Chris, you're sure an evil temptor! Well, I have ten bucks riding on tonight's lottery... crossing my fingers!

 

[Cdub]

Watch out.....if you make it to nice, you might not want to sell it anymore....Hahaha


Keep up the GREAT WORK.........!!

Cheers,

C'dub

Chris, you ever bid on those cement trucks I looked at for you? Might want to start looking up in Mechanicsburg and Chambersburg, there's some really nice big iron lining up at the GL site....

I bid early to watch the bidders. I was going to bid on the last day, but they went over my budget. I think they went for $8-10k, which is a good price, but a little higher than I wanted to go. Man they are huge!!


Cdub, thanks. It is starting to come together real well cosmetically. If I just had a little more time, I would re-spray the entire truck. That would make all the difference in the world. It'll make someone a real sharp truck.


Nf6x, if you win the lotto, the generous thing to do would be to give me the asking price and let me keep the truck

 

[nf6x]

Well, I'm not that generous, but I suppose I could throw in my M35A2C so you'll still have something to drive!

Mighty kind of you!

Chris, why not put it back on ebay, with a reserve if nothing else amd you'll find out how much bidders are willing to pay.
Most of us poor slobs can only afford the old stuff. The FMTVs and new 900 series trucks are way out of reach.

 

[steelsoldiers]

Bjorn, I've considered it, but I only had a few decent offers last time I listed so I may go with David Uhrig MV Broker instead. I am also considering respraying the whole truck myself. I have a good spray-gun setup now so if I can get a few hours here and there to do it, then I may go ahead and take care of it.

Got my Protective Control Box from Winslow today. My brother picked it up on his way here to help me finish a few pre-baby projects. We got it installed in under 20 minutes and it started on the first crank. It was great to hear it run again. I took the old one apart and some of the printed circuits on the board were fried. I still can't believe they would use a PCB with printed circuitry in a tactical vehicle. I can only imagine if one would fail on the front line. You'd have to abandon the truck and set the charges.

Bjorn, are you still interested in tinkering with my old one?

 

[emmado22]

Thats why with all of my 900 series trucks, every 3d one carried a spare control box in the BII compartment

Always, Chris, I'll PM my address.

 

[steelsoldiers]

Well, it finally happened. A guy came with a pocket full of cash last night and drove the truck away. I will miss it, but the cash will really help out. I'm sure a new truck will take its place one day soon

 

[nf6x]

Dang, I sure wish I was that lucky guy!

 

[TedG]

Congrats Chris! That wad of cash will pay for a lot of diapers!

 

[ARMYMAN30YearsPlus]

Great news daddy!

Now will you get me an M38A1 to ride with you in? Grant.

Just thinking of a future MV lover Chris, take care and God bless

 

[maddawg308]

Can I borrow a few bucks Chris?

 

[steelsoldiers]

Mark, if you just would have hit that lotto!

Ted, thanks. He's gonna need a truck-load of Pampers before he's done

David, he'll definitely be getting his first MV at a young age. Whenever he's old enough to hold a wrench!

Mike, sure, what do you need, like 4 or 5?

 

[maddawg308]

Sure, 4 or 5 thousand would be nice. I can take a check!

 

[steelsoldiers]

Only 45% interest compounded daily

 

[timntrucks]
