Rare Deuces ?

[Stretch44875]

Didn't the LST come from Greece? Should have loaded that yard before they left!

Yes the LST325 in Indiana was a greek return. Wonder if I can locate my uncle over there and see what I can do about getting them home. Hmmmmm.......

Isn't Greece having all sort of financial problems? How 'bout loading up some of those rare MV's and we'll bail them out of their hole....

Now if we can only get that half million gallons of fuel from the Costa Concordia.

If we go we can snatch the engine oil and the fry oil from the kitchens too. We do have multifuels after all.

Is this the yard that has M35's piggybacked as far as the eye can see? Been searching the web with negative results.

It doesn't look like the same yard because it is showing mountains in the back ground, the
one with duces stacked piggyback are in the Netherlands.

Last time I passed through Greece, we flew back on an empty C-17. The M60 could have been my luggage!

 

[Jim Hunter]

Last Sunday the weather was very bad and visit to the yard was not possible...
I hope to be there this Sunday to get the photos guys!

I know there no chance of me owning an M60 but I would volunteer to help with the recover the rare ones. Wonder if there is a M48 tractor in that group?

The Caretaker of the Legend....

Greetings from currently not so sunny Hawaii! It's time for part 1 of the Walkaround!

 

[Stretch44875]

That's the ONLY truck I would sell my M108 for... Or another M60 in good shape.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Wonder how hard it would be to create an M60 clone from an M108?

 

[mattg2448]

Whats the difference from a M108 and M60? But i would love to have a deuce wrecker!

 

[73m819]

OH please tell me that YOU added the ONE and it looks likes ONLY m60 to the WRECKER COUNT POLL in the thread of the same name

 

[M109808]

Main difference between the 108 and 60 is that the M60 has a lip around the wrecker bed. Much like a contractor's truck. It looks like the side of a deuce bed chopped about halfway. (Look at the last picture in my above post.) The 108 is more like a flatbed. I also believe that the M108 lacks the rear winch found on the M60. PS I'll add it to the poll as soon as I'm done typing this...
