My first time as a vendor and I will say it is a great show. Lots of great folks willing to help out. Thanks! I have been to several swap meets and it is the first time I felt valued as a vendor. See you all tomorrow!

Bringing: M35 cab with many parts, driver’s seat, dash , windsheild frame, torque rods, M105 Trailer (if someone shows interest) Whistler Turbo, M35 Radiator, M35 generator, Bobber spring kit (M35 front springs) , CUCV parts, dash stuff, visors, Slave receptacles, blackout lights, Hydroboost...

I'm trying to decide what to bring! Bigger stuff like M35 cabs and M105 trailer are a bit of a pain. We'll see how much I can get organized this week :jumpin: I'm excited for the weekend. Bump for less than a week to go!

I'm really looking forward to it! I have some stuff to vend and I'm looking for parts too. I'm happy to hear that EMR has the forklift. I have a couple axle assemblies that I certainly can't lift! I'm excited to meet some of you guys. -John

Is there a specific thread for the MTA "Sussex" show? I saw some of the old ones but couldn't find a 2012 version. It's my first time going so I was hoping gather some info.

I stubled upon this thread. Interesting points on value. I'd have to say that most of the east coast CUCV auction trucks are way overpriced. I don't think buyers realize what you need to put them into decent condition. Also, on more than one occasion I have gotten trucks that were more...

If you don't mind, which product code did you get? They have a boatload of different types. I think I need a bucket of them ;-)

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping haggarty hooks me up since I have a Jeep with them already. I don't know if I'll be able to get plates until she gets paint though. My M35 looks a bit rough.

Bringing this back up. I'll be registering in PA. Looks like I'm going to go with an antique plate. I can't justify the cost of a commerical plate and insurance for the few times that I'll haul something. I have another vehicle with antique plates, but I never tow or haul cargo with it... I...

Bump. I talked to Geico about adding my M35A2 (stock) to my policy and was quoted $500/yr with no restriction. They did say it would be evaluated at next renewal which probably means they would drop coverage. I plan to check with Hagarty since I have my little Jeep CJ registered with them...

Stinks. I couldn't help but wonder if it was because it was the cheapest out of the group of 8 or so that were closing that day. But, I doubt the gov't cares what they get for surplus items. Maybe GL, but not the actual gov't.

That's what the GL person said too. It was for an M35A2. I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks.

I was notified today, after I won an auction and already sent in my EUC that the lot was pulled. What the heck! I was really bummed. GL empolyee told me it was very rare, but I'm guessing it is not as rare as they make it out to be.

Looks like something I would do. [thumbzup] I have broken lots of beads with the highlift but never a duece tire. Looking fwd to seeing how that new rubber goes on for you, I'd like to try the same thing.

No progress on mine...still on my to-do list. :roll:
