Then is then and now is now. It was only 5-6 years ago you could buy a running leopard hull in the $14,000 range, or MLVW hulks for a little over 1K. We see very little green released these days. T
he HLVWs are really showing their age as well. Transmissions are very very hard to repair. The Cdn Army is short over 100 transmissions at present, and if the truck is not a wrecker, or a special variant, it will wait a long time for a transmission. Basically, they are driven as long as they will keep moving. Front suspensions have been found to have elongated in both the brackets and the frame. They were a great truck 20 years ago, but parts are becoming scarce and with the relatively small quantity the CF has, it is hard to get companies to produce just a hundred or so of anything.
