Thanks so much everyone! I have an 11 passenger van. We could really make a road trip out of it.
I'll keep you all updated at things progress.

I'll attach some photos of the trucks. Some of the best I've seen at auction!
I'll know more when the EUC clears, probably in 1-4 weeks. The EUC clears pretty fast when you have purchased items recently. And I just bought an M105 in Lansing.
I'll post as soon as I know anything.
Thanks,

I won (7) M35A2's at the govliquidation sale in Indianapolis.IN.

I was also looking at...
The crane capacity close up is ~ 7000lbs and all the way out ~13ft is about 3000LBS.
The cylinder operating pressure is 3000lbs
I would like to get a jeep, mule, or mighty mite to carry around in the back.
I wonder what a Jeep weighs?

No, Not "power pro". I worked on KC135's, 455X2B Communications & Navigation Systems Technician. I now run Cat3516's at a CO-Gen power plant in Michigan.
Thanks Mike,
I just got it running again with an engine swap, I also finally built a set of dump bed side racks and installed a canvas top on the rear. I am now working on the front side rack for the dump bed and thinking about end curtains. I'll probably have to have some custom made.
I'll...
Lance ask me to post about mounting a knuckleboom crane. So I'll write a little on the subject.
HI Lance, or anyone interested,
What I did to mount a knuckleboom crane:
My truck was originally a M49 which happens to be a standard length M35 truck.
I removed the M49 fuel tank from...
You may or may not have a good resolution to the zoning issue.
I had a similar experience in my small town. In Birch Run, MI. I live next to one of the village council members. She and her brother are two of the five council members in our town. I store my M342 truck in my garage but she still...
