Ditto on the above....I had a chance to get one a few years ago and passed....I told David Doyle about it and he snagged it before the ink dried on the PM.
You might consider bucket seats out of a small car.
I had good luck putting Neon buckets in my old M109......since you have to fab the mouting you can set it to your needs.
I saw them drop a deuce out of a C-130 one time and the chute didn't open.....it was easily transported back to the Motor Pool....in three other trucks.:shock:
Seriously....I have never heard of this type vehicle...can you post pics???
BII...Basic Issue Items... hand tools, snatch blocks, chains, towbars, spades, welding equipment, etc...a wrecker is issued with a couple of thousand bucks worth of equipment on it.
They are money pits....very cool money pits.......but money pits never the less.
Unless you can write them off as a business expense you will prob never break even.
My big issue was insurance.......$750.00 a year and I could not tow anything with it (my stuff or anyone elses).

We ask that folk let us know if they are going to eat certain meals with us (steak night on Sat.) so we won't run short (we use a sign up sheet).
Mike and I have been lucky in pre-planning meals.......but even if we have leftovers the chow hounds usually police it up the next day (chili-mac...

I thought I had two extra sets to sell but I just got off the phone with Jr. and he...
I installed the air ride seats I got from my buddy into the M915 today.
The old seats are already in the van and will be on the block if anyone is interested......might make an interesting upgrade to a deuce or 5 ton or for a custom fab job. The passenger seat has a neat tool box under it...
I am preping the M915 for it's voyage to the GA Rally.
Fixed the air dryer, windshield wipers and installed the air ride seats.
These seats came from some Freightliner cabs my buddy bought from GL Redstone.
I will have some at the GA Rally for sale (I hope).
The install went fairly easy...

We had "Star Wars".....the Ruskies had stuff like this.
We bankrupted them by keeping them caught up in an arms race they could not win.
Buying a vehicle without a title is like giving a monkey a hand grenade....you are setting yourself up for a lot of problems....there is a reason why the party is selling it so cheap.
