Why not just take the truck apart, send it home one piece at a time?

It's cheaper to leave it behind and it furthers the local economy to boot !

No worry at all. If it's still there I welcome anyone to try and get it. I wouldnt mind getting the pto & stuff for my winch, but I am not in a hurry.Hey man, I grew up in Seffner. Which air port are you reffering to? No worries, I am in no position to go get it.
I just don't think it will be possible. You'll face insurmountable importation, titling, and registration restrictions once you got it home, as well as possible federal charges of larceny, even though the military has abandoned it.
It's an awesome idea, and I hated to see everything go to waste when I was there, but unfortunately it's just not a very viable idea. Even if you went back there 10 years from now, and all the Amriki's were gone, I'd still imagine importation of military equipment would be very hard to pull off.
Not true! Bringing US built army trucks back to the states is not a problem at all. Look at all the trucks that Army Cars brings in from Belgium. My ex-Italian Diamond T breezed through customs. The ocean freight was about $2000 from Europe. Now armor is another matter.
If Lonesome could get a bill of sale from Uncle for those trucks, he could bring them here easily, but the freight bill would be 10 times the value of the truck.
