Oh, and if you are thinking that I at least performed an inspection before bidding..... Rick

Despite the good advise, warnings and predictions from the experienced, the sages and from naysayers, I placed myself squarely in the Netherlands of 1st Deuce Purgatory. Many forum contributors recommend 1st truck purchases be from from private parties. I did not. Alot of the good people...

I'm with Hey Sues: What is the procedure and is the Border Patrol performing any special "considerations" regarding your vehicle? Rick

I was told to go elsewhere by Grundy. They said they found out some of y'all was taking your 6x6 trucks off road. Guess they didn't check what 6x6 meant. Rick

Hi BFR, Don't know if you know, but FedEx, DHL and UPS will open an account for you and perform pick-up delivery services. If you occasionally need shipping, you will like the ease of service. Cheers, Rick

Thanks! I'm excited to be a part of the scene and no longer on the sidelines. Rick

Uh-oh, guess I need to get my credit card fixed.

Thanks Jake, I'll PM you with the data. Rick

Jake, I just won a truck at Ft. Meade. You have an interest in going in and giving me your assessment and opinion on the thing? Rick

Congrats! That is a lot of truck you got there. I'll be the first to ask for pics (without utilizing the annoying emoticon) so we can get a glimpse of the drive train that was fitted, making it an "E3". Anyone have data on these beasts? Is it the same drive train as the M35A3's (Cat/Allison)...

I thought about your question. It seems to me that I don't have to justify my desires to myself. I have to do it for others: to explain to someone else why I buy trucks. It all got easier with my wife when I started telling the truth. I had been trying to create "reasons" for justifying a...

Yep, and good ones at that! Click on "Resources" located in the menu bar at the top of each page. Classifieds are in the drop down menu, in addition to the technical materials. I saw another winch "kit" advertised for about the same price a month or so ago...

Duece Winch For Sale Complete - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite Looked in the classifieds for ya.

I recall the ad said it was fairly late model: 1992 or so. Maybe it was refitted? Rick

emmado, Chicken or egg question: Is the NSN a description of the traits of a truck used for classification purposes or is the NSN the orders given to the manufacturer describing the characteristics of the truck to be built? Sorry if my newbness is running high at the moment. Rick

jt, Have you driven both sprag and shifted trucks? Besides having the confidence of controlling the shift, does it make a difference for usage? Rick

Hi, I have a few questions for y'all in comparing the following information on a couple of trucks: NSN# 2320009260875, Acquisition Value: $82,645 (F7: Unservicable/Reparable) NSN# 2320009260873, Acquisition Value: $56,832 (FX: Serviceable/Reparable/Salvage) 1) Is it possible to...

True confessions..... Oh man, that brings back memories. My dad ribbed me for about 30 years for pissing on his Hemi valve covers. The acids in my pee ruined the chrome! :roll: He was storing a project motor for his '53 DeSoto in a closet out in the garage. I was about the same age as your...

Hi! As a newby, I am very interested in this thread, as the subject is exactly what I am encountering in my search for my first truck. As an active buyer, I look to GL because I cannot imagine that any private party seller can justify the $2-6k premium I see on trucks in the SS classifieds...

Ouch....... and guilty.
