For sale in New Mexico

[dc3coyote]

Man that is out side my pirce range, I have been leaning toward a crane truck of some sort maybe a m108

 

[dc3coyote]

Thats what I was thinkin about doing to the M123

 

[area52]

I've tried a couple of times to get a hold of the guy via phone# but its out of service. If anyone gets a hold of the guy selling this truck, find out where exactly it is and I might be able to go look at.

I am not in the running to buy it but if some one does, you are more than welcome to store it at my place.

I'll second the offer from Area52, as I'm in Roswell. If the truck is going west, Area52 would be a good resting point. If the truck is goiing south or east, Roswell would be a good resting point.

I will try and contact him in the morning. He did give me another number, I just need to find it now. Time to clean the desk!!!

Update:

Got a hold of the guy selling this truck. Says it runs good but needs an upper radiator hose to take it on the road.

Its located in Dulce (say Dull-say) which is about 1 1/2 hours normal drive from me in a regual car and about 2 1/2 hours in this truck. If anyone is really serious about buying this, pm me if you want me to go look at it.

 

[jwaller]

I'm going to call him tomorrow and if he is willing to play ball I'll have you go look at it for me.

 

[ktm380]

Great!! Keep us updated.

 

[area52]

Update:

The owner of this truck called me to see if I was gonna look at it (I told him last week I might go look at it if I was not busy this weekend, I was). He sounded like he wanted to sell it but I didn't ask how low he would go, just said I might be able to go look at it sometime soon.

Anybody interested in it?

RE: GETTING CUT!!

Another soldier lost because of lack of a buyer. Sigh. Maybe next time we can do a group buy or something to save her...

 

[bulldog_mack13]

I can get it it i can see pictures and if its road worthy!

 

[bulldog_mack13]

Dang ill buy her! Still hate threats of , "sell it or scrap soon" . Did he scrap it yet!???

 

[yellowk20]

I live in southern new mexico.....or rather I have a house and property would be happy to store free of charge

 

[jwaller]

Well I just did something I shouldn't have. Called the owner this am and bought the truck. So I saved this one. Now I just gotta find the $$$ for it and find a way to get it home. only 1750 miles.

 

[No.2Diesel]

Thank you Jwaller... Saving that truck is a big commitment.

Does your M270A1 have the capacity to haul it? Its just a cab & chassis but still a considerable weight.

 

[FreightTrain]

see if there is a shortline railroad near by and ship it via rail.Load and Unload via shortline.Most of them are still non union and you won't have to hire union workers to do this like with CSXT.Maybe someone is shipping a vehicle cross country too.If you can find someone with 2 more smaller 6x6s then you could get a 89foot flat bed and share it.The railroad charges by the carload not the actual freight weight.Whether it be a 25 foot or car or a 100 foot flat car. ....or they did several years ago.

 

[bulldog_mack13]

You can keep her at my place as long as you need too. I wanted to buy it , but ill keep a good watch over her.

 

[topo]

Great save . I'm about 100 miles from Dulce and can help getting your truck ready to ship . I know these trucks are wide but I don't know how wide . I have a compresser and tools and a m269 wrecker low boy with beaver tail with ramps if needed .kenny

Don't know if Las Cruces is any benefit, but you can store it at my place.

Plus if someone on the east coast buys my 2 M109's they would all fit on the same rail car........
