to the M.V. Gods I got the nicest M818 I have ever seen, (For cheep) I feel like I got a unexpected tax return, you know the kind of thing that make a 50 year old guy hoot and hollar and do handstands. This thing looked so good that I thought I have to bid and I will never win. Well We won with little contest. Everybody must have been sleeping. New paint job, nice woodland camo, 11 brand new T831 radial tires, 4 new deka batts, heater, and a fully serviced m818 thrown in for good measure. I recoverd it from Lansing on friday and the only things wrong with it was the power stearing belt needed to be tightend and and the horn contacts ar dirty. I put temp ins. on it and drove it home and another 150 miles today and its like a new truck. I stole someones baby. I feel guilty, but I will get over it. Annie loves the truck because of the power steering and has 50 miles or so behind the wheel, I just might have lost that new truck. At least I can still work on it. Pics tomorrow Joe

This one makes up for all the false adds and decepive stuff that g&l has pulled on me over the years, I feel redemtion, its like I am sticking it to the MAN. Its a good feeling.

Its not stealing, its payback, the M.V. Gods smiled on me. Now its the wifes truck and I get to work on it. Thank god for test drives.... P.S. they gave it an oil change and full filter change and grease job. At least they left a few things for me to do. As soon as the horn is fixed, i'll take it on a five hundred mile test honk.

No unit markings, must have come straight from the shop. Somebody parked in the wrong place and it was shipped off to Lansing by mistake. Oooops!

Nice score!
