    Now whats the matter with that? Like I said earlier, the forestry has been switching over to white trucks so if'n you want a andes mint, ya better hurry!!

    And I knew you were gonna catch hell for the smoke coming from the chimney......Just started the fire, huh?

    It has been a very good purchase and I'd do it again.
    May be getting some 10 ply tires for it soon; just because I don't like the ones on there no for going into the woods.

    I tried one time to split out of the back of the truck but by the time I got the splitter up in the box and set it up (vertically, of course) there wasn't enough room. :whistle:

    That is exactly what I did initially, but was quickly steered to this website which seems to handle their and many other agencies sales.

    GSA Auctions®, General Services Administration, Government Site for Auctions

    But, by all means, contact your local agency first just in case they still hold "live" auctions for their vehicles.
