Visit to Eastern surplus

[GM72K10]

Visited and bought a complete CUCV bed from Eastern Surplus today. Very good experience with the salesman named Caswell. Luckily went with the M1028a1. Had to pull a deuce out of a snowbank first (bed was in back of truck and truck didn't run) . Wonder when or if my truck ever did that before. Note: M1028a1 could NOT pull deuce with deuce emergency brake set.
Professional shop and obviously not just a hobby but a business. Lots of the BIG MVs.
Not cheap but fair price, good bed.
thanks Dave & Caswell.

I like the look of the bed flipped on the other bed...would make for an interesting looking shelter...LOL

Wait.....You had to pull a deuce out of a snow bank. Couldn,t Dave use one of his many BIG trucks to move it. I would be afraid of breaking something.

Glad you got a good bed Gerry.

I'm making a trip down there in March while i'm in NYC, do you think they would let me tour their inventory?

Ive spoken with Caswell Many times over the phone on many orders from Eastern. seems like a real good guy. Eastern is one of the top places i buy parts from. I'd buy bigger stuff from them but shipping out here to cali is killer....

Randy,
The snow wasn't that deep! I'm sure he could have pulled it out but I offered. Doubled the chain up from my pintle to the deuce's front winch hook. Towed it out in 4wd low. No problem!
