Nice Buy! I was eyeing that one up but really need to just get my hands on my first one...
Do you know the correct name for the changeable number dealybob on the hood?
My friend's came out of Sparta and had one. Mine is coming from Ripley and does not.

Sublime, it's a Bridge weight classification plate. It's the number of short (or standard, I'm drawing a blank) tons that the Truck, it's intended weight, and trailer, and it's intended weight, should weight at max. It's so they can determine if the temporary bridge or permanent bridge in some area can be crossed or if alternate means are required.

You got the one at Ripley? 9250? That was what i wanted, but I had already bid on this one, I figured The sole one at Ripley would go high so didn't wait for it. You got a **** of a score! That one looks MINT. Bridgeplate.

Oh I wish I got the M1038. I have a plain old 2 door troop carrier M988 without the rear cover waiting on EUC from the Sept 2 auction. Mine looks like it has a hub seal or two leaking. But it has the nice brush guard like yours.

I just got a m1038. My understanding is its the same as the 1028 but with a winch on the front. Is that all?

Just a note on the bridge plate. The normal number for a HMMWV is 04. The retaining plate that goes across the top is blank on one side and has a C on the other. When you're pulling a trailer you show this to let the bridge control people know that the number represents the combined weight of the truck and trailer. Most guys just leave it on 69 for some reason. LOL
