1975 Other Makes Tgb11 Description

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I'm a disabled vet trying to pay my bills. I have perfect eBay feedback. Messages trying to talk me down to a ridiculous price will be ignored. This truck is WELL worth what I'm asking. Any questions about the value of these trucks can be found at Real4x4forums dot com. It is in perfect working order. It has upgrades. It starts and runs as smoothly as any vehicle I've ever seen. (It's one of those rare trucks that start the instant you push the start button.)
This was purchased 4 years ago with the intent to convert it into an off-road camper for my wife and I. Swedish army was the first owner. Joacim Halling from Coatex AB in Malmo is the second. (He buys them from the military, reconditions them, and resells them to customers all over the world. He has a flawless reputation for honesty and quality workmanship). I am the third owner. It has always had non-ethanol gas and lead substitute added, (along with a little Marvel Mystery Oil), to each fill up.
It has a clear title, is registered, insured, and recently inspected, ready to drive away. The only work it's needed since we bought it was the CV boots. They were the original rubber ones from the military, and they cracked. I purchased new polyurethane boots and had them installed locally. This is a true 24vdc truck, (dual 12vdc batteries, 24vdc alternator output).
Engine: inline 6cyl, dual Stromberg carbs, all rebuilt by Swedish military.
Clutch: New at time of rebuild.
Trans: 4 speed with reverse lock-out.
Transfer case: air operated high-low range.
Axles: portal, air lockers, HUGE ground clearance.
Tires: Michelin XS low-impact military, (regroovable)
Headlights: LED, brand new, (from a 2½ ton AM General army truck, aka Deuce-and-a-half)
Body: Alu-zinc, (galvanized steel and aluminum), with front opening window and roof hatch
*EDIT*
Buy-It-Now will also receive a FlipPac lid/roof, FlipPac tent, and most hardware needed to make a custom camper! {See last pic). this shows what I was planning for it. It is a custom job so it would require fabrication work to complete.

*This vehicle is being sold as-is, where-is. Any shipping is on you. As a courtesy, I will GLADLY work with your shipper of choice, and their schedule, for pick up. Obviously, local pick up is allowed, as it runs and drives perfectly, and can be driven away, (top speed about 55 mph! It'll go faster, but bring earplugs and hold on tight!) I can also *maybe* deliver it within an hour's drive, (provided you pay fuel, tolls, and ferry costs,) If I deliver it, it will be at MY convenience, as I am disabled. Some days are pretty good, some are horrible.
Starting bid: $15,000
PayPal, cash, or direct bank transfer only. I am near the Canadian border in upstate NY, so obviously I will also sell to you in Canada provided you assume all customs fees, taxes, cross-border fees, and take care of the paperwork yourself. I will gladly meet you on the US side of the border for the exchange.
