I can't say I'm displeased at them going under. My local YRC delivery guy said the writing was on the wall since last October and many of the "lifers" had already begun jumping ship. They've had about a 50% misdelivery or damage rate with my LTL shipments. They're the reason my NOS military air...
I've been selling these handles for years and people have been incredibly creative with them. They are designed for the mounting/dismounting off the rear of LMTVs. I've seen HMMWVs, deuces, and more use them. They could be an "oh $hit" handle on the deuce dash. Food for thought.
I covered this in a few past posts and believe the A1 trucks between 2003-2004 would be the clear winners in my opinion. They have the 3126 and fall in a narrow serial range where they received many of the newer truck upgrades that became standard on the 2006+ A1R models. Battery disconnect...
Rags to riches story for this ROPS M923A2. It was a 2 year slow burn type project that deserved it.
Auction acquired 2 years ago with the help of Wes. She was given to the State of Indiana's Forestry Service but the location was 40 miles off any hardball road. The site was staffed by convict...
It really depends what you're moving and what trailer. I've had 3 HMMWVs hauled at a time and it cost me about $2600. I had time and waited for my price.
You'll need to share pictures, operational condition, and title status to get a better idea of value. I've seen Gama Goats sell for $3500-$15,000 in the last 3 years. It depends on a lot of factors.
Finished up this project that will make someone's dream come true. This winch model M1078 had a bad engine so I gave it another Cat but from an MTV. With 290 horses under the hood (cab?) and 16.00's it will move. When the turbo spools it puts your butt in the seat. It was painted, doors rebuilt...
I've inadvertently gotten into beekeeping this week with one of my 5 tons. The bees have been impressively busy for only such a short time but allegedly this isn't the first time for this truck to attract a swarm. Fortunately, one of my guys had the equipment and experience to relocate them...
No thinning on the Behr. I want it to apply thick(er) to imitate the CARC and help fill in any scrapes it may have gained over the years. I used an airless sprayer with a 5 gallon bucket to keep application consistent and it helps keep me in my groove when painting. I despise having to take...
I've painted a dozen M1078s and Behr Marquee Exterior Flat is the way to go. 5 gallons 383 green if you're doing everything exterior and one more gallon if you want to do inside the frame. 383 Brown I recommend the Rapco rattle cans and you will use 3 or 4 for the truck. Black, use Rustolium...
No, it's a 2004. The truck has a battery disconnect box and lacks the features of an A1R: cab grab handles, larger door handles, etc. The 2004 year models (with some variance of late-late 2003's) received these upgrades that later became standard on the A1Rs 2006 onwards.
You sir have a typo...
