I just got the call...
My bid WON the following:
Here's what the ad said:
1- 2.5 Ton 1968 AM General Truck
Vin#032513579
6X6 Wheel Drive Military Truck
Cab and Chasssis Only, No Bed
Extra Engine Goes With It
Some Extra Parts
So, I bid low at $756.32 and WON (The only other bid was $325.00), so the County Commissioners couldn't reject mine for low-balling!
She's a recently retired Fire Truck that starts at the lightest touch of the starter button (you never hear her crank, she just starts running)
The Fire Department upgraded to an M35A3, so they reitred her and flipped the brush-truck bed to the A3.
The A3 bed is available to me (see the other thread I started on its recovery).
I WILL POST PICS ASAP - - please be patient!!!
The extra engine is a rebuilt - still in the can - Multi-Fuel missing only the starter and Injector Pump which were consumed as spares on the Deuce I won.
The parts are in boxes, and I haven't inventoried them yet.
The truck has a HISTORY too! I'll post those details soon.
If all works out, I'll recover the Deuce, Bed, Engine and Parts in a single trip within a week.
STAY TUNED for EXCITING UPDATES
PS: THIS is one win that I have every confidence will be a DRIVE HOME recovery.
WHAT?!? $756.32 Won EVERYTHING!
someone pass the bbq sauce, i'm eating my heart out!
