barrynevuk Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi Durak, Welcome to the forum. The price does seem quite excessive. The company you have been looking at are also known as Jacksons. These trucks are quite readily available now, as the MOD are disposing of lots all them over the next few years. Have you looked on Milweb, especially under Heavy vehicles. David Crouch is advertising on there, he is a really nice guy who is very helpfull. He has trucks, and the bodies. I'm not sure that he resprays them though. He has a haulage breakdown company and deals in trucks. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durak Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hi Barry, many thanks, I found David and sent an email I'll let you know how things go, Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Keith, Jacksons' prices reflect the fact that they generally sell to foreign governments, private companies and charity organisations. As a private buyer you'd be better off looking at www.milweb.net as well as www.mod-sales.com - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big ray Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Rassing fassing spell checker!! :computerrage: Thank goodness that I am not the only one making spelling mistakes on here, I would have shot myself a long time ago........ people keep telling me about the spell checker on here, I would not know where to look for it!!!!! anyway, I am sometimes writing when I will come to the word WHO or WHAT, it`s not that I cannot spell these words, I just simply suffer a mental block, the only consolation is that it makes me human, albeit an old human. If I can remember my name in a morning... I figure that its worth getting out of bed. YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE HOW MANY TIMES THAT I WALK TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, AND HAVE TO WALK BACK DOWN AGAIN BECAUSE I CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT I WENT UP FOR. A spelling mistake is the last of my worries. Have a nice day everyone.:cool2::cool2::cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durak Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Insanity sounds good to me, smelling mistakes too as I've never been good at that, Jacksons or whatever they are called seem to have no interest in our money, the second price I got from them is 37.500 pounds!!!! so its gone up 3 thousand in the last 3 days! I've asked questions but no answere,,, I'll have a look at the others now I have a few mins, Thanks for the info everyone. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
