I know there were people on a previous thread looking for mil vehicles for BOVs. Saw this, and thought I'd drop a note to y'all.

The link comes back as not functional.

you can just go to gsa.gov and cruise their site, they have all kinds of stuff up for auction from tools, to boats, to aircraft, to vehilces. They ussually run cheaper than governmentliguidation.com as well. My deuce is a 67 and she runs like a top, parts are plentiful if you know where to look and reasonbly inexspensive, are built extra tough as well and can go offroad better than most modern vehicles.

Mine was a 1963. Great trucks for sure. Sometimes I wish I had not sold it. But when you are offered more than you have in it. Well, I buy low and sell high.

Good point alot of trucks are coming on the market through the auctions and if you got the money sometimes you can pick them up cheap. But for those of us that have been tracking these sells over the years one things for certain they will gain in value and are harder to get at those cheaper prices.

A buddy of mine won an M109A3 from Government Liquidation in Ft. Riley, Kansas for $430. Plus their additional 15% fee they add on top of what ever your winning bid was.

So call it $500. He has to go get it after the EUC clears, but still $500 for a deuce? That's a steal.

The axles alone are worth $400 or more each. That's $1200 right there. Plus the tranny is worth something like $200, the airshift transfer case is another $300. Then engines worth at least another $300. Call the parts worth at least $2k, minimum. Hey, the cost of scrap would mean the truck is worth at least $1k as the rear box is aluminum.

You could pull the box (it would make a great shed/workshop), and then part the rest of it out and make two to four times what you have in it.
