Good day Hanno,
From what I see (enlarging photo), it's a 4x2 not a 4x4. Description doesn't mention capture documentation. No photo of motor bay and if the vehicle will even run/stop. The problem with most Museum vehicles is that they look good but are in questionable condition electrically and mechanically. Also, the cost of buying, getting it working and transportation make this vehicle a financial gamble.

Best vehicles to buy are ones that have been restored or semi-restored and are being driven regularly.

Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice looking truck but not enough information to sink $20K+ to own.

How much "roomier" is the No. 13 cab? Were any fitted with the 2B1 bed? I may have to keep an open mind on any of these type trucks.

I've scoured the net and information seems to be limited on the CMP's.

By the way, been a member here since 2005 but life took me in a different direction and haven't been on in years. My name is Duane. I'm an exArmy Arctic Warfare Specialist. Hence my ID name. I'm more interested in arctic/snow machines and the not-so-well known vehicles. No big interest in the every day usual surplus military vehicles.

Thank you for the response Hanno.
