2320 - Trucks & Truck Tractors, Wheeled at Government Liquidation

I know they dont have winches which puts a lil tear in my eye, but otherwise what do you all think of them? Also are these babies turbo or non turbo? Im going from Ft Riley to Oak Grove any hints or tips? Thanks

Trucks look great!!! Nice tires and engines

 

[JustinP]

think i can save the money and just drive them back to my place roughly 150 miles away? im a total noob when it comes to buying from an auction like this lol

thanks so much for the responses!

Lookin good!

 

[SixSpeed]

Looks good! I wouldn't hesitate to drive them back if they check out alright. 150 miles isn't far.

Welcome to SS and OD Addiction Justin!

Congrats on the Twins! You really went off the deep end!!

If it is only 150 miles, take a road trip and see what you got to work with. Check both trucks over completely and see what you have. You can get a list of needs and start compiling them, for the ULTIMATE road trip. If you do a search, you can get several lists and things to check on for a recovery.

Fair Warning, no pics of the recovery and you will be flamed!

Good Luck!

Both are turbo trucks. Check the body on that shopvan, make sure the circus clowns at GL didn't just sit it on there.

Congrats on having twins

nice set of twins... I dont think you got hurt, I agree check that van body and make sure she is bolted down. other than that pillows for your butt,although 150 miles isnt to bad

 

[roscoe]

One of each. That should keep things interesting. I'd drive over and check them out while your waiting on your EUC. Check fluids, brakes, leaks ect.

Has that actually happened to anyone here before? I've found all kinds of loose parts before...but a loose shop van body...yikes! That would make for a VERY bad day.

hey look good shopvan dosent have air shift old style. looks like wheel cyl. on front of cargo is leaking just bring extra brake fluid

 

[JustinP]

yea i noticed that the tire looks to have something on it, do you guys think it would make 150 miles with a leak like that or would i need to do a rebuild someplace close?
