I remember seeing a wrecker stashed away in the back of a junk yard. so I went back to look for a PTO and driveshaft. Come to find out it is a Deuce wrecker. It is mostly there too. Thought someone maybe interested.

M108 for sure and not too molested. Has civil defense markings too. Judging by how settled the tires are I'd estimate it's been there a while. Would sure like to see it saved.

The wrecker wasn't even the best gem that I found today. While I was there a pretty blonde drove by in a pick up. I thought to myself, Wow that isn't something you don't see everyday! I was looking at a Cummins 300 for donor parts and there she was again. I had to talk to her and what a Angel she is! Picture this a tall blonde with her hair in a ponytail wearing a cotton tank top, blue jeans and work boots. she was chucking big chunks of old wood out of the truck into the woods. now I am really impressed. So I start talking with her and she is cool! In our conversation I tell her about my 69 Harley and she knows it is suppose to be a Shovelhead and she owns a 69 Sporty. Wow! this can't be real! I had to ask her out before she disappeared into the fog, like some unicorn. Wish me luck fellas! I hope she calls :grin: I would have taken a picture but that would just be creepy! Sorry guys

I know plenty of guys that need parts off that truck if you can't get it whole. Outriggers and cab light facing the rear to begin with.

Definitely a 108. It looks more intact than not. Heve you inquired about a price for the hulk? JT is probably closer to the thing but I would love to step up and rescue it. Where exactly is the junk yard located? Do you have a name and phone numger for the prop? I'm in NJ

If somebody ended up getting it and parting it out, I might be interested in the work light mounts on the back of the cab if:

A. They're still usable
B. The price is right (I'm cheap!).



Cool find. There's a 108 in a yard near us that I keep meaning to go check up on.

How on this green earth can there be an M108 in a yard near by and you haven't gone to look at it? Sacreligious Clinto. Can you give me the info and I'll check it out on my way to the rally? PM please, have to keep the vultures at bay.

What is it with all you guys finding rarities all of the sudden? Wreckers, V17s, dumps, oh my!

Someone get it please! Or so help me, I'll win the lottery and do it myself!
