Oops... guess I bought a deuce by accident

[Mark3395]

Yep, didn't mean to, but got it. Last week's aution 4737, '87 AF 35A2C, item 6008 at Warner Robbins.

I actually meant to just get the thing listed at the top of my bid page so I could keep an eye on it as I got more serious about a shop equipment set... Decided to let both go.

But drat... I won the thing for an embarassingly low price. Now the question is: why?

The pics look generally OK... clevises removed so so I it was possibly towed in, minor head gasket seep at the usual place (can't tell contract date on the White engine). Here's my goofy question: Was anybody out there diligent enough to make some notes on this truck? What's it look like?

I'll be driving it 900 miles home later this month if all goes well. Likely in conjunction with another truck, so we'll have self-recovery ability.

Poop. I should stick to candy bars for impulse buys.

candy bars aren't near as fun though

hey, if you really don't want it, just drop it off at my place on your way by.

If you really want to part with it send me a PM and maybe you can drop it off in western NC on your way home...

Mark I'm only home on weekends, but if you happen to need any help around a weekend getting it loaded or anything else drop me a line. I live just around the corner from your truck and have access to lots of tools. Be glad to be of any help that I can.

Hey, I won THREE doing something similar to that.

 

[Mark3395]

Well, it's great to know that I can drop it off someplace.

And it's great to know that I'm not the only one to find himself the surprised winner.

Peepaw, I certainly appreciate your offer to help. I'll be sure to contact you if I'm there on a weekend you'll be around.

Do you know of another SSer who will be visting WR in the next couple weeks? Perhaps he could take a look at it to see if I need to bring anything simple down... like an engine.

I'll be calling the yard next week and will try to get some info on it, but it's so large that I doubt they'll know anything.

I need to be at Ft. Benning starting about the 18th and will pick up a 109 that Troy is fixing at Papabear's shop. Should give me time to get over there.

What fun.
