Let's hope so.... Residue/Scrap M818's with no SF97's should not be bringing thousands of dollars, IMHO....

Heck, I'm still wondering why someone would pay $7K (after BP and tax) for an M1028 with a M880 series contact maintenance body swapped onto it. I've seen nice M1031's with the correct body and PTO driven equipment go for less. Granted, the truck was clean, but you could buy from a dealer with a test drive (and possibly some type of guarantee) for less than that!!! For the buyers sake, I sure hope it runs as good as it looks......
