New Arrival

[Gamagoat1]

Here is a picture of my new arrival. Thought you might like to see some more heavy weights.

That looks great!! Nice rig.

Now, we need to see some shots of it in action!

 

[Gamagoat1]

Thanks, thats comming. Got to clean it up and grease it then see what I can catch on that hook.

 

[M1075]

Outstanding, I love it (and the trailer too)! What is the market price on those wreckers now?

 

[CGarbee]

I am so green right now (and no, I have not been spraying paint...)...

Great looking rig. I have to get one...

 

[Gamagoat1]

Believe it or not, this was on E-Bay. Paid 11,000. They usually range from about 18 to 27,000. This has 231 hrs on the 250 Cummins and 18,000 miles.
The shipping from Mass. to Colorado wasn't as friendly.

 

[Desert Deuce]

That's a beatiful truck. Someday.....

Congrats!!

 

[clinto]

Wow, you only paid $11K for that?

*clinto sits down next to CGarbee, also turns green*

 

[Gamagoat1]

Thanks.
The shipping was real interesting.

 

[clinto]

Well come on man, spill the beans…. We want to hear the shipping story!

And your MVPA # is 171? Man, you are one of the original members, hunh?

 

[Gamagoat1]

Yea, I'm old man. Just ask my wife. Of course with the new truck I wont have to worry about having a wife any more.
I wanted to drive it home but a trip from Spencer Mass to Elizabeth Colorado (1900 miles) was a bit more than the truck, ( or me) should be subjected to. Once It arrived and I checked it out, I think it would have handled it fine.( The truck)
It cost me 4500 to ship. Still in shock but I'm still under the usual 18,000 price tag.

That is one great looking rig! If I had known ,I would have offered to drive it out to you to save on shipping (Sorry, Smiles not working) ! That thing makes the Deuce seem like a midsize if not a compact vehicle! I don't know how I'm going to tell the wife after two Deuces, that I now "need" 5 ton wrecker! Ahhh?

 

[Gamagoat1]

Be radical like me, don't tell her. When it gets there and she starts moving out help her pack... (Just kidding)

 

[73m819]

nice wrecker,
dh, tell her that you need a wrecker to bring home one of the deuces, if you have failure that makes the truck not flat towable, that was my line for trying to get a second wrecker (m62a1 that id found for a goog price), told her that i needed it incase the m819 went down, i got the ok but never brought the m62

 

[doghead]

That was my excuse for having two Deuces. Also the excuse for buying a tow bar setup! I may be able to explain to her the need to boom tow if the tow bar can't get it home, but I doubt it. She would probably use that reverse psychology on me an make me believe that if i sold the 2 Deuces, I could just get a 5 ton wrecker instead! (2.5ton plus 2.5 ton equals 5 ton? I don't know ????)

 

[texas-5-ton]

Great looking truck !! Sounds like you got a very good deal

 

[doghead]

Be radical like me, don't tell her. When it gets there and she starts moving out help her pack... (Just kidding)

 

[Knucklehead]

That truck was next town over from me, he kept it in Charlton,MA. The fellow had it for sale for quite a while and would not budge on $20k. You got a really sweet truck, and a super deal. I took it out for a test drive and it ran very well. Best of luck with it.

 

[Gamagoat1]

Thank You! He had it on E-Bay and wanted 13. I missed the Auction, his highest bid was 7 something. When I called to see if he still had it, he let it go for 11. I've still got blisters on my check writer.It is a honey though. Only thing that didn't work was the horn.

Great looking wrecker, wish I had the money for one is that the M809 series wrecker?
