Well, @fuzzytoaster responded to my "wanted" ad with an M1078A1, so I flew out to Dallas to take a look. Truck looks like the mostly-running-project truck I was looking for; has a couple of air leaks and some gremlins. Hoping to work those out in the next couple days, and then drive it 1200mi...

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not a pilot ! Without going into too many details: I'm an enlisted back end guy on ISR aircraft, although my interest/hobbies in radios, CAD, and electricity have put me in an R&D spot that I am woefully under qualified for (haha). I used to fly...

All, Joined 9yrs ago when looking for an M35 but never ended up pulling the trigger after reading through so much knowledge/advice on here, then self-evaluating my skills, knowledge, and garage at the time. Have periodically perused classifieds/auctions/FB marketplace and an M1083 FMTV...
