    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    first thing i did was come here to get the scoop from people who might have had a similar experience. i got a lot of great feedback. my truck was lumped in to a group of mainly scrap vehicles from the texas forest service. mine was complete with no major parts missing. i think i am a good repeat...

    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    it was less than the one you are looking at. mine came from gsa, it was paid for before i ever saw it. i drove 200 miles to pick it up. you dont know what your going to get until you see it. parts are usually missing. drive train may be blown or incomplete. its a big gamble. its not for the...

    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    thanks for the heads up, i knew it had been titled , dont know which vfd had it yet. i have thought about getting a duplicate but i doubt they would sign a lost title affa davit since it was govt owned. bonded is another way, have done it many times, but it cost me about 200 to do it. still...

    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    to all it looks like gsa has some flexibility when issuing a form 97 title. my contracting officer said he is reviewing all lots from the tfs sale and will make changes based on several factors. ill bet people are calling. we will see what happens. thanks for all the advice!!

    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    i didnt take it personally. but i have sold a fair amount of these trucks. i know what they are worth. i have lots of spare parts. i used to get these trucks from a neighbor who built extreme 4x4's when the dana 60's were hot. he would buy the trucks, take the axels and almost give me the rest...

    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    skinny military trucks, especially cucv's, both trucks and blazers, hold there value exceptionally well. the last m1028 i had with 30k miles brought well over 3k. there civilian counterparts dont even come close. where i live in texas a good title is very important, especially to out of state...

    m1028 from texas forest service with a salvage title?

    i tried once before talking to them when no title was issued, had to go the bonded route. hopefully a salvage title is better than no title. on the recovery i have found the sooner you get it out of there the less likely stuff will disappear. mine still had a good glow plug card , can you...
