i see these for sale all the time. more so now the ever. is the army making a big move to surplus these? what should i be looking out for? anyone bought on on govliquidations?

 

[tymbom]

I bought mine through GovLiquidations. It was pretty easy to do, it just takes a long time to do all the paperwork and stuff. There really isn't anything particular about these trucks... basically the same as a civy truck. If you like the military look and don't mind not having any creature comforts they're good trucks. I would get one as complete as possible. Sometimes they are missing smaal parts that are hard to find. With 4.56 gears and no overdrive, regular driving is slow. 50-55mph. I put the lift and tires on mine before I even got it licensed. The tires are big enough that I can cruise at 60-65mph easily. You just can't beat'em for heavy duty stock. While everybody else is chasing around for 1 tons you can be putting in a doubler or something.
Oh yeah, check out www.steelsoldiers.com they have alot of info in there.
