    Has potential but all I'd want is the cab and frame.

    Decent price for a change.
    Missing items but most of these get cannibalized anyway.

    Those rigs were run at the red line all day. They must be rugged little engines.

    The crank from those engines is sometimes used to make a Datsun 280z engine a stroker.

    I remember getting the factory notification that Jeep dealers would be responsible for any warranty requests for repairs from the Air Force.
    The Air Force would be responsible for getting the unit to the dealer.
    It was fun watching 18–19-year-olds hauling a unit in with the rear axle raised, the front axle on a dolly, behind a tow truck that could haul a big rig tractor.
    Of course, the repair was for diesel engine work which we weren't trained on or required to perform. It would have to go to Nissan for that. They showed up unannounced.
    I advised the uniformed lads that no point in disconnecting and dropping off here.
    The typical military response: "Our orders were to leave it here".
    Umm...can we call someone in your maintenance command? Ignored me and unloaded it.
    It sat at our dealership for another two weeks before the AF came back to haul it away to Nissan.
    The AF also got a bunch of 1981/1982 CJ7s for the MPs to use on the bases. They tore those up pretty good.

    Great fuel economy, gutless as hell, turbo version in the scouts were a little better but still gutless as hell.

    Not only 2WD, they were locked in low range. Yes, these were purpose built tugs.
