(Looks in box with 4 rattle cans) Hmm.

Well, you got it home for free. That'll be $1k you can put into parts right away.

You'll die of old age before you wire wheel that truck. Just hit the worst parts with the needle scaler and paint the whole damn thing with Gillespie Coatings. https://www.armyjeepparts.com/t-GCI_paint.aspx You can do the standard CARC 383 substitute but if you want to do Vietnam era colors...

Rock on! Attack that thing with a pressure washer, needle scaler and a paint gun and it'll look great!

I run my tires around 80psi for highway travel like the dash plaque says. I agree that you shouldn't take them up to 110 psi if they're dried out. Like @Jbulach says, if you have a couple of buddies have one of them drive your dually in front of you and have the other buddy follow you with...

Yes, there's an air pressure gauge and a warning buzzer. Obviously, they may not be functional. The compressor may be able to keep up with the leak. You'll have to get the engine running and charge the system to find out. There are several soft lines that are easy to replace if you can find the...

Like eric said, if you don't have the air assist, even standing on the brake pedal may not stop you. Ok, so it's 14 miles. What kind of miles? City, suburb, rural or cross-country? Your profile says "central FL." If you're driving that thing over I-4 near Orlando, forget it! If you're out in...

Wow, I didn't know there were 2 trucks. Choose the best one and run with it! Hey, I'm from Ft. Myer's originally. Fellow "cracker" here.

Call around some more before accepting that $1k fee.

Ouch. $1k for 14 miles. I paid $250 for similar transport. You're right to transport it for safety reasons if you can't inspect/fix the brakes. Would the seller allow you to work on the brakes on his property? Then you could drive it home safely.

That's a bit of an "ouch." How far away is it? I never owned one but I do have a bit of a soft spot for dumpers.

Man, that old soldier is rough. If you have the time and space to mess with it, $1500 is good. I wouldn't try to drive it home though, not without going through the brakes. The dump mechanism is an additional system to go through, for safety.
