Dont know if he takes plastic but its probably best to come with the greeen stuff. Weather report says 50% chance of rain Saturday but its not gonna stop me, beats the 105 degree heat the last time I was there. Everything still good to go Mike?

Just got mine off the front porch. Looks great, Thanks!

RE: Nice Truck Looks great! I was considering painting mine the same color and now I can see the finished product before spending a dime.

RE: manuals No hard feelings here, can't beat the price. Your health is more important.

Lost track of this thread with all the holidays and work, some funny posts. Thanks for the offer FLoyd. I called GL yesterday and the guy in charge wont let me come out to look at it until I have my EUC and paid in full invoice :roll: I was'nt going to argue with him in case I need a little load...

Any word on when these will be shipped out? Sent you payment on the 7th and 2 PM's, no reply. Thanks

RE: Tax Well I guess I was wrong :oops: I always thought the 7.75% sales tax I was paying was GL charging Arizona sales tax but according to the GL FAQ it is the state in which the item was purchased. Here in Los Angeles county the tax rate is 8.25% so that is what was throwing me off. Sorry...

RE: Re: RE: Finally got the truck...with a lot of headaches. That missed radiator damage was my bad. I was too busy looking for bent front driveshafts and punctured fuel tanks that the careless fork lifts drivers usually do. I feel horrible. I was rushed because the GL guy was watching me like...

I was bidding on a 5 ton but of course it surpassed what I was allowed to spend. From the pics on this one, it looks great, no springer seat though. 10k on the odometer and what looks like a nice new winch cable. Thanks for that info Medlog. Look at the the PTO shifter in the pic, its about 3...

Well, I sold my duece earlier this summer because I really had no reason to have one (I regretted it). I bought a Unimog thinking it would help me cope with being dueceless, it did'nt. Sold it and bought a M1009 which I love and am keeping. All the while, I keep reading all these great stories...

I'm in for the 5th as well. Got the day off and got permission from my wife.....I mean, I TOLD my wife I was going!

If you still have your Unimog radio box/M105 camper trailer, I bet that would bring in some nice coin on Ebay. That is a sweet setup!

You get charged after your EUC clears if applicable. They have a 10% buyers premium of the winning bid (examble winning bid $2000 = $200 buyers premium) and sales tax is Arizona's state tax rate which is around 7-8%. All this info can be found in the FAQ section on GL's site. Dont know about not...

Mike, Did you ever get any fabbed up?

Get a fork lift! Makes it alot easier. Not too bad of a job with 2 people.

RE: 404 insurance I had my 404.1 insured through State Farm with 100/300K coverage with no restrictions. It was around $60/month.

I havent found any adapters in my research. It seems the easiest thing to do is just swap in a regular truck axle. A GM 14 bolt rear end should just about bolt in based on my preliminary measurements. Do a search for "M105 axle" and it should bring up this same subject.

I can tell you that the front and rear axle from the M1008 are now sitting in my garage waiting to be transplanted into my M1009!

Nice looking truck! What kind of fuel mileage do you get with that set up? A chopped up M105 trailer bed would match pretty good to the square shaped body. Your best bet would be to scrounge the wrecking yards for a front axle off a similar truck that a utility company would have owned. Other...

My buddies duece has big rubber pads bolted to the front bumper with what appear to be 1/2" bolts, maybe it used to have the pads on there?
