Pretty ironic considering I don't even "have access" to the truck I won back in August.

It's really quite puzzling. The deuce I just picked up is a 1969, and its gauges are just plain old painted dials and hands. Definitely nothing radioactive about it... and thankfully, it isn't on the list of those needing inspection.

Does anybody have a deuce that has glow in the dark meter dials? I should think that if they were out there, someone would have noticed by now.

Just a wild guess, this has nothing to do with gauges. Nukes or not.

Sorry guys, my last couple of posts don't help and I don't mean to make fun of your situation. I'd be hot too if they had my money and my truck. Again, sorry.

Just another thought, mostly pulled out of my a$$, but pops into my head and rattles around once in a while. I've had opportunity to talk to currently active military personnel who tald me that many, many military vehicles have been, and are still being, sold to certain foreign powers. (hint: middle east). If there is a large contract, could the government be taking a better look at these trucks here in the states to see how many are in good enough condition to be resold? Then ship the good ones away, and release the worse ones that don't have any real value?

I won't take total credit for these thoughts...others have posted similar thoughts...I just wanted to bring up the conversations I've had, giving a bit more info.

If my head is too far up the long, dark tunnel on this, someone please throw me a flashlight so I can find my way out.

Jim

No problem here, if I wasn't one of the guys stuck in the middle of this, I'd probably be looking for the silver lining as well. And some of us (with a big finger pointed at myself) made posts I'm sure we regret, written in the heat of anger right after getting the bad news.

I was (still am) extra flared up because I, too, had the kid on Christmas Eve thing going on for the past 2 months, waiting for my EUC. Then Christmas Morning came and I opened my gift and got the Super Wonder Gizmo I was hoping for (my Invoices came in on Thursday), and was all ready to go play with it. But 24 hours later Mom decided the toy is just too dangerous for me to play with, and took it away.

There is something about going from no EUC, to Paid In Full, to On Hold all within 24 hours that drives blood pressure up.

NH,

FMS or Foreign Military Sales already takes place before they go to GL is my understanding. Those countries find out what's coming out, and can buy or be given them, more or less before we see then. What we see or get access to have been picked over many times before.
