Do you just meet the GL guy at the lot?
They did the same thing to me at Lavinia, plugged the address they gave online into my map program and it spits out a location in the middle of the ammunition plant. Apparently they have an office there. Even talked to the guy on the phone and told...
It is probably a hold over from DRMO. When they handled it, there would be a few days to preview and then a few days to bid. They wouldn't let you look at anything else on the lot, just what was open for preview. Now I can't preview anything that is on a base because I don't have a military...
Is this the correct place to pick up at Smyrna? I won a tractor there this week. This is a national guard place isn't it? Do you have to go through a gate and sign in and get searched etc or do you just meet the GL rep there...
I put junkyard seats from a 1988 blazer in my 1986 M1009. It is just like the ones that comes in a 86 but has a different base with different mounting holes from the older trucks. I don't know when the civi trucks changed to the new style, so be careful what you buy. Since you have seats, I...

If you weren't watching it then go here: It may take a day or to to get here.

The lot info and pictures will be gone in 24 hours to the minute or 5PM eastern.
Prices did seem to be up today. I watched a 5 ton tractor go for 1500 a month ago and got the fever for one. I bought one today for twice that. If anybody had bid one more time on it they would have gotten it.
Anybody get one of the late model M35A2Cs that sold today?
I don't have a clue but I bought some NOS in a box. They came with a big turn bolt and a nylon ratchet. There was one of each in the box. I bought them for the ratchet.
Everything I have ever bought has been were they said it was. I would think that if it wasn't were the sale page said it was they would have to release you from the bid contract. You have to be careful though sometimes it will be listed at an office on a base and in the fine print they will...
RE: duvac...
probably not, the alternators are much different in size
no, it is built into the 1009's alternators
You could remove the 1010's alternators, brackets, ac compressor, blue box and associated wiring, and replace it with everything from a M1009.
Another idea I had was to use a...

The AC in the back is 24 volts so it will quit working if you change to 12 volts.
You will have to remove the AC compressor to put the M1008/9 system in a M1010.
I went through the TM 20 and then the TM 30 and...
It used to be said that Hilliary had an interest in the French company that first got the contract back when she was first lady. That company lost the bid when it came up for renewal but I think went into partnership with the new one.
It seems from the comments, that I have offended the dealers on the list. If so, I apologize. To answer the original post, I do not think there is such a thing as a percentage markup of the bid price of an individual truck purchased at GL. This is especially true for individuals buying the...
