John, I am not sure where to suggest you look. I would think the big dealers like Memphis will have it. Unfortunately, as you know, there are almost no A2 parts trucks from what I have been able to gather. The A2 specific exhaust and air intake parts are almost non-existent in the surplus...
Randy, thanks for your perspective. Often, this list is missing the perspective of the actual user as most of us have never served and used these vehicles in the service.
DCWILKIE, not sure if you know this, but it is against site rules to mention any upcoming or ongoing auction. I suggest you edit your post or else a moderator will.
There really is almost nothing in common between the M44A3 and the M939A2 series. They are almost completely different. Sure, there are commonalities...reflectors, composite lights, head lights, side marker lights, doors...and probably a few more. Name something else and it is different. I am...
GE...you are right...everything must go "within reason." If the guy was getting $4K previously and took $2500 now, that would seem to be fire sale pricing. A fire sale does not mean the guy has to sell the truck for a grand when he paid more. I can almost guarantee you he did pay more because...
It only makes sense that they will want more than they paid at auction. Think back to the auctions in MD and DE. This guy was buying everything up and paying reasonable prices. I remember seeing the same bidder # winning truck after truck. So, figure he paid $1,500 per truck. Do the math...
Not sure what to tell you other than you have a really unique truck there. That M109 has the older style horizontal exhaust. That is not common at all anymore. Nothing bad about it...just more rare. Good luck!
I am guessing the NHC250 does not weigh 3,200 pounds as specified above, although I am not sure. Perhaps, the poster above is correct. The engine can for a 6.2 liter motor is over 600 pounds empty. The engine can for an NHC250 would have to weigh 1,000 pounds or so. That would mean there is...
It really depends upon the outcome you expect. Do you want a show quality finish? If so, then metal is really the only option. Do you want it to look motorpool? Fiberglass/bondo and pop-riveted patches (as stated by ACEHIGH) is acceptable. I have seen some really shoddy military rust...
Lane, I would think they would let you back out. They probably ought to give you the truck in the pictures, but the guy who bid on the other truck will demand that one because it is probably nicer. I think your only recourse is to get a refund. This one goes down as "GL Terrible Business...
I saw this thread and thought of offering my M35A3 for sale and then got cold feet because I do not want to lose my a$$ on it. I have over $11K in it. However, a truck-related repair bill necessitates my selling this truck. Here are the details:
*$8,100 (price)
*$810 (10% bidder's fee)...
One of the most frequently overlooked expenses to buying a truck is shipping. Most guys never factor that in. If they did, they probably would not even bid on the truck that they won. The reason...most guys don't figure that is a real cost to buying a truck and, if they factored in, their...
