Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Accademy.:cookoo: Why a 211.....a deuce would be better suited for this conversion and has the multi-fuel capability. I'd rethink that 454 gas guzzeling, boat anchor. But it's your dog and you can whip it if you want to.

Murphy is a rat bastage.

If you are going to take two batteries and a set of jumper cables (very heavy ones) you need a "dogbone" cable to go between them so you can make 24 volts.

PM CSMDAVIS at Camp Shelby....they will prob be parting out some wreckers that are coming off the base right now. The baseplates should be the same for the 900 series wreckers since they both use the same wrecker bed.

If the vehicle has been sitting a long time this can be a common problem. Brake shoes get moisture on them and rust to the drum. CSMDAVIS at Camp Shelby posted on a thread about this a while back.

Any oily mess I make is kept in plastic bags until I need some hot fire starter. WMO burns real hot....it will make green wood burn after a while.....the same goes for WVO.

Joe.....are you confusing the M915/916/920 (400 Cummins) with the 900 series 5 tons which have a 250 Cummins?

If you need parts at Shelby PM me......I have connections. You can have every part you need before you get her out of there.

The deuce is resting comfortably in the yard with some of her green iron cousins. Here are a couple of pics.

Price?????.....Inquiring minds want to know. I have the itch for another "hooker".

I been to three marryins, two buryins, a couple of rodeos and a goat ropin....but I ain't seen nothin like that!!!:shock:

SS member CSMDAVIS can help you recover vehicles at Shelby and hold them until you can arrange shipping.

Many years ago I met an old guy at the Pima Air Museum near Tucson AR......he took me on a tour of the boneyard at Davis Monthan Air Force Base (he worked there). He had been working there since WWII and told me that when the war ended there were thousands of brand new aircraft flown into the...

My souce told me that good wreckers sold for 3500 on the last sealed bid sale. The scrappers are buiying these trucks and driving them out the gate to the chop shops. Engines, trannys and radiators are cut out and the tires are removed....the rest is headed to China on a slow boat.

My source at Shelby tells me GL got their arse kicked on the last sealed bid sales for the M931's and wreckers........appearently they have a steep learning curve.

The recovery went remarkably well except for having to wait to get mirrors installed. Truck had no heater and the windshield wipers (electric) had been removed. It was actually snowing for a while up there but the weather cleared just as we left the truck shop where I picked it up. Truck ran...

No more fenders......CARNAC got the last one.

I like the ambulance....if I were going to get one of those that is the kind I would want.

Jeremy.....you know you have a place to stay if you get to my AO. If you can't get over this way I'll drive down to Shelby and introduce you to CSMDAVIS....he is our guy at Shelby for pickups, inspections and deals on parts. Jeff is a standup guy and someone you'll be glad to meet. If you...

But the "whistler" just sounds cooler.
