Paid $150 for an NOS one a few years ago.
Works good in a rough environment where you can't use an engine hoist.
Can be difficult to get in place - there were no air shift switches when they designed it.
Ok, here's the early style A1 (and early A2-this is my '67 KJ M35A2) mount:
And here's a sagging mount on a low mileage (14K mile, verified with all paperwork since the truck was new), never deployed USAF truck that's reasonably new (1988):

So, I have no idea what Andy's budget is or how much of this he wants to do himself or if he wants to farm it out to somebody else, but if it were me:
I'd pull the pan and inspect the bearings. See what the bottom end looks like. See if there are parts floating around. If the bearings look...
People say to me all the time "You're so good at search, how do you find this stuff?"

When I joined SS, I'd try to read at least 2 or 3 pages of threads, starting with the oldest and just slowly work my way forward.

Ok, we've gotten a few pm's about an unrelated issue that some folks think is related, so I want to cover it here.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have seized a bunch (40-60) Land Rover Defenders. This is totally, 100% unrelated to our hobby and the EPA really isn't even a part of the...
I want to add something to this, since I have a lot of Land Rover friends and am somewhat familiar with the Defender issue.

I am trying to verify the authenticity of these claims, but sometimes, the policy...

That is the thread that was started when this problem first came to light and the thread had a lot of replies and for good reason: With no hard...
Sorry, no clue. Was looking for strata blue truck pics and found somebody's album on the g503 photo albums. He had a lot of USAF pics so he might know. I can find it again and see if I can get you come contact info if you'd like.
Tom is the treasurer of the Ga. MVPA and called me this past weekend to find out about the Ga. Rally and during our conversation he invited me to their August meeting to talk about the rally.
So on August 16th, I am going to ride out there and have lunch with them and tell them about our rally...
