Probably the insurance paid off and ended up with it. I remember the story but not the out come.

Good to have spare parts Ray. Since you have the big tires, how about a bobber?

It was bought at auction from state farm, the yard owner deals in semi truck parts and i think didn't know the market for mv's,i ended up giving him what he had in it.

I thought about about a bobber!! But i have enough projects!

It has lots of goodies that will help other trucks live on. Parting it would be just as good. You can work around the salvage title but why hassle with it.

Hey Ray here is the other set of pics. This was a great recovery but I almost paid with the tip off my finger, lol.

Good job AJ! Thanks for all the help!

Nice recovery - glad you kept the fingertip. Looks like some good pats on the truck for sure. Let me know when you get ready to sell off bits; dibs on the heater, front bumper step and air intake with extended elbow

I found this article in the Feb 2010 - issue 137 of the"Military Vehicles Magazine" of this same truck
In the last paragraph of this article it states: "full Rockwell air lockers in the front axle".

Sorry for the upside down pic.

Prolly meant air shift T-case.

Ya,that's what i figured. Air locker diff's would have some kind of air line assembly attached to them,right? I didn't notice anything like that.

Yup. I say that cause when I met him at the Ga rally, he didn't have much mechanical knowledge about the truck.
