I am attaching pics of the truck as it looked when I got it and now. If all goes as planned, it will be completely sandblasted, primed, and painted with fresh 3 color camo CARC within a month. Enjoy.

Bruce, that is a good looking truck. I would love to see it in person at our farm this summer for the convention.

The M983 LET (light equipment transporter) has a midship winch and can be used with M870/M870A1 trailers and the Tru-Hitch FWTRD/HMRT can also be used with M983.

Where the heck does a person come across one of those, and how do they get into the private market?

They get out surplus, but infrequently, since most of them go through a rebuild program with Oshkosh Defense. Maybe a couple a year at best now. A bunch came out in the 1990s, before the reset program started, and before the recent series of wars. They are still rare as hen's teeth.
