We might ask the Durhamtown management if we could have a wash area at our location......may have to have them dig a sump for the runoff and then cover it up when we leave. They have a bobcat so it may not be a prob for them to do. They are real good about doing stuff for us.
Those look like they have been there a while.
I wonder if the owner went after a power unit.
It would be interesting to mate the front of a M915 to one of those.:shock:
The average price on the first lot was $15,000.00 each.
Considering the gooberment paid around $180,000.00 a pop for the MK48/14 combination that was a steal.
If you can't afford between 12K and 20k for one plus buyers premium and tax and shipping you are prob barking up the wrong MV.
We...
The temp while we were there was actually cooler than in Alabama but the humidity was killer.
If the breeze is blowing and you can find some shade you can cool down, otherwise you roast.
By 9 am on the first day I was soaking wet with sweat and was glad to get back to FOB Holiday Inn to cool...
Glen.......if you bring trade goods you can prob pay for your trip out.
Plenty of room in the Vendors Area for you.
There is already a thread for the rally and another for stuff folks are bringing.
Maybe Bighurt would hook up with you and convoy out. He's been threatening to come to the...

Zip tie the lights and wire on to use them and if you want to tow it with an MV just remove and store the magnetic ones.
Long time no see man.
Do you have a truck yet?
My M927 is for sale and if you put a S280 shelter in the back you would have 8 feet of "back porch" behind the shelter.
Did you try J.C. Whitney....they sell a lot of REPOP sheet metal parts for various vehicles. Your Search Results - JCWhitney
You can also check the advertisers in antique and custom truck magazines.
The M915's with the CAT tranny would run 75 MPH at 2100 RPM......a little better if the fuel was turned up.
Unless they changed the rears when they installed the Allisons the transmission is what's holding the truck back.
I don't know how hard it would be to put in a ten-speed Road Ranger in...
You can PM me for our rates.
We are contract labor to get vehicles assembled and loaded only.
Shipping has a lot of varibles and you have to find your own shipper.
Andy1234 set up the shipping for three trucks through Landstar (Stanley Crawford 757-859-6575 )
He was a good guy to work...
We pulled two deuces on the M872 trailers when we went to NTC in CA.
We had to remove the tarps, bows and troop seats, exhaust stack and lower the windshield.
To pull one without lowering the silhouette you need a lowboy or stepdeck.
It was great to meet another SS member (Tracy) and assist with his recovery.
I now have two wreckers holding down the sod in my backyard.
He has been invited (warned about) the GA Rally......we hope to see his new prize there this year.

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo:
Keep this in mind (if you've read it before bear with me).
DO NOT send a regular flat bed to pick up these units.
A stepdeck or RGN is what is needed.
Also these last units were sold with the heavy trailers......gross weight is 45,000 or better.
Your shipper may have to buy...
