Nice grab. Winch, hardtop, turbo, good mirrors, etc.

Is it an air shift?

What's up with the headlights? Has this truck been canibalized?
Some fender damage on the driver side front and the headlight on the passenger side is missing.

I will know more when I inspect it in a week or so.

Looks to be a really good buy. Airshift front axle.

With so many trucks going at 1 time in 1 place, it looks like prices were right. I got another M35 (why) for $940 in Richmond. At least I hope that's what it is... the listing said M813 2.5 ton and the pics were of deuce. I suppose I can negotiate? :D

I went to Norman today.

Great people. Took me out to the truck in a Gator. Nice, really nice, MSgt. with 36 years time did the tour. Said they had 93 trucks in the auction, Memphis bought 19.

Truck started on just a smidgen of starter. Missing headlight with a dent in the driver's side front fender the only problems.

I will come back in a few weeks and drive it home. :D

I figured this one to be an orphan with the headlight and fender problems.

I noticed in bidding that one buyer was consistently over bidding me. Turns out to be Memphis.

So, I put in a bid on the one with the obvious damage. Bingo!

Got lucky, I guess. :)

Congrats on the truck. Do you expect your EUC soon? Why is Guard personnel handling GL auction items? What is the bidder number for Memphis?

I expect it soon. I did not copy the bidder number for Memphis.

The storage lot is on a Guard base.

Norman is the main repair place for the OKNG. They are great poeple to deal with. GL works it from the OKC air base. They just don't move all the stuff Tinker if they don't have too. Jefferson MO is the same way. For pick ups you deal with the NG.

Good score on the winch truck!


My EUC for the truck I won in that sale came back yesterday......9 business days.
