You should probably PM me as it would not be prudent to discuss that here without being fined.

When I was last at Fort Hood, The G.L. site manager there (great guy named Paul) told me someone was buying the M105s, taking the wheels off and selling the bodies to a scrap metal place. Darned near made me cry...



I was up at Ft. Hood and saw the scrapyard picking up 2 18 wheelers loaded with M105's. When I got home I called the scrapyard and went up there the next weekend and bought 12 tires/rims for $120.00. 10 were usable, but still a great deal.

Great tip... I've seen tires and wheels for the M105s (and what ever else they fit on) go for higher money at Red River Army Depot. You got a good deal on your wheels. I might have to try that sometime.

I really liked the tanker conversion!
