AM General will not give you the time of day......they are too busy fleecing the gooberment.
There are several members on here that may have parts trucks.
The M915's have a VIN plate......replacing that one might get you a stay in the "Greybar Motel".
Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo:
If you are in AMGENERALS neighborhood look him up.....he is a good troop and has a wealth of knowledge about deuces and other MV critters.
He attends the GA Rally every year.......come on down and join then madness in Oct.
Bet they'll stay out there......unless they are given to some law enforcement agency or put out on a range as a target.
That makes a lot more sense than selling them to collectors and using the money to offset the deficit.:roll::roll:
KY is a big state....how about an exact grid square and the route you will be taking (got to get the wimen and younguns off the street).
If I can find an excuse I may head up that way.
I thought I had made pics when I did the fab work but if I did they are lost in cyberspace.

If I have aquired another M915 by then I'll be bringing the big van trailer.....loaded with trade goods.
