Why are there no Marine trucks on GL? Are they sold elsewhere?

They don't have enough to sell any and the rest are on a ship somewhere. 
I thougt the same thing, but I suppose the Marines transportation fleet is a fraction the size of the Army so you would see less. Also I am sure there are difefrent GL sites that Marine equipment would be more likely sold at than others.
I just buy the Army trucks and enlist them in the Marine corps. Stencils are wonderful!!!

I thought the Marines had standards and would not taken previous service members? Too hard to untrain all their bad habits

Army vets believe that Marine trucks do get surplussed out, but they usually have their controller memories removed before they get surplussed. Actually, the memory is removed prior to field service as well.

My M109 is a USMC truck. Westy had a USMC 813. You just gotta look harder.

We do have standards and often bring in other services. However, we mostly bring them in as Privates and stick them in the mess hall!I thought the Marines had standards and would not taken previous service members? Too hard to untrain all their bad habits

Research where the marine corp logistic bases are as they occasionally will list vehicles on GL.

Why the fuss about the truck being a Marine truck anyway? The trucks are similar to Army iron surely and there would be a larger pool of trucks to pick from if you went the Army Strong way.

Ain't
Really
Marines
Yet
Also, I think the Marine Corps 2 1/2-tons has Detroit lockers in their rears, too, to aid in amphibious beach landings with sandy conditions.
Because they are rode hard and put up wet (in salt water). And the Marines don't konw any more about maintenance than the typical African hellhole.
Best bet for condiiton and well maintained is AirFarce. Don't take them off paved roads or out of the Hilton parking lot. Well maintained by an outfit that is pretty anal about equipment working when it's 50000ft up. Next choice then Seebee stuff, National Guard then Army reserve, Here in Iowa much of the NG vehicles at issue to units is garaged.

Not quite true. Out of all the 5 ton trucks at MCLB Albany, only about half have lockers. There's usually a data plate on the glove box door or on the driver's door.

If you see what appears to be two big paper clips welded to the front bumper of a deuce or five ton you may have a Marine truck.
The were put there to make it easier to sling load them onto ships.

Air Force trucks are usually cherry. Mostly stored inside, well maintained.

Mine has the paperclips on the front bumper so it may have been USMC but the ARMY had it last.
