Wow, I wish someone had given my truck similar care.
Mine was "rode hard and put up wet," as they say in Texas.

Brought another uncut M718A1 home today, has a little rust but the undercarriage is in good shape, it had the hard to get medic box.
Re: Persistence pays off M718A1
I thought you were FORBIDDEN to bring home any more vehicles? YEA RIGHT!
Looks like someone misjudged the low clearance!
How many you got laying around now?

Re: Persistence pays off M718A1
Just can't help myself, Rick, I HAVE WAY TOO MANY!!!, 15-20, I ended up trading a running, driving, xcut A1 for both M718's, he has an A2 with a gun mount that I want, it is the one I was supposed to fix up for him, he said I may end up with it. May have to come live with you before long, do you have room for 20 mutts and 1 dog
Re: Persistence pays off M718A1
The dog yes, the mutts no. I have to get rid of stuff I have as it is.

Re: Persistence pays off M718A1
I have made that same deal before.. guy wanted me to put a rough paint job on an WW2 reenactors jeep and gave me a running early M151 Willys in return.. a few weeks ago a guy traded me 5 standard M151 wheels for 5 magnesium wheels:)
Re: Persistence pays off M718A1
I hope you were the receiving end of the mags! If not you lost out big time on that deal.

Few more pics
Was surprised how solid the underbody is, it will need front floors, rear floor, battery box floor and a small patch in the gas tank floor.
