That's a cool truck, have fun with it ! Since the rear winch is missing you might as well make a wrecker out of it. It should be a neat project.

At 1 or 2 MPG of diesel, I think it is cheaper to get it hauled !

That's looking great David !

I had to look all the way back to page 12 to find this thread. There is finally some news to report on the '68 M123A1C. I travelled to Pennsylvania last month to work on the truck and get it ready for the big ATCA truck show in Macungie Father's day weekend. Since most of the paint and assembly...

You might want to try the G503 forum for help. There are a few Dodge VF owners there. Trucks 1/2 ton thru 2 ton - G503 Military Vehicle Message Forums Your Dodge might look something like this as a fire truck. This is a civilian conversion.

If you make it back to the U.S. you are more than welcome to visit. I didn't have the wreckers in 2014 so you didn't miss anything lol !

Jeff, I spent a lot of time on Endeavour between 2000 and 2011. I was the lead mechanic in the OPF High Bay 2 Aft Shop, we were responsible for everything in the rear part of the orbiter except for the engines. I had the best job in the world, too bad it had to end. Sorry, I don't have any flags !

Here is a link to the ad, there is not much info but I think Jaap is pretty well known in Europe. I met him once here in the states. If you click the "go back" button there is contact info. Jaap Rietveld Stock (milweb.net)

I sent you a pm.

Hello neighbor ! I try to get the Federal to a few local shows but it doesn't like to run much faster than 25 mph so I don't go far. We will have to get together.

Jaap has a Federal C2 for sale on Milweb, there are no photos but it has been listed for several years.

About time for another update. It has been several months now, but back in July the repairs to the Gar Wood slew selector box were completed and the box re-assembled. I did not take any pictures. With the slew selector box re-installed it revealed some more issues down stream which are...

Nicely done Bill !

I'm in !

It's not mine, my truck is being stored at the Wheels of Liberation collection in New Oxford, PA.

No. no paint has been applied to either one of the Federals. Before my surgery I was trying to get the Mead Morrison/Gar Wood US6 crane sorted out, but of course that is on hold now too.

I had a bit of a surprise in September when some tests revealed I needed a triple bypass surgery ! The recovery is quite lengthy so that put the kabosh to any plans I had to travel to Pennsylvania and work on the 10 ton for the rest of the year. However thanks to John Gott there has been some...
