If it was that way in the ANG, it was put together by them,
from canabalized trucks.

might have been but its a good truck and going to be used for a lot of fun opcorn:

That's a nice truck you got there, even if it's an amalgamation of parts from two trucks. I'd snag one of those winch bumpers, look very beefy and probably will work well for you....

Meh, that bumper gets the job done.

I do like the M1010 box on an M88x truck. Just plain looks better than those W400/M886.

Sorry Bob

im looking to buy a m880 ambulance

 

[nattieleather]

That is just wierd to me. You get that surplus from the Mill or did it go through local government hands? I have seen the guard to some strange things before, but I can't believe the local OMS shop doing that much work to make it look that good.

I just got an M886, from what I've been reading there aren't a whole lot out there anymore. Last week I did stumble across a surplus store in Virginia that had 2 parked in the front lot. I had to go in and ask about them. Both are runners and they have a 3rd for parts. So, they can be found...just have to keep looking.

I like it.

Why did you remove the ac unit?

 

[IMUSTSURVIVE]

Why

I removed it because im making this into a expediction vehicle and going to place a new a/c unit and solar system on it
