Going 1 ton with the Blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fun in dirt · 12-03-2008, 04:57 PM

I'm so excited! My husband went to a Forestry Service auction today in hopes of getting an old 1.25 ton military truck for the drivetrain to go under my Blazer. Well he just called me & said we are now the proud owners of 5 of them!

At least they're camoflaged & should be easy to hide behind the shop

Very Nice!! We have about half dozen of them at my work. They have been worked nearly to death, but none of them have any front/rear differential or axle repair done, ever.

Wanna sell me one cheap!? Seriously!!!!!!!

I'll just say that it couldn't be passed up. Some of them could probably be cranked with a battery & little tinkering. Some are dinged up pretty good & others are fairly straight. But the important part is that the drive train is under all of 'em!
One of them is actually a M1028A1 with the 400/205 combo & lockers already in front & rear...this one I'll be keeping. The others will be for sale whole or parted soon. But I'm not blue yet (check is going in the mail to Josh today -really!) so I don't won't to say more & get in trouble with the mods.

Our neighbors are gonna think we're crazy when they see 'em lined up. I thought they were all camo & would "blend" into the fence line, but a few have been on loan to volunteer fire depts & are bright red or blue

No actually it's a field maintenance truck 1031 (I was wrong about the 1028 disignation, this military realm is new to me). Put 2 batteries in it & it fired right up! Even the generator & air compressor (missing the welder) in the back work! These came with D60 front with limited slip, 400/205, 14 bolt with Detroit locker. It only has 15,000 miles. To bad we have no real use for it.
But we've pick 2 out to keep. 1 for my axels & parting & the other for a future project for my husband. Anyway here's some more pics, I know how evrybody like pics! http://community.webshots.com/user/randyw69

Jtrux · 12-08-2008, 06:02 PM

So you're selling the rest of them??? Hmmmmm...

fun in dirt · 12-09-2008, 10:56 AM

Okay, I'm now blue today so here goes.

I think the best thing to do would be for you to put a for sale post in the Trucks For Sale section and then edit your above reply to put a link in it to the for sale post. That will follow the rules I believe and prevent confusion on whether it is okay to have for sale posts in this section.
