Opportunity knocks***

[General Mcgregor]

Hello guys, I need some advice. I have a chance to pick up a complete M66 gun ring with cab re-enforcing plate. I know they are hard to come by and passing it up would probably be a sin, but the holidays are coming and I don't know if I can justify the purchase. I won't say exactly how much I will be paying for it but I will say that is FAR below value. I have a hard top M35A2 that it will be mounted on, the guy is also willing to throw in a soft top kit if I pay him what he's asking. I don't know how long this deal will last so I want to jump on it. Please respond with your thoughts!!

You said it, so it must be in the back of your mind "I don't know if I can justify the purchase "

If spending the money won't interfere with your other expenses than go for it. If you will have to rob Peter to pay Paul, then let it go. No deal is that great if you don't have the money.

I agree with the above....take it from someone who has spent way too much on Green Iron.

If you have disposable income go for it. A complete kit is hard to find but you have to weigh that against responsibilities.

It seems that deals like this always pop up during Christmas.

How hard to find? Does the M66 Show up alot or is it once in a blue moon? I've been told that most were removed then destroyed before the MV is sold to the public.

Once in a very very very blue moon.

If the whole thing is under $800 I would resort to a credit card cash advance at 22% to score it.

It's around that much!

You could always do like my Dad did when I was young and was REALLY looking forward to getting a special present for Christmas...and he was broke.

On Christmas Eve Night he would take his shotgun outside and fire it in the air....then yell.. "OH MY GOODNESS"!!!!! "I've killed Santa Claus"!!!

We always hoped he would miss!!!

Wanna make a fast $200?

Yeah! What he said.

disclaimer: never bite off more than you can chew.

Im with AceHigh, Buy and resell if you have to. If its that low you should be able to re-sell pretty quik.

 

[5ton4ever]

Just buy it and tell the wife it's for her! besides, you need one. If you don't want it I will take it.

Well, i'll go against the crowd. I had a complete kit, a spare ring, and 32 of the reinforcement plates. I had about 1K in it all. I was really ready to install it till I actually saw how massive the M66 ring is. My dropside cab is perfect and I just couldn't see risking cracking it. (yeah, I know it shouldn't crack with the plate-I don't believe it). So I got rid of it all. I would look for a M49 ring if you want one. They are ALOT lighter. Also, neither ring is super rare and I would say 1K max for either.

I wish I had the money for the 1500 dollar one that was posted a few weeks ago, I know I could have got it.

 

[lonegunman]

Well what is he asking? If you are not interested would you be willing to let a nice guy like me for instance pay the asking price, shipping and some cash for your labor to get it shipped west?

This line is guarenteed to work. " Look at what I bought YOU for Christmas honey." She will love you for it.

 

[General Mcgregor]

Fortunately I won't be disappointing any children on Christmas morning, but the wife is another story!

 

[jime]

I bought one with two sets of legs (no, I don't know why it had two sets) for $1K about 6mos ago. I see them advertized for much more but kinda stumbled on this one. It seems they come up from time to time at this price, but finding one at this price later, when your looking to install one, could be a challenge. Get it if you can swing it!

 

[maudoose]

Buy It!
You can always sell it to one of us!
