Ron, thanks for the tip. I noticed that the holes where mine was mounted are a little wallowed out, likely due to the reason you mentioned. My buddy is now theorizing that that might have actually been the failure mechanism, that is the plate came lose, whirling around and broke everything apart.

C&C, thanks, any parts you might have would be very helpful at this point. The central support bracket worries me, but I'll tear into that on Saturday. Off to San Fransisco for two days for work. :cry: There were quite a few nice looking trucks up there, got to keep an eye on those auctions I...

I poked around a bit, looks like they are referred to as the 1710 series, good to know that there might be other stuff out there! From pirates4x4 board: U-joint - Rockwell #15NIF Flange - Rockwell #18N204C Weld on yoke - Rockwell #16N73MFB Slip yoke - Rockwell #16N188C I believe I'm after...

The bed is 20'. Once the driveshaft issue is corrected it will be time to prep the body work and a new coat of paint is in order I think!

My buddy and I are engineers by schooling, which doesn't mean too much, he's a mechanical and I'm and electrical. He does alot with materials now that were out, for the past 5 years or so. His guess on the how goes something like this. The rear wheels were free spinning some how when suddenly...

2nd set :razz:

First set of photos. :-D

So I loaded up the SUV over the past few days with all the needed items I could think of and what I had found suggested here for recovering a 5-ton. This was a M814 listed in Drexel, no start, so I assumed dead batteries and took along a pair. Morning started out not too early, 6:30am from...
