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 :)
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 :)

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.

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...
