Off roadworks just bought some parts trucks. He takes Paypal and ships with all the major carriers. PM him for what he has.....the parts trucks are due in this week I think.

WOO HOO.........I am Wreckerman for real now. Stole one for 3000 bucks......looks like it may be a runner with a little tinkering. My ace mechanic (FreightTrain) should be able to chisel some life into the old girl. I also got two deuces that have ring mount legs on them. I hope the one with the...

The weight of this tent is 7,700 pounds. :shock: Was this a battalion sized tent. :?: How many bubbas would it take to put it up. :?: 6 ready to ship crates???? You'd need a 5 ton tractor trailer to haul it around. Maybe a GP large for us....but not this monster. As for other menu...

If my EUC comes back on the Indiana trucks my plan is to go pick them and my 5 ton tractor up and swing by Knoxville to get the MKT. If I get it in time I plan to take it to the MVPA meet in Mobile the 29th and 30th and set it up. They prob wont allow me to cook in it but I will display it.

For those of you who haven't heard I won a Mobile Kitchen Trailer (MKT) off GL this week. Plans for this unique trailer include setting up a field mess at rallys to feed the faithful. Look for the daily special, "Wreck's ranch raised possum stew".

I am, as mentioned above, deuceless at the moment. I have been lucky with the trucks I bought and resold. All were runners and all were sold whole except for one I parted out. Unfortunatly I made more from it than I did the whole ones so some of my furture purchases may be parted out too. The...

I pulled one from Ark to AL with a towbar. I had my Ranger in the back of the tow vehicle for part of the trip. That is why the military had towbars so vehicles could be recovered without waiting for a wrecker. Just make sure the towing vehicle has good brakes.

Well here is what is left of the parts truck. The engine and radiator are still for sale as a unit. It ran when I started parting out the truck. FreightTrain said it had a slight skip but you know how he lies. It has a whistler turbo and the starter and fuel pump are still on it. If it doesn't...

Dealer retail on what :?: All the whole trucks are sold. The former gasser went to a collector in Auburn, AL. I am accepting bids on the engine/radiator as a unit. If it doesn't sell whole by the middle of Feb I will start parting it out. Turbo is spoken for. Starter, fuel pump, air...

Here are some pics of the carcass of the parts truck. The axles are sold. The engine and radiator are still for sale to someone close since I can't ship it. When I cut the axles off I intend to cut off the front part of the frame containing the engine and set it down on two generator trailer...

We had several of those in a unit I was in at Fort Benning. They were used if we set up an ammo dump out in the field. Ours used the same tires and rims as a M151 Jeep but we pulled them with CCCVs. They spent 99 percent of their time in the motor pool. They were a light set but they could be...

They are actually semi-automatic since you have to manually shift up and down. Once you got the hang of them they wern't bad, the 915's would run about 80 if you turned the Cummins up to 2300 RPM. Their big flaw was that if the air pressure dropped below 80 PSI they kicked into neutral and you...

I bought one from Lavinia, Tenn, a while back. It is a cool trailer and I plan to mount my 280 shelter on it and take it to rallys. When I removed the bed from the deuce parts truck I just hooked up to it and rolled the bed off of the truck onto the trailers. I'll post some pics tonight.

If anyone wants pics of the above parts send me an email addy. I still cannot post pics when I PM someone.

I can't make the Fla. rally since I don't have any vacation time and I am scheduled to work that week. I do plan on being at the MVPA event at Mobile, Al in March. I should have the 5 ton and a big trailer by then. Anything that has not be sold by then will be with me.

The parts deuce has been rendered down to it's basic components and I want to move them as soon as possible. The engine, tranny and radiator are still in the frame and the axles are still attached. It could be towed if anyone wanted the frame and all. The engine runs good and has a whistler...

I would rather fly in a Huey than fu........errrrr eat. I took door gunner training in a Huey in 1973 just after the 101st Airborne had returned from Nam. Those pilots would give you the ride of your life.....and you got to shoot live ammo from a moving bird. After I became a journalist I got...

FreightTrain is from Gadsden and I am just outside of Centre. There are one or two nearby but their screen names escape me. Welcome to the darkside....we have cookies. :twisted: PM us for phone numbers. We can have a mini-steelsoldiers rally.

I guess that tops mine and FreightTrain's misadventure with the Arkansas deuces. :lol:

I just removed a passenger seat from my parts deuce. If any one needs parts or the whole thing let me know by PM. Otherwise it will go into the scrap bin.
