Junky but Hard Workin' 1008

[NDT]

Here is my M1008. It has lived a hard life, first with the Army in Desert Shield, then as a municipal high water rescue truck, then reassigned to the city pothole patch crew. It is rusted, it smokes, the 12 volt wiring is a disaster, the bed is caked with asphalt, it has death wobble, the interior is a mess. But it ALWAYS starts, runs, and works it's butt off for me. Today hauling a heavy excavator . . .

A truck like that is why people love these these mvs. What size tires you running on there??

33x12.5x16.5 Fits great and does not rub anywhere.

Everyday it goes to work for you, it is saving you money.... on top of all that, it still has a lot of value....

Nice Truck!!
You can make the death wobble go away for 25 dollars.

That truck has a great story behind it, and alot of character!

Unfortunately, that is the way a lot of good military surplus trucks get treated in the governmental world. I have seen two good M37's and one really good M715 get beat to death, and ultimately the M715 and one M37 got rolled at a county park and scrapped on site.... They get them cheap and they beat them to death. At least the truck in NDT's post has a small chance of surviving now that its in his hands....
