I think they have a rule on here that says we can't post active auctions HOWEVER we can talk about trucks being sold at an auction, but we can't post the auction itself. Having said that, thats a very rare unit as it's the compressor model. Was the "hydo" unit added later? (See, we're...

Makes you wonder about all the ones in Europe when they were surplused.

Available??

Drool -- drool on these pixs !!! I got out of the service in '84 (and looking back what a big mistake) but I remember the Supply Sgt saying that if you damage your Jeep it'll cost ya $14,000.00 I guess someone would pay $14,000.00 for one of these today with no problem !!

I'm really suprised that GL does'nt bundle stuff togather and sell in lots like the DMRO did. Look at all the work in "onse's and twos'es". I mean for example, there's a bunch of ammo trailers being offered. Bundle them up in a lot and sell them and make room for more good stuff. How many...

I think if I were in the buisness of selling dueces, I'd pick up as much of the residue as possible for parts or rebuild.

Yes, unlike a Jeep, I can see a duece in every driveway!!

When the MVPA held thier convention at Ft. Indiantown Gap there was a field with 400 or so in it. One of the vendors said they were his and he was going to start proccessing them shortly. Many still had charge in the batteries. We all dreamed of driving one (or two !!) away.

Wonder if anyone has those bid catalogues that DMRO used to send out. I remember seeing CCKW's in them.

Yeah, he has a notion he's sitting on a virtual gold mine.

Probably just like all the vehicle series ever surplused, think of how many of them got lost (lost paperwork etc.).

Or install new wiper assy's ??

GL is offering these trailers right now. (Use "Utility" for the search). How would you use a trailer such as this?? Looks like thier should be some kind of container on the rails or between the rails but thier to narrow for regular Conex's.

Interesting thought. But would'nt they want to be able to tow a trailer also to carry spares and such??

It has been said that "if it casts a shadow, it is restorable" !!

And to think that most of these residue trucks are from depot level where they don't want to buy new parts so they remove parts off of trucks to rebuild others. Probably, or just supposing, the residue trucks were probably good running trucks just in the "wrong place at the wrong time".

How do they do European surplus sales today?? Does GL do it??

Last year, there was some postings about GL seeking a bidder that would be able to inventory 100's of trucks at one time. There was quite a discussion on this topic and GL even posted special bid forms for thes sales. Did anything ever become of this topic?? We don't see or have heard of anyone...

How about the free bunches of grapes and peanuts that a couple of vendors handed out !!!! Last year one gave out free apples !!

I would think a couple of D-8 Dozers (growzerless tracks) would do it since tanks roll fairly easily if the track(s) aren't frozen however can you imagine the permits needed especially if there's a bridge or two involved. Then there would be insurance but thats a minor issue, the biggest would...
