How much to bid: 1975 Oshkosh

Screwzer2 · 05-19-2006, 04:02 PM

Damn, pull the sandbox off the back and this sucker would be a mean crawler. Goes on auction tommorrow accross the street. Whadda ya think? Maybe 2K for a 4x4 BEAST!

Ummm... Beefy transfer case:

A few leaves on the front axle:

Shoulda got some photos of the inside. There's transfer case levers everywhere, plus plenty of hydraulic controls. Full set of chains come with it.

Wonder if they'l throw in a plow blade?

I don't think that would make an awsome crawler at all.

Davethorik · 05-19-2006, 06:26 PM

Buy it anyway. Try $500!

wheres the auction at?

You could always sell off the sand box fer some dough-maybe even to a losing bidder if you were to buy the rig. Awesome looking beast. Could be a great help to bring rock, etc. on trail repair days on the Con fer example.

At least with that, load or no load, the milage doesn't very too much!

Close to what I'm thinkin'. Would make a great flatbed.

yeah, otherwise you'd kill your wallet makin' a cage for that!

hell, it would make a unique resto project. a local guy did an oshkosh over for a work truck, and i damn near pitched a tent in my pants when i saw the finished product.

Well, the Oshkosh went for a suprising $3,000 even to a local lumber company. To soothe my loss, I bought a 5'x5'x1' vaccuum press, originally used for signmaking. Includes all the official county vinyl and lots of letters and numbers.

I plan to rework the vaccuum chamber (it has 20-375 watt bulbs in it) into a pressure molding machine for making my own molded plastic parts. This beast runs on 50 A 220 V, and can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

Not bad for $125.
