Nope. Didn't find one I liked for the price I want to pay at the moment. Too picky I guess, but I have no problem holding out for now. I picked up a car for the time being (even though I'm not a fan of cars), so I'll go back on the hunt for trucks once I'm done with school next year.

Ok, I'm an idiot, I could've found that by just searching for it. aua Sorry about that. I did find this though in a google search: (4) The contractor shall use the following codes together with the disposal codes 1 through 9, X, and S (e.g., A1, F7, SS) to indicate the condition of...

Nice! Fort McCoy is only about 3 hours from me. I'll keep my eye on govliquidation for those. By the way, I'm not familiar with condition codes. Is there a good place you can recommend to go read about them?

Thanks Marti. I'll keep an eye on the Govliquidation and GSA auction sites for trucks. I agree with you, the prices that I was quoted did seem a little high, but so far that's all I've had to go on. As for the 6.2, like you said people seem to love them or hate them. It seems the people who...

I wondered about that too. 36inch tires on ANY unlifted truck sound a little large. It seems like they'd rub the front fenders like crazy while turning, unless Tom at Alfa Heaven has figured out a way to fit them so this doesn't happen. I've heard he really knows what he's doing though, so...

Hmmm, the M880's I'm looking at are from Alfa Heaven here in Wisconsin, and Tom has 36 inch Humvee tires on all the M880's he has for sale. Will those tires ultimately destroy the front wheel bearings, or will they not hurt anything? He says that with those tires the trucks cruise comfortably...

Nope, never heard Gene Krull. Is he a friend of yours that lives in the area? As for my comment about cruise control not being necessary, I meant from a convenience standpoint. I like having it, but having to hold my foot on the gas, even during an 8 hour trip (which I did in my old 73 Nova...

Thanks for the info Nick and McGuyver! I'm leaning very heavily toward buying one of these for my daily driver now. I've also been looking around for 1st generation Rams with the Cummins Turbo Diesel, but it seems to be quite hard to find one for a decent price. It's either spend $4000-$6000...

RE: Leaning toward buying M885, a few questions from a rooki Thanks for the info! =^) I actually was reading a bit on another Dodge forum last night before I went to bed and a question that was asked was whether or not having full-time 4wd is really a disadvantage over part time, and the...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the boards (been looking around for a couple weeks or so) and I've been trying my best to read up on the old military trucks as I'm considering buying one for a daily driver since I truly despise cars. At first I was leaning toward buying a CUCV, but I can't seem to...
