Starting around 1973 or so deuces were turbocharged from the factory and had a turbo different from the common “whistler” and “non whistler” everyone usually has. The one I had years ago had a little bit of whistle but nothing like the true whistler. Perhaps it’s that model as they did have a...

I have a set of bows like that, thought they were for a HEMTT.

No hydraulic work needed, just have to remove the driveshaft between the PTO and hydraulic pump and the two control rods. The pump hangs down a bit so you’ll have to lift the bed higher to clear the truck frame.

I didn't notice any differences between the subframes, beds, or tailgates (except the style of tarp hooks which is probably unrelated). The cab protector is a little bit taller on the m215 than on the m59 I've measured. If you're talking about the rivets on the front subframe mounts then those...

Have you used these yet? People are saying they won’t fit blazers. They definitely won’t fit m1008 trucks as those are 8 lug hubs not 6 lug.

I’d have to find the m62 load chart but if I’m not mistaken the load ratings are the same or very similar for the first 18ft.

Thanks! With both trucks in the yard I had to do it, and I'm happy with the result. Plus I'll probably get a little use out of it instead of having it sit there.

I’d had to have backed the truck up to hit the power line, it was out of the reach of the boom.

It’s 26ft of boom compared to I think 18ft before. Figured we might as well since it’s all here and the m246 is nowhere near operable anyway.

The m246 I bought a while back showed up last week, and as expected it’s a massive project. So while that’s sitting we decided to swap the longer boom over to our m62 wrecker. Nothing was changed that can’t be undone, and it can be swapped back at some point if that ever needs to happen.

Welcome to the site. I use #1156 for the larger bulb and then #67 or 97 for the smaller one. The m416a1 trailer came from the factory with the larger plastic composite taillights as those became the standard around 1970ish. The old style small taillights will still bolt up to your brackets...

Are you sure you need the rotochamber for the m246? I don't see a reason why it would have one as there's no rear winch like the other wreckers.

Thank you. I think I posted more pics of the LCVP earlier in this thread. I had a thread on it years ago but like my others it hasn't been updated in quite a while. We bought that in 2017 about 25 miles away, it was too cool to pass up. It was sold in 2019 and is now in Ohio I believe...

Thanks guys. The extra headache rack was brought home like that a couple years back. I was told the truck was cut up at a junkyard, someone had bought the winch and didn’t need the rack. The yellow m108 bed we took off a Ford f600. It was bought for parts for the one that the engine is being...

Some more pics.

It’s been a while for this thread. Nothing too exciting has been happening with the truck but it’s still being put to work lifting, winching, and towing.

Bumping this just to see if anyone's ever seen another one of these around. I never heard anything back from the manufacturer. It's been hard at work sitting in the lean-to with a jeep trailer on it for winter storage.
