I appreciate all the replies that are informative, either the dealer or the collector. There are lots of good points. I think we can do without the snide remarks though. I was raised old school. I give respect when it is earned. I do not know any of you personally so I have no basis for respect...

Now wait one minute there buddy.............. Joking.......... I know, I have too many toys and want more.....

I feel ya. I was raised to be self sufficient so I haul my own trucks, do my own repairs, etc. I don't source any help so that is how I afford the hobby. Just a little frustrated, not hating on anyone in particular. I just want a 5 ton to ride around in........

Yep

I don't know how to do that ??

This is what I am talking about. Every 5 ton on GL right now is the same exact price......... Someone went on there and bid all the trucks to the same price.....

I know, thanks Cam

I can appreciate all of this. I own two businesses. I just feel like the military stuff is different because we do it to honor the military. Cam

We ran out of space years ago..... dad is retired so he does it all day....... dad has lots of friends to source parts and the knowledge to put things together himself to keep the price lower than typical. Still an expensive hobby..... Racing is too though........

I am partial to it also..... My dad and I built that bed. It gets lots of attention at the parades and shows........

This is not about the bidding price to me. This is about you paying $3000 for a vehicle and then listing it for $6000 before you ever get it. It is my opinion and I will not change that. You are right, you can do whatever you want. That does not mean I will respect or like you for it. Cam

Check it out. Cam The Military page

Your point is what prompted me to post. The people you are talking about buy 14 pallets of wheels just to sell them to others. Guys buy 4 dump trucks and then have them for sale before they ever pick them up at the base. Just frustrated. I have no intention of selling the truck I want so I do...

This makes no sense....... You just proved my point. I want to buy a truck for my personal collection. You want me to not bid so you can buy cheap and then double the price for me to buy the truck from you?

I will do you one better. I race motorcycles but my dad got me in to this when I was a kid. He has been collecting/restoring all his life....... I can only put some of his stuff on the internet...... I dedicated a page to his/my vehicles. The Military page

I have been trying to find a 818 or even a cargo truck for our personal collection. Is anyone that is bidding on the GL stuff using the trucks personally. My dad got me addicted to this stuff and we do not sell anything. If my dad finishes a jeep or truck, he lets guys that are building a...

Good day...........

Thanks, Cam

The # is up a few posts. Any Veteran is welcome to ride in the trucks. Thanks, Cam

Just called Gretchen. She said 11:45-12:00 is line up. Parade starts at 13:00. She would like you to call but it is not mandatory. Thanks, Cam ps. I have been told that there are a lot of Veteran's that are excited to participate.
