I went to see my friend as he is into military vehicles about getting some pointers on buying a truck. So we looked around his "motor pool" and at some of his trucks. He is not a commercial seller of trucks but does trade, buy, sell and part stuff out.

These pics do NOT show all of his stuff or the shop, where he has I think a '51 that is in real nice shape he is working on.

So took some pics and thought you guys would enjoy.

there were at least three more around the corner including a nice A3 with winch. A 818 tractor with van, and a bunch f trailers. if you look at the pic from the street there are 4 rows of trucks. the clambshell 5 ton is on one end and it was packed full of tools when he go it.

I saw at least 3 multifuel engines in the shop on stands, plus tires and and such. He even gave his Daughter one for a birthday present a 109 van and she drove back south herself.

It was like a candy store to go wading through and he gave me some tips about what to look for on a truck when bidding.

It's been a long time since I drove a 5 ton, I forgot how big the 900 series are. That makes for one mean bobbed truck. But I got a couple of other ideas too. And he has at least 1 more sitting at GL to pick up.
