    Optimus Prime...HET M1070

    Introduction in order. We purchased a 1994 HET M1070 just recently. It took some logistics getting it here but we eventually got all that taken care of. We put "Optimus Prime" in a "parade" last weekend and a car-show. We had a great time talking to many people. There was a local army vet...

    Transporting M1070 from Reno, NV to Eastern MT.

    The trip was good. Just...Limited on time. The truck drives great and is very comfortable. Yes it was very warm...but I figured since I can why not ship it...besides I'll save the miles on the road for MT. The only problem I noticed was there was a braided hose hanging down from the...

    Hello folks...just picked up a M1070. I had every intent of driving the truck all the way to Eastern MT. Was wondering if any of you folks know of a RGN or Lowboy in the Reno Area that can transport an HET up to the great state of MT.
