i just dont see any real heavy value in a standard cckw,
to me its like a JEEP..
for my purposes, the
speciality trucks is what i'm collecting, for diaoramas, i can call 10-20 people and have a cckw or jeep at an event, if i need one, i bought the cckw - compressor truck for 8500, instead,, and a few more trucks(afxw),, oh, and i already have a few cckws already., almost all the varients.
Have you found as airborne cab for that truck yet? i have a few leads,,, on about 6 parts trucks...or a wwii airborne bed? (the regular beds show up,, i ve never seen a airborne cut down cab yet. or airborne bed.) jaap in europe might know,, he's getting some M20 and C2 federal wrecker parts shipped over for me,, as for over prices,, you could of had 3 other closed cabs or another open cab,, for a bit less,,
Hey if two people are happy, its a good deal.
RIGHT????
i find it childish/funny for the gloating of such a GREAT SALE and GREAT DEAL., SERIOUSLY????? no, really???? was it such a great deal to find a cckw, running, with alot of incorrrect parts for under $5000?????
REALLY???? holy cow, stop the press!!!!!!!!!!!! man,, i wont sleep tonight, knowing i missed on such a great deal, on one of the most prodused trucks(an incorrectly RE-BODIED , post war bedded, REBUILT truck for $5000)
hey, you lived close, correct? you drove it home, correct?
good for you? it would have cost an additional $1000-1500 for me to get it home,, location location location,,, if the truck was AIRBORNE correct, i'd paid $10,000. easliy!!!!!!
BUT i bought another nice correct truck, wwii bed, cab, data plates for $3500, i'd been in the 5-6500 range on your incorrect truck .
keep kickin the dead horse hear and on other forums..
.
ps i'm not the only one saying it was over priced.. he also lowered it... a few times.
people have different taste, ive had all the jeeps,, slats, gp's ,, gpw, mb's, commandcars,, sold them all, if i go to a show(rarely, i like to take something a bit different. k51 k43 k44, coe's.ward la france, daimond t, c2 wreckers) ( i mostly do government supplier Private shows and airshows)
public forums,, public opinion.... the end...........good luck with the resto,, looks good.
most IH trucks have the red daimond motors,, i thought? although the larger trucks had the bigger motors(need my book)pretty common motor in ohio,, parts can be found, made or imported, if you know the right people... binder shows in ohio all the time,
i like the ih trucks for the heritage, and what many think of them as Marine corp trucks,, m 2 4,, etc
firetrucks,, are cool,, i do alot of airshows,, the "crash truck is really cool,, if you ever watch an old film, of b17, b24, b25 flying in, and crash landing,, look closely at the trucks rushing in,, wc54's, and fire trucks... Remember the dayton national air museum is 40 minutes from my house...Rickenbacker, 15 min, alot of history here.
big trucks arent for many people, especially those that liive in town.. i have space, and have my own restoration shop... and lifts..
$8000 was high,,, and was RIGHT!!!
