HLVWs For sale Crown Assets

It will be very interesting to see how high these go for. The cranes are sure handy. The one cargo truck they are selling was a binned stores truck. Generally those saw a fairly easy life.

It will be interesting to have a look in the service records and see what the issues with these 6 trucks are. The LSVW that was recently sold certainly was not represented in the description.

I agree that a crane is a handy thing, especially for a restorer when a short shop crane or a gantry aren't available or workable.

Wow ! a very large and cumbersome vehicule for a restorer . Nice project for someone who is in heavy ( very ) heavy trucks ! i remember a rescue in Suffield by one of those . .. The Iltis had been flattened to the axles by my M113 backing up . fortunatly , the officer ( nice fellow from an armoured Rgt) had been able to evacuate the right side and hos driver from the left . Never knew it was called a Percheron . A Belgian work horse . Robert

So 6 of the 7 sold for prices in the $9599 to $10,500 range,with one truck having being pulled for "Not sold-auction not as described".

I never did look up the service records for these trucks, but if the transmissions were OK, they would seem like a good deal. At least until you need repair parts....

Kind of like a bank robbery.... Getting in is the easy part
