I know where a few goats are hiding here in Wyoming and I was going to do some asking around and try to lay hands on one, but after reading this maybe Ill let them lay low until the apocalypse and get them then haha... :wink:

So update on the situation: I found another M-55 in Evanston that's missing a bed and fuel tank and a few things and needs some TLC but it RUNS and Drives, but "Needs brake work" and he's not sure what's wrong with the brakes. The guy bought the truck planning on stealing the axles for his mud...

Well I should be getting a 5 acre piece of property this week sometime and as soon as I do and I have a place to keep it I think ill be buying it and hauling it out to my house to start working on it.
