another M1028a2

[GM72K10]

Picked up a GSA M1028A2 truck today, maybe parts, but I'm crazy enough to put it back together, I think I have all the parts except a driveshaft. Note, I had to bring a tailgate, 4 wheels and tires and it has a bent front tie rod, no steering box, no doors, no engine, no trans, no transfercase, etc, just a shell with differentials. This thing shows 54 miles, that's right 54 miles, its clean, was used for parts, forestry fellow says engine and trans were stolen before they got it from other location. ( how would you steal the drivetrain without being noticed?)
The scrap in the back should pay for the trailer rental, I have the other M1028a2 as a re assembly guide.

Man, I want one of those!

Thats a big project you don't need. Just sell it to me.

Looks clean, put it back together!

 

[Warthog]

Not worth much....I'll pay you scrap value for it and throw in an extra $20..

I have a rustbucket M1009 that would provide all the needed parts.

Good find.

Cummins 5.9 354 gears with OD Trans man that would be worth it and I have all stuff to do it.

I prefer my steering wheel a little low, but that's just ridiculous. Nice find! Mind sharing what you picked it up for?

Good save, those are getting hard to come by.

Hard to find but don't bring much. I tried to sell my restored A3 for months and finally got just over 4K. What did you pay for it?

Everything I've heard is that there are 300+/- of these trucks. They are rare. I sold mine because I have to move in 4 months, and picked my top choices to keep. In a few years, I have no doubt the duallys will be worth quite a bit.

Thats a nice rust free truck Gerry. You gotta fix that one. Did you get anything good in the back?

 

[Atwater]

you have a point there. wish i had the space to get serious about collecting the different incarnations of that body style.

Had time to find the steering box in the back, a bent door, batteries, a hood, plastic gas tank, a soft top for a convertible deuce?, troop seats (shot), scrap iron, split rim wheels, will look tomorrow maybe those magical unbent driveshafts will be in there too! (probably not). Any one know what this gas tank is for?

 

[GM72K10]

Cleaned out the scrap before the snow. 4 batteries, scrap iron, dodge fender, bent up cucv door, split rims, genearal crap brough 86 bucks. Found front sway bar, 2 steering boxes, steering arm, only good surprises in back. Front tie rod all bent up from forklift. Rear stabalizer bolts cut off but everything else still there. No d/s's but they were probably bent anyway. Managed to get mangled back bumper off before the snow, braces still had nsn stickers on them, bolts like new! Bent up fron guard came off easy too. Truck really only has 54 miles on it, what a shame they used it for parts.

Looks like one of the civi's plastic replacements for the trucks of those years....LMC has them....won't corrode and rust out....

 

[cutbogger]

"Found" yet another one! (M1028a2, has new engine to boot!) Right here in pa from DCNR. Can't wait to see what's wrong with this one.

 

[Disciple]

Wow! Sweet find. Well, sorry God, I was doing pretty well with that whole "Though shall not covet" thing till now.
