I have an excellent condition truck for sale that is perfect for an expedition truck conversion. Here are some highlights. I have attempted to get good pictures of everything so that it will show the condition of the truck as well as the options. I have included the original build sheet, with the codes, in the pictures. The truck is located in San Diego California. It is registered, insured, and titled in the USA.
  • Mercedes Benz, 1991, 1222A
  • 4-Wheel Drive, Lockers on Wheels
  • Less than 101,000 kilometers (62,000) verifiable, original miles.
  • This was a service truck (workshop) for the German railway. It was not a Army truck that was abused or ambulance or fire truck, which in my opinion has some hard miles on them due to the instant start and stop without proper warm-up.
  • White Color from the factory and original paint. Never any body damage that I can detect.
  • Rear Box Installed at factory when new - height at a bit over 6 feet, width 7.5 feet, length 15 feet (all approximate measures). It is mounted directly to the frame.
  • Rear door. Very heavy-duty
  • Heavy-duty under-the-truck custom ladder for the rear door entry.
  • Skylight on top.
  • Heater in rear area as well.
  • Exterior of box is aluminum.
  • Interior has siding installed since new.
  • Single owner. This was owned and operated by the German government for a mobile workshop for the railroad. Some of the original equipment is still inside, including the Bosch generator.
  • All service records from new in large binders with all details of service.
  • Spare keys.
  • All factory manuals and records.
  • Rear PTO winch factory installed from new.
  • Operable hydraulics (including in the cab handle) to operate a device on the front (I was going to use it for a motorcycle lift).
  • Cab in original condition.
  • No body damage and its never been crashed, repaired, etc.
  • High-quality pneumatic driver's seat.
  • Automatic pneumatic snow chains - pretty cool!
  • All four tires in good condition with plenty of tread life.
  • Everything works and it drives perfectly. I do not know of anything that is not in working condition. I start it and drive it often to keep it all running and in good condition.
  • New batteries of high-quality and kept on a trickle charger.
I personally searched for over two years for a truck in this good of condition, with low mileage, without any rust, with a verifiable maintenance record. I imported this about two years ago with the intent of turning it into an adventure vehicle - it is the perfect platform in my opinion. The importation complied with all USA guidelines and regulations. It is presently titled, registered, and insured as a motorhome. I have simply lost the time to convert it myself - but I am certain it will make a good base for someone who has more time than me! It is parked in San Diego, California. If you are seriously interested, please let me know if you need more details; you would like to look at it; or you would like additional pictures. For people in California thinking of a purchase, this truck is exempt due to weight and year (check the CA DMV website for details:https://www.dmv.org/ca-california/smog-check.php).

Please do not bid unless you are serious and have the funds to buy the truck. Feel free to contact me with any questions (not asking what the reserve price is as this is an auction).
THE TRUCK IS BEING ADVERTISED LOCALLY AND THE AUCTION CAN BE CANCELLED AT ANYTIME IF SOLD LOCALLY.
