Once you acquire them they are yours, I believe like I said in an earlier post that with a lot of 10 you could possibly make 2-3 serviceable trucks with 10 of them.

All the contacts are on the link

The current listing is inconsistent with the notion a buyer could part out the vehicles for resale.

See my previous post, which is a portion of the full conditions.

Rookies....when the M151A2s were sold, I bought 30 of them from Shilo. I was in Winnipeg at the time. So for each one I would have to drive the 200kms to Shilo, hook an A-frame to a Jeep, and then tow it to Westbourne, MB, where I collected all 30 together. I would head out on a Saturday morning to Westbourne, and with the help of an old deuce HIAB, it would take me 4 hours to completely strip a jeep to the bare body. On a long day I could get 4 done, but usually I stopped at 3-1/2. I was in it for the long haul.


When they were all stripped, I had a massive pile of jeep tubs. A local guy with a flatbed picked up all 30 and took them to Mandak in Selkirk where the crown assets guys came out to watch them get cubed 4 at a time.



So only 10 LSVWs mean that you would only have to make 10 trips with a simple 14 foot long flatbed trailer. At minimum bid you would be paying $570 a truck. There are van bodies on many of them. The electronics, alternators, starters, drivetrain, tires, etc are all saleable. End of the day, you will have 10 frames and cabs to haul to the scrappers. If it's anything like the Jeeps I bought, most will have full tanks of diesel to help defray the costs of moving them.



Trust me, as I have been with the LSVW fleet from it's introduction: the fools that buy these things are going to need parts. One only has to ask superdave about this: with his LSVW many people who meet him think he is just a pair of feet sticking out from under one of these lemons.
Sorry Dave...had to do it.

[Robert Bergeron]

Dave ? Is it you Dave under that truck ?

[rob love]

Yep, the one and only. Luckily for him he has the van body as well as lots of compartments to hold the necessary tools and spares. If you own an LSVW, you may as well carry every tool you own in the truck.....you are going to need them. When all else fails, the small can of gas (seen in the photo below) and the supplied match are there for a purpose.


Most guys, on meeting Dave in this manner, think the call-sign on the door is actually his boot size.

SuperDave has also driven that LSVW more kilometers already than most ever did in their service life.

Here is the second wave of 10 scrap vehicles for sale: https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?...1&sf=ferm-clos


again there is formality and confusion but you are more than welcome to call my supervisor for clarification.

If you are buying these to fix your current fleet of LSVW or to make one functional LSVW there shouldn't be issues with having to physically destroy them for scrap.

I do know that, and he has my respect. Just ribbing him a little. He is truly a sucker for punishment.

Shame these trucks are so far away from him.

Edited to add: He has not responded to my good nature ribbing. Anybody want to bet he is busy fixing his LSVW?
