Can't beat that! We need to have a Birmingham area SS get together. BTW, I still have 3 trucks up in Huntsville I need to bring home. Recovery, you're welcome to drive one for me :)

I might need help transporting a towbar. :-D

Looking good man, ccongrats on the trophy. I like the amazement from the kids, they look at the deuce like it's a giant tonka toy :)

Nice work man! But that color looks a little weird :?:

Welcome to the site vafish! If you really want to have your first vehicle from auction AND get a good one and not a junker you need to do this. Spend time reading on the board about everything, not just about m1008/9's. There is alot of good info on here, and pics too :) Next, you should try...

All your 10 tons are belong to dirt :lol:

Some cool info on M123's VanNatta International, Mack, Navistar Trucks and 4-Wheel Drive

Yeah WM, we're all ready! TNDad, I wish you had posted earlier, I had to pickup 4 trucks on Monday from Redstone with only 3 people including myself. I could have used the help and you could have learned alot about the trucks and the process.

It's definately a crapshoot. I'm lucky enough to have a friend nearby with a little land close to Redstone where I can get them off base. I've recovered 5 deuces and a m1009 CUCV from Redstone... The first truck was a w/w with 35,xxx miles. It has run flawlessly with plenty of power to run up...

There's just something about wreckers! :-D Man, I gotta get one!

What's next, tampons in the m16 rifle mounts? :roll::lol: J/k man, props on the truck. Cancer sucks, something as eyecatching as a pink bobbed deuce will really help to raise awareness. You need a 'save the ta tas' sticker on the bumper too! :wink: BTW, where'd you get those wheels?

If the $350 includes the feet I'm in. I would also want a set of feet for a CUCV.

I've got some now, thanks guys!

Well I got it home. It was a crazy trip! It WAS alot heavier, around 3000lbs, but the folks in the machine shop actually loaded it with a forklift :-D. S/N shows 1951 build year. It came with a few tool holders and mills, but none of them fit in the spindle properly, so I'll have to investigate...

Doghead et. al., I finally found a locksmith who could make it. 30 seconds later I had 2 keys and $13 less in my pocket.

2 weeks - 7 days in GL's hands and 7 days at BC.

BTW, Here's the custome plate I'm going to have made... :lol:

I have called 8 Chevrolet dealers and 1 locksmith in the Birmingham area and they won't make a CUCV key even when I tell them the code. There was one who would make one for $25 but wouldn't guarentee that it was the right one. :roll: I'm picking my m1009 on Monday 4/27 from Redstone and need...

Thanks for the tip!

Oh and one more thing - pics or gtfo :lol:
