can you get a rolling HMMWV chassis?

[rawhide]

Complete HMMWVs are hard to find, and expensive. Has anyone ever seen a rolling chassis come up for sale? All I would really need is the frame, suspension, and the full drivetrain from the transfer case down to the wheels/hubs. I can source or fit an engine and transmission. I don't want or need the body or interior, but I am interested in this chassis as the foundation for a project. Even if it was less wheels and tires, at least those are available without too much difficulty.

What are the chances of finding something like this? I haven't seen any, so I am curious if these are subject to the same demil rules as complete vehicles?

From what I have been told. The HMMWV frame is cut diagonally in both directions (front corner to rear corner), then cut from frame side to frame side in several spots, and if available it is then crushed.

There have been several rolling chassis up for sale on eBay recently... all from Army Trucks, Inc. which is a motion picture rental company.

GL was auctioning a bunch of frame rails. You could always build one from scratch!

Anyone care to put price guesstimates on this??

They export most of their stuff. I think they built one or two for private sales, but the rest got painted white and loaded onto a ship.

pm sent to OP. Prices range from $3500 to $12,000 depending on condition.

Dont try building one from two frame rails.I am doing that now,it is very expensive and time consuming.Trying to find all the parts is very hard .

 

[jwaller]

there are 2 or 3 on the G board right now. I know of one about 15miles from me.

I know about the same one as jwaller does. Just remember what HMMWV stands for (High Maintenance, Money Wasting Vehicle). If you got the money, we both know the man that can fix you up!

Thanks guys. I'm still in the planning/pondering phase of the project. At least I know that these are out there and have some idea what one would cost.

You might consider this... 1995 Hummer H1 Alpha :: $12,000 :: AURORA, IL :: Listing ID-261693 :: CarsOnlineFree.com

In all seriousness, buying one a piece at a time is a terribly expensive way to do it. Have you considered buying a civvy H1 and some Krylon camo paint?
