Why is this always the way? "If noone give me X for it it will be going to the scrapper by (week's, month's, day's end)." Ever heard of eBay? Listing in MVM? I guarantee a listing on either will bring more than the scrap guy will pay you....

RE: Re: ambers.. Looks great! I like the amber headlights!

Will do, Adam. Your M38A1 wasn't that bad, was it? Nope - didn't take the deuce. Then the trip would've taken twice as long and cost twice as much in fuel! Very tired and the truck is the worse for wear - my daughter got sick and projectile vomited all over the inside of the truck, 3 times...

About to head out the door to go pick up Kaylee's new body tub. My jeep's body and fenders are pretty well shot, and I am getting a some new M38 parts from a guy in SC, selling a brand new tub, hood, and two new fenders for $1000 cash. Too good a deal to pass up. Total trip time will be 15...

That would be a M123 10-ten tank tractor. It is missing the 5th wheel, and the rear winch assys. Fuel tank holds 166 gallons, range is 300 miles, so mileage is slightly under 2 miles to the gallon. 2,000 miles / 2 mpg = 1,000 gallons of fuel to drive it to FL, cost would be about $3,390 in...

There is a nice one in Chambersburg right now, Bruce. Looks purdy! Not sure if it is on their website, but I know it's in their lot.

Why doesn't he just put it on eBay and be done with it? M37s and their variants have been getting good money there. It might not get the $2K he wants, but I doubt he's going to get more elsewhere. Plus, it will be gone in about a week.

Okay, 1917 ! Added you and your wife to the tentative list. Not sure which vehicle you were going to take, so I put down M35A2 or M813 with a ? at the end. The CJ5 would be good too! Course, it would really be interesting if you brought the Nova! :)

That one on top looks very nice, how much are you asking for that? Wasn't No.2Diesel looking for an M817 recently? This would be just the ticket....

The increased price reflects their ruggedness and usefulness. They have simply started going up to what commercial dump trucks sell for. They are still cheaper than buying a new Kenworth dumper, right? :)

Any bigger than 40 or 42 gallons and you'll have to take out a second mortgage when you tank up.

Wow, those are nice looking trucks! Apparently the cold preserves the paint job really well up there!

I hear that - up at Coleman's in PA, there is a very rare M37 radio truck (no, not a standard M37 or M42, it's a MRC-* type rig) that has been sitting there so long the body is rotted through. Long gone, but some of the running gear is salvagable. Wants $700 for it. I am tempted to take some...

Probably worth $2500 in scrap value, depending on where you send the metal. So he's not really that far off asking that much. The wrecker bed on the -816 next to it looks pretty good. You got the axles, one running engine and one unknown. Some tires, two cabs, and a bunch of small parts and...

You bring the term "big green iron" to a whole new level!

Might want to see if the seller is going to do a package deal on the pair, I see a much worse condition wrecker next to it. Those would have some great parts on them, indeed!

Good pics, John! Glad to see you're still tooling around in the MVs! Have you moved to the new house yet?

Anyone see any REAL M35A3 rims available surplus? Or are they rare as hen's teeth?

If you want original replacements, or original-looking, try a local auto upholstery place. They might be able to recover your existing seats for less than the cost of new seats. If you just want them covered, JC Whitney sells a bunch of different types of seat covers that won't be a perfect...

Two lowboys humping. Is this how smaller equipment trailers are born? ;)
