Well, went in with a friend and bid on about 10 trucks (knowing we'd only get a couple) and won two deuces in the lots available in PA in auction 2912. We screened stuff in Mechanicsburg and Chambersburg PA, but at the Mech. site our government escort would not allow us to start the trucks, so we were hesitant to bid on them, regardless of how nice they looked. Plus, they were further from home anyways.
My friend is not a Steel Soldier, nor a vet, but he is pretty enthused about getting a truck that is as useful as these are for his farm. We ended up with two good ones.
Truck A is lot 3642, which was a strong runner, turbo (we had it running onsite, and it whistled very nicely!) with a winch (new cable). No rust, came with a hard top, cargo bed cover, west coast mirrors, air ride drivers seat, wiper washer installed, and great tires. We got it for $2483.
Truck B is lot 3621, non runner, but I believe it was only because of a dead battery, it couldn't even buzz the low air buzzer. Non-winch, no bed cover or bows, had a vinyl cab cover, but it had great paint, no rust anywhere, good tires, and had the old school metal turn signals/brake lights and elephant ear mirrors. We got it for $1505.
I'm excited! Now gotta figure how to get them home!![Thumbs Up [thumbzup] [thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif)
