Thanks for the compliments, fellows.
As far as the truck running, that's only a fraction of what could be wrong with the truck. I've had to replace/repair more than one motor, clutch, transmission, transfer case, Sprag and loads of other stuff. Sometimes multiple major problems on a truck. I did note in the pics a unique method of mounting the heater. Instead of mounting plates, it appears to be bolted to the fender splash pan. I didn't see where the air inlet is located. Since NJ wouldn't accept GL's paperwork to get a title, none of GL's trucks are worth more then scrap/parts to me. I always got clean paperwork from DRMO and didn't have to deal with Buyers Fees and double sales tax. Back then, I'd land as many as twelve trucks on a sale. In recent times, I was lucky to get one or two and paid too much for them, considering repair costs.
As for the DRMO trucks in the nineties, I only encountered one truck with a major problem, a froze motor. Only one base that I went to allowed starting the trucks, this one came from McGuire and I couldn't try a start. Once in a while I'd have to replace an alternator, glass or do seat repairs, but I could drive most home.
It's my understanding that the government gets 80% of the sale price, plus the amount GL originally paid.
