truck chassis remove video

I will be posting pictures soon. Also a video on UT. Here is a picture I found on the net to show what it was like when in one piece, not how it looked at the scrap yard.There was no cab on it, and the pumper body was scrapped and pump sold for the brass (1500 pounds worth!!!) I managed to get...

I called the owner, and asked for permission before going and taking pictures, he was good enough to let me loose and look it over, probably for the last time. I was told later it was sold . The big blue can, was the"in cab gas tank" not military issue I'm guessing!!!! The rest speaks for it's...

More pictures of "former pole setting truck"

Water pump numbers. I know this been here for awhile, but I just went to order a water pump from this parts list, and the CP-36 number, does not come out to (cross over)the water pump we have. Did I miss something, or is there another number to order from. Can anyone help me here, because I...

Navy Fire Truck Nice to see other military hardware out there! I don't want to hijack your thread I just want to mention something that might help. I have a 1957 International fire truck chassis that was used in Saint John's Newfoundland on an Canadian armed Forces base, and ended up in New...

Former pole setter This is the truck now, "bobbed" and very heavily modified.

Crying shame!!! The reason for the sale, the owner had passed away and those handling his estate had to dispose of all assets. They were HAPPY to get $200.00 for the truck, because they had thought it would have to go out as scrap because who would want a thing like that!!!!!!!

https://youtu.be/Uccc_DX66SU Here is a video of the last M-135 I found, needs lots of T.L.C., but is mostly all there.

Different model G-749's Hello Plowboy, The picture you submitted with the truck mounted pole setter, is what I have been looking for for some time! There was one at my current address years ago, and sold for ..............$200.00 ............complete, with all tooling, truck repair...

Would be welcomed, for sure.

M 135 "road warrior" I'm sitting here trying to wipe the drool off the keyboard! That unit sounds pretty darn good! When you were on the "open road", I thought you were doing something like 50, then you showed the speedo, and were doing 30!!!! the revs are sure high. It seems to shift ok, I...

Muffler suicide Plowboy, I don't think that idea of drilling a (big?) hole will fix this problem. The problem is only when you rev the engine up mid to high rpm, and then quickly close the throttle, causing a rich, mostly or completely unburned mix to go out the exhaust. THEN, when it...

Once the pattern is made, (the hard part) production will show the short cuts you can make to faster, better production. The market is out there, it will sell.

Bumper Markings I will as soon as possible, I don't know if in Canada they did the same practice, but I'll scrape and see!

Saving the remaining few. There are some still around, but either people are getting wise to the scarcity of the type, or are just plain greedy, but the prices for the condition you find them in is really starting to creep up fast. Last one in my yard cost $2500.00 plus delivery, and...

I know this is an old post, but have to say you did right, save the old iron!!! I do the same thing.

Future tear down I just wanted to mention that I haven't forgotten to post stuff on my M-211, I am currently occupied with a project I call "Military Wrecker truck"....( a 1957 4x4 FWD fire truck chassis fitted with a 30.000 pound winch with possibly a M-135 cab and front clip) ,or a 1950 L-110...

Salvaged m-211 The "round thing" next to the steering wheel, is the 24v, military version of today's trailer brake controller. With all that was smashed on the cab, that survived intact. I wondered about it too, and once removed saw the various settings you could select. I'll take some...
