I went to a GSA auction yesterday looking to score a 1008 and wound up winning the bid on 5 trucks! One is actually a 1028 or 1031 due to the 205 transfer. Maybe someone here can clue me in on which ones came with the 205. They are about 100 miles south of me so I will be retrieving them 2 at a time and should have them all home by Sat. I have been wanting ONE forever and am tickled to wind up with this many. When I get them all here I will post pics! rofl

The M1028A1 and the M1031 have the NP205 (cast iron). The M1028 has the NP208 (aluminum). Nice score, post pics, and good luck with the recovery.

Got 2 more home today{220 mile round trip} Found out the one I wasn't sure of is a 1031 with aluminum cargo box with a monster electric motor and smaller air compressor in back. This is a daylight to dark operation as I am at the mercy of the Forestry Commision workers to help load these things. It was a GSA auction selling used Ms. Forestry Comm. trucks. The Government loans these trucks to Ms. Forestry and they loan them to local volunteer fire depts. They also said "no more on-site auctions" and will do the next one on-line. I will post pics Monday as my wife has to download pics at her work. As soon as I get them, ya'll will see them, I promise. Also, there are no specs in "resources" for a 1031. Are they the ones with a limited slip in the front axle??? Thanks, Randy.
