I like that one. Looks like a good solid truck that someone went through in detail. I like that one far better at $8500 than the first one at $10k, completely ignoring any additional trades.

Points of comparison between the one you're looking at and this tan one 1) dual circuit brakes. Adds about $2500 in value. 2) dropside bed, adds maybe $750 3) aluminum MRAP rims , adapter plates, 395 XZLs. Adds about $3500 over stock wheels and tires, less than that compared to his 395s on...

Looks like you got a good truck at a decent price. I glanced through the pics and didn't see anything major. The charging guage shows where I'd expect it to be for either fully charged batteries and an INOP alternator, or flat dead batteries and a working alternator (more likely)

TX has recently changed their FMV laws to specifically accept SF97s. With this in mind, a SF97 should be quite sufficient and no need to spend the extra $ on a title from GP. Usually I recommend spending the $ on the title. But TX is the exception.

Do you like this better? Late Airforce truck with dual circuit brakes. 395 XZLs on aluminum MRAP rims. 1987 build date.... and delivery available. PM inbound

A good bolt is better than a poor weld. For things used on the road or other places where failure would be critical, if you don't absolutely trust your welds, bolt it instead. If I were welding that, it'd get multiple passes of 7018 stick.

Pics!

Do yourself a favor and convert to spin on also.

Vehicles and weapons both. It was generally absolutely prohibited. It was done anyway.

JW Speaker is my #1 choice.

Something to consider- if you don't need a cruising speed >55mph the 3speed trucks aren't nearly as expensive.

He has the tank. He thinks he has the pump at his other place. The tank was damaged and repaired. Detailed pics of the repairs below. $400 picked up in Midland or somewhere en route, timeline mid to late October. I'll PM you...

My opinion- GP's blowby assessment doesn't yield any useful data. Picture of my truck, just because -

My best guess says it'll be luck of the draw depending on who is behind the counter. My opinion is that your chances improve if the titling documents you are presenting are an actual title and not an SF97. My last firsthand experience with TX was in 2013 so this is mostly speculation.

I have a buddy in socorro NM that may have one. I have a trip planned there , and then subsequent trips between Ft Riley KS and Midland TX so handoff may be possible. I'll text him now and update you. @RGS20inophir

If it's critical, buy Hawkers. If it's not critical, the cheap Walmart RV and marine batteries work just fine and will last a few years. This is probably the least cost per start/use. My trucks are toys. I have several and own heavy jumper cables. The odds that at least one will start and...

This varies greatly by state. What's relevant to IN is irrelevant anywhere else. Some places want a BOS in addition to a title (NM). Some places won't accept GP's reassignment letters (OK). Some places won't accept an SF97 at all (Tucson). And some places tell you that no military vehicles are...

I advocate flat towing or trailering it. Trailering is the preferred option if tires or bearings are suspect. If flat towing, pull the driveshafts- it's quick and easy and removes another source of badness.

Yeah, most likely leaking into the airpack.

I'd replace all 6 with 395 XZLs. And carry two jacks and cribbing as you wont get enough travel from just one. And a breaker bar and cheater pipe as you can't trust anything else to break them loose. By all means, carry the electric impact to spin them once you've broken them loose, and to put...
