******************************************************


Ok, time for me to enter this arena correctly. I just picked up a M1028 from MCLB Albany that had been stored in a cave in Norway from July of 1987 to July of 2009. I watched this truck come to the base and was in awe. Someone who works on the base bought the truck at auction, had the shelter pulled off and simply put about 300 miles on it just driving around the storage lots over the past year or so. I talked to him about buying it and he told me he'd take what he paid at auction so without further ado, let's introduce my $2,500 NOS M1028.

A few more for the masses. The truck drives great. Now we need to save up for an 8" lift and some 37X12.50 HMMWV tires!!!

your kidding about the lift and HMMWV tires right?
:ditto:

Please tell us are not really going to molest that original CUCV aua, you can sell that for way more then double that buy price. Then get another one for the same price that is not a museum piece to lift it. That trucks really belongs in a military museum as everything is original. Do you not recall the two M1010 from GL earlier this year that were almost brand new sold for like $10k+ (do not recall the exact number).

Wow! and double Wow! The only other CUCV I have ever seen that was that nice came from a underground climate controlled missile base in Colorado or Utah somewhere..It had never seen sun light its entire life. That is a very good price too!

The lift will be done with the utmost care, ie springs and pitman arm, etc. and I'll retain all the original parts. I bought the truck for my wife who wants a good vehicle to hit the trails with at Durhamtown next year. It will be babied and kept in very good shape, not abused. I spoke with the truck earlier about the museum idea and he made it clear that since he'd spent 23 years in a cave, he'd like to enjoy life outdoors for a little while now.:driver:

I gota wonder what else is in storage in that cave in Norway.I know that there are weapons in places like that.When I was overseas the M249 that I was issued came from Strategic Stores,maybe the same cave!

Nice truck! You would be well served not to follow Gimpster or myself at the GA rally of you favor straight sheet metal. I'd hate to see it lifted but it is your truck. I might bring my Oh-8 back next year. Does anyone know if that is a standard location and install for a pioneer tool rack? Is it an MWO? I like that but don't know if I want to replace my MAXX tool.
