M977 and M985 are the cargo trucks I believe.
They are rare, but there are a few for sale. I believe there is a member on this forum who has some he might part with, but I may be wrong.
Price wise, you will spend a fortune on it.
And yes, they look awesome.

80 or 90 grand should get you a nice one. You should probably buy 2 in case you get stuck. Happy shopping!

 

[ken326@yahoo.com]

ok thanks had no idea they were that pricey? do they sell them at gl? and if so is that what they go for on there too?

 

[WyoDeuce]

They get sent back for rebuilding. I believe anyone who has one has put it together out of parts.

The back halves are available on gl but no power units. The front half is made of unobtainium!

I think those road trains are nice.

Once in a while they show up on GL and the good news is they are priced at only $150!

 

[WyoDeuce]

$150! Awesome. I'm getting 2!!!

Those are LVS not HEMTTs.

Well Ya know Jeeps went for 50 bucks in crates awhile back, Maybe there are some hemmitts still in the crates , ...

The one for sale in KY is a converted tanker. A few tankers were sold off before they converted them. Its an incredible example. Perfect.

If you are serious about a HEMMT and have a large stash of small unmarked bills you can contact Ted at Ted's Trucks in LA (Lower Alabama). He has several in various stages of completeness.

Methinks the price has already scared him away. Same with a guy who wanted a V-100 or another that wanted a tank. With the very good prices on Deuces it seems to lead some to believe that all the cool iron is valued at it's scrap weight value.

 

[wreckerman893]

HEMMT's are like armor....a wealthy mans game.

 

[emr]

Like i said , Its the ones in the crates these guys want, .......50 bucks, you just got to put em back together...

 

[Stalwart]

Wreckerman, to some degree I agree. Purchasing finished HEMTT's and armor is expensive. It has taken us 12 years to get what we have. Our HEMTT was twice as expensive as what the next valuble piece of equipment cost us with the exception of the V100. We got that in a trade for a M42 Duster we bought many years ago. Then again we don't take many vacations, don't have jewelry or fancy clothes. I have a wife that rats away money for a rainy day and she told me I had to buy the HEMTT, it has always been my dream truck. LOTS of other vehicles had to go and are going because of that one purchase. It all started with a restored Ferret and Stalwart, total cost about $15,000 in 1998.

150 bucks yes but. to move it to home $$ even if you have a class A CDL.
