Just "OK" M1009's with 60k plus miles have been drawing $2600 - $3000 before fees, recovery, maintenance, repairs, etc, recently on Gl. Makes no sense.
Looks like a very nice truck. You need to seriously think about the steering wheel / steering shaft issue. Smaller wheels can be had from 5-ton trucks, but will make your steering effort somewhat more difficult. As to shortening the steering shaft, I'll defer to those more experienced, but...
I've got an M35A3 that's at the east end of Ft Jackson that hopefully should have the EUC cleared in a few days. Maybe we can find someone to haul them both north?
Let me know what you think.
Anyone local got any good ideas?
Thanks-

Welcome from the other end of the state! I spent a lot of time down in Christiansburg / Blacksburg - where are you?
Lots of info on CUCV's here - lots of opinions too :D
I have / had a bunch of them and am happy to help when you need it.

Welcome!
At least I didn't have to promote myself in this post, E551098 did it for me above.
We're happy to handle all things mechanical - body and paint.... that's another issue.

The accuracy of the vin's listed in the GL ads are about as accurate as the ads themselves.
Why is it a problem? You can't apply for an SF97 until after pickup so you can verify the vin.
Virginia will not accept an SF97 reassigned from GL to get a title in VA. Virginia is one of the states that requires GL to transfer vehicles to purchasers with a title. GL was obtaining Florida titles in their name and then reassigning them to the purchasers. The last batch of titles I got...
So what I'd like to know, has anyone on this board ever actually spoken to "Management" at GL?
I must say that I have had several good outcomes when I've unfortunately had to deal with him/her/them, but therein lies the issue - who is "Management". Why can't "Management" come out from behind...
Because it's easier. No cutting, straightening, welding, etc.. Cuts off probably a half day to a days work on the project. Many do it so they can use the trailers springs for the rear suspension also.
I had an air compressor moved from the Air Force location at the airport in Richmond, VA to the GL site in Richmond. Fortunately they did not mess anything up, but they also didn't tell me about it. Showed up at the airport location on the appointed date and time and nobody was there. After...
We used to be a Viper Alarm dealer, probably installed 20k of them. I have a BUNCH left in stock if you need one. They are not that hard to install. I can get you wiring diagrams as needed.
Quote "One thing that I am very curious about is wheelbase as it applies to the bed...I'm obsessive-compulsive, so #1...the wheelwell has to be exactly centered with the rear tires...and is bed placement a given, or is there wiggle-room, as in can it be pushed back to allow room for a spare...
