    Selfridge Deuces

    Like last years auction there, they were almost all FMS. They were brought in to the Air Base so the FM's could check them out and the ones they wanted could be flown out from there. As such, they were road ready 3 or 4 years ago when brought in.

    Metal bending question

    Military vehicle show Oct 15 11AM-1PM

    In my experience, covering fuel expense goes a long way towards getting a number of trucks. and 15 is a tall order, even in the city. Having 9 last year wasn't a bad showing either. There is a MV show in Sterling Hts on the same day too.
