If things go sideways at the Port of Houston, I can help. It’s possible these need export authorization. Better check and be sure. I know 5 ton trucks sure do.

Thank you sir. Not the first military truck I bring to Germany but the first one via „Roll on, Roll off“. Export papers are complete. Took a while and it was not easy to get them.

Sold by Government Liquidation in 2006. The buyer was not able to get a title for it so he sold it. The new owner did get a title in 2025. The A2 drove about 100 miles since 2006 so a complete PMCS is first on the list.

Nice!

Suggest you find a 4L80E transmission set up for transfer case and let it ride over with the truck. 80 km/h is a bit slow for the autobahn.

 

[Guyfang]

Even old "Oma's drive faster than that!!

I like stock and factory CUCVs. I am never in a rush when I enjoy them.

The eagle has landed in Bremerhaven (Germany) yesterday. So far so good.

 

[Guyfang]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Bremerhaven! Wonderful place. I shipped twice from there and picked up 3 times from there. Typical large Harbor. A little shabby, but that's what gives it that flair. The first time I shipped a car, I forgot insurance for the car. So my wife and I were standing there with about 5 D-Marks in our pockets. Our train, hotel and food money, just covered the insurance. For a bit, I thought my new wife, was going to be my new Ex Wife. So I bummed a magic marker and took some scrap cardboard and made a sign. "Bayern, OberFranken, Bamberg". Took her by the hand and showed her all about hitchhiking. About 30 min later we had our first ride. Its 585 klicks from Bremerhaven to Bamberg. Took 14 hours more or less. Got to Bamberg at 04:00 and conned a buddy to drive us the last 50 klicks to the barn. Fond memories!
