Columbus OH Loadout or checkout.

I just got an M818 from Columbus. If anyone is going I would like someone to see if it starts. If it does I may try to drive it home. If it does not then I will just use the deuce and the tow bar. Also, anyone near that can pickup and stage for me so I don't have to take a day off work to get it?

Thanks
Chuck

I might be able to help you out, but it'd add an extra hour (at least) to your trip if I pick it up. I'm on the wrong side of cow town...

Thanks. I have had a couple of people chime in. I was hoping to save time off at work. The biggest thing I need right now is to know if she runs and what the serial and reg numbers are so I can get insurance to drive it home in case it does run. I will drop you a line if I need anymore help.

Thanks
Chuck

Congrats again Chuck! Welcome to the ever expanding 818 club! That's one good looking truck. It sure looks like a runner. Can't wait to see it.

The M35's went for my than the M818's. I think mine was the most expensive out of the 4 that ended yesterday at Columbus. I paid extra because it has a newer vinyl top and for the fuel heater. The M35s WW were going for more than the M818s. My wife is already asking if I am going to get rid of the deuce. I hope to have the whole fleet converted to fuel fired heaters by next winter.
