    Bobbed with shortened original bed?

    I think there have been several bobs using a shortend stock bed. If you use a M105 trailer bed you have to make the driveshaft a little longer so the rear axle will line up with the middle of the trailer fenders. I used a little factory built flatbed on mine.

    Wreckerman's excellent adventure at Ted's Trucks

    I didn't get a picture of the bird....I think it is an old Russian one. Fort Rucker (Army chopper training center) is close by and I suspect Ted got it from there. The guy has the goodies. I think his prices are high but fair for some of the rare stuff he has.

    Pictures of fifth wheel wrecker boom

    We called them "Holmes Kits" when I was in. The Transportation unit next to my old unit at Fort Benning had several of them in their recovery section.

    Top 10 Low Pass Fly-By's

    The guy getting smacked by the plane reminds me of the scene in "Catch-22" when the guy on the raft out in the lake gets cut in two by a plane buzzing him. Maybe somebody can post it.

    injection pump?

    Are you sure you have fuel to the injector pump? If you have fuel and air she should start. When you flip the switch you should be able to feel the in tank fuel pump vibrating. There is a bleeder valve on top of the secondary fuel filters. Open the bleeder valve and turn on the...

    This newbie is done!

    Don't forget the Dodge pickup trucks that had the 318 gassers in them. We had one in a unit I was in and it was a pretty good truck but it also had the 24 volt system in it. It is technically an MV and (in my mind) would be a good daily driver if you can find one in good shape for a...

    This newbie is done!

    Unfortunantly that series of trucks is prone to electrical gremlins....always has been. I wasn't fond of them when I had to drive them in the Army and never had the urge to own one. Maybe you can find an MV that is more user friendly and doesn't attract the attention of Mr. Murphy so often.

    ...a STOLEN periscope..

    A piece like that would prob be hard to fence......would not be surprised if someone tries to sell it back to you after it passes through a few hands. And like stated in one post...it may have been someone that just wanted a piece of history. Still, it takes a low down rat bastage to steal...

    How many deuces on a trailer?

    You can get two deuces on a 53 foot step deck trailer......I shipped two back from Arkansas on one. They might squeeze two on a 48 footer if neither had a winch but it would be tight. Weight is not an issue with two deuces on a commercial vehicle...it will not be close to the 80K max.

    what should i do. drive or haul it.

    I agree that 4-5 bucks a mile is high....the hotshot guy that delivered my first deuce back hauled it for about 2 bucks a mile but he had delivered a load near Fort Jackson where it was located. He did not have to deadhead very far to pick it up. Since it is a private sale maybe you could meet...
