Thanks a lot guys. I thought it was looked pretty clean myself, especially the engine bay. I've actually seen it in person from a distance (drove past it many times) and I know exactly where it is since I was stationed at that base, and I always wondered to myself if they were going to auction...

Without inspecting it myself or having someone who really knows what they're looking for inspect it, I think I'll have to pass. My friend won't know what to look for when it comes to the cannibalization issue, and I don't think I'm willing to chance it. Looks like the late bidding is starting...

:lol: I'm wondering myself if she'll be willing to crawl underneath the truck and get dirty a little bit. I think it's a toss up - could go either way. I'll have her call me while she's checking it out so I can guide her a little. I suppose if it's raining or wet there she probably won't be...

I'm having a friend inspect a gov't surplus M1009 this week, and I'm making a checklist for her since she's not all that familiar with these vehicles. Here's what I've got so far: BODY *Floors on inside and underneath *Quarter panels (outside and behind) *Rocker panels *Underneath tailgate &...

Hey BKinzey, if you would, please let us know how Rust Bullet works out for you. I'm dying to know if the hype is true. :D

EDIT: Double post

I believe the price difference is due to the fact that Tom (the owner of Alfa Heaven) takes the military versions of his trucks and gives them a fresh CARC paint job, while with the civilian versions he does not repaint them.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Tom is referring to the XM880's listed on the Alfa Heaven website. On there an XM880 is listed as having power steering (and are only civilian versions), while the regular M880's do not. That's the only difference I've noticed when it comes to Alfa Heaven's...

Nope. Didn't find one I liked for the price I want to pay at the moment. Too picky I guess, but I have no problem holding out for now. I picked up a car for the time being (even though I'm not a fan of cars), so I'll go back on the hunt for trucks once I'm done with school next year.

Cool. This one looks pretty nice, but it's on ebay and I have no way of inspecting it before the auction ends in 3 hours. It's no reserve and the bid is at $3050 right now. Doesn't seem too bad considering how it looks. The seller says there is no rust or bondo anywhere or any mechanical...

I stumbled across a 1985 Dodge W350 crew cab and I'm wondering if it is possible that this is an ex-military truck? The owner claims it is, and I ran a Carfax on it and it's DMV history doesn't begin until 11/12/2002. It looks like it's been redone (have only seen pictures), has a new paint...

Sounds good. Thanks again Jimmy, I really appreciate your help! Jason

Cool! Yeah just let me know what kind of shape it's in if he's able to look at it. I'd LOVE to buy it and have it shipped here if it's a good truck, especially since everything I've seen around here so far has been really expensive. I agree, it looks good in the pics, so hopefully it's just...

I actually saw that auction and posted it in the ebay section. It looks pretty darn nice, and somebody whol lives down there is taking a look at it for me before the auction ends, so if it's as nice as it looks and is described, I'm going to try and win the auction. We'll see what happens!
