cleaning out a large building with decades of crap packed it to it by an old timer Packrat. Few trucks all taken apart, rough shape but the price would be right.
Weapons carrier, frame is good, seems ok.... But........ Someone took the head off of it like 30yrs ago and left it outside. So..... Yea 
M151 something or other, found most of it, soft top, grill suspension, drive line although not sure about motor. Too much shit to dig through and only spend 4/5 hours there today. 
This is in there but I didn't get pics of the truck 
The rest of this is in there somewhere, like 6/7 willies or CJ something jeeps in there I forgot what's what. 
So there anyone local who's into collecting or a club I can contact to come look at this? More concerned about getting it to the right person than most money for it. New owner mostly just wants the building emptied out. I scored all this for $40 and the remote control tank in the next pic (eBay says these tanks are $500+) that's brand new in box. 
(Ammo cans all empty  )
Brand new tank, only from 2003 but still pretty cool and $$$$ on eBay. I think this is what CavGunner used to drive.

The new owner understands many are in rough shape and really only worth scrap value. After talking to him I think to guys like them he'd sell them off pretty cheap knowing they'll get appreciated for the rare and historic parts that are still good. |

Does anyone know of someone with a military tow bar? There is a 5ton that I'm working to buy but needs to be towed, figure the easiest way is to just flat tow it like the mil does.
NU I was sleepin. |

Pretty cool Sardo. I'm imagining you falling through a false floor into a weapons stash like on Revenge of the Nerds, amphibious truck and all.

Everything else there seems to have all the shit but scattered through out the building. Gonna take a day off work this week to go with a friend and get the M818 running and help open up space. M818 with a 250 Cummins

Nice decon canister It's outdated now, cuz all the fancy electronics .mil uses. Works on blister agents too. Nice find tho. Look for C-rations. |

The Mule and jeep trailers are mine hahah. Even if I can't find the motor I'm still going to get it, I'll be able to find the rest of the shit.
I looked up that decon sprayer..... The shit is corrosive, flammable, and fucks up your skin hahah |

ETA: Nice find, by the way. Place looks like a goldmine. Let me know if theres any salvageable Jerry Cans, too. I see a couple in the ammo carrier but its hard to gauge condition.

The mil should just bring these back, forget all the stupid ass self driving and blah blah blah high tech expensive neva-been-dun-b-fow multi million dollar projects, just make these again. Just more efficient motor and possibly an all electric option for like silent drive option. Should cost no less than $30,000 each, 50k for the dual drive option one. |

Shit our scouts ran those jeeps for a while in the 90s, even with hmmwv in stock The mules used to be outfitted with 106mm recoiless rifles pre TOW days. Mule is best range vehicle |
