Apparently, a shipload of M105A2 beds is being sold at Rock Island
base, in sets of three each. I have a feeling that they are new old
stock. I also have a feeling that the military is dumping all M105A2a
and probably all M35A2 trucks also.

And if I was single, I would for sure buy an M35A2 or A3.

Anyway, I made my own trailer out of a bed like this 3 years ago and I
have been very happy with it.

Rock Island may be close to RogerN.

A word of warning, since such a huge quantity is being auctioned,
selling off the unused beds may be difficult if the market gets
flooded with them.

If you get them cheap enough, it's always scrap steel after you pull
whatever bits you want off of them. Your gov paperwork specifies you
won't export them, but that doesn't apply to the US scrap metal dealer
grinding them up and selling the grindings to China where they can turn
them into more Harbor Freight goodies.

I find that hard to believe. What, are they made of
titanium/unobtanium alloy? $3k is too much for an entire -trailer-,
let alone just a bed.

The Deuce-n-a-haf wasn't much fun on the Autobahn, especially the
rough concrete section near Frankfurt. When it was available we used a
Suburban (C-10) that cruised comfortably at 100 MPH. It helps to have
a rich Uncle to pay for gas.

I still can't figure out why anyone would want a
deuceandahalf. They beat the hell out of you, they
won't get out of their own way on the highway and
they are noisy as hell. I need one now about as
bad as I need a senior drill sargent as a roommate...

I like the rowdy way they roll over cop cars. Pick up a copy of
"Rambo: First Blood" and watch him bounce one over the patrol car. g

The fact remains, they are multi-fueled, all terrain capable,

Ah, the old "finger bone of speech" routine. Like I said, some

because they are married to a senior drill sergeant. Or are a drill
sergeant themselves. Or don't find it a problem.

Your statement "finger bone of speech" is, in itself
