Sourcing TGB

Post by AppleTech »

What are yall's recommendations for sourcing TBGs? I have wanted one for years and am starting to come into the place where I can consider purchasing one. My main goals is Aluzinc Body and the 4x4 enclosed top version. Driveline I'm less worried about as I know my way around Volvo motors and can easily rebuild them, or even replace in the future.

I work from home, wife has a nice daily driver. I'm looking for something fun for me that can also double as a SHTF vehicle, which I think the TGB fits nicely. I also love 4x4ing as a hobby and the TGB would be perfect for that as well. Just curious where you all recommend sourcing them from? I've Googled around and found "classifieds" aggregators but so far no responses to those posts and they seem to be very old postings.

Any help is appreciated - thanks in advance!

AppleTech,
I suggest you contact Thomas Schwagerl in North Carolina. Easiest way to contact him is via Facebook. W
Where in the US are you located?
Take care.

Phil,
I purchased a low mileage 1975 TGB1314A two years ago and would easily do it all over again. He lives in Randelman, NC and has a nice selection of trucks.
Take care.

Thanks - I think doing the same is what I need to do. I want a good base to build my own truck off of. I don't want one already done that seem to be reselling around the internet.
