No paperwork, but I might be able to lien it and register it green sticker (off road only) or Ag. I really just want a 6x6 for offroad goofing around in my local desert. Legit original military config doesn't really matter to me. However, if it's going to cost a bunch of time and money to get it running, I could use the money from parting it elsewhere.
Body is rusted and dented. Hood, fenders, floor, hardtop, window frames. Front glass is broken.
No bed, rear bumper, or lights. Pintle hitch is broken.
Frame has "un-engineered alterations".
Radiator hole (bottom is so rusty it may need replaced)
All rubber needs replaced (including tires).
I imagine the brake system probably needs major work/replacement, as well as axle boots.
There is no belt on the air compressor. It has belts but they are shorter, as if they intentionally bypassed the compressor. It turns, but either it doesn't work or the air systems leaks badly or something. The gladhands are missing off the back, air lines left open.
I dunno, I will probably continue to tinker with it and see if it runs and go from there. I could do just enough wiring to actuate the starter and trash everything else. Ditch all the sheetmetal below the frame, move the fuel tank up on the back, take the middle 2-3' out of the frame, build a roll bar to make it a stubby little 6x6 off road tractor.
A friend just got a 5 ton for $3500 from auction, what are deuces going for these days?
Thanks
