Well, got a little over-excited as a new bidder on GL bidding and ended up with an M35A2 at Camp Dodge, Johnston, Iowa, and another one at Jacksonville (Little Rock) Arkansas from the same auction. Now I just have to get them back to western Colorado. Any info on the sites or anybody who can give the trucks a lookover would be greatly appreciated. The Arkansas truck is 3962/7917. Has dead batteries and a flat tire, would help if I knew which one and how bad it looks. Vehicle has a spare on board. The Iowa truck is 3962/7508, only had two exterior pictures, but looks to be in good shape, drove onto lot. The logistics of all this looks a little daunting. This will be my 2d and 3d M35A2s and hopefully not my next divorce! Thanks for any help/info!
Ross,
Thanks. You never know what may happen, but it's usually when you least expect it. We had the compressor go out, shredding the belt in the process, while approaching Wichita when my brother and I brought my first deuce back from Oklahoma. He's the more mechanically minded one, I'd probably still be sitting by the highway! My brother is great at figuring things out. Hope to have him along on these recoveries if we can swing it. But I learn a little more each time, and it's a lot of fun in the process. Can you email me a phone number or some other way to get in contact if something does happen?

you might want to try shipping one of them at least. Jacksonville is a Air Force base and they usually have a bit better condition trucks when they come up for auction. I usually use www.uship.com when im shipping strange MV related things. wish i could help more but im far away. I could give your wife my wifes number so she can have someone who will agree with what an idiot you are. Mine hates this hobby. I think she would rather me be on drugs.
Arkansas and Iowa recovery info needed
