Never underestimate the power of a dufus with a welder and a bad idea. :cookoo:

Stay away from my wrecker you rat!!! :x And just where are you going to park this new aquisition? In that huge storage lot behind your house :shock:

Update on the reverse engineering I finally got all of the major components out of of the chemical shelter trailer today. I used every tool in my shop, my entire vocabulary of profanity and what little bit of patience I have. To have been made by the lowest bidder that contraption was...

Somewhere in my 35mm photo archives is a deuce with rail wheels I happened on in Korea. It was being used as a switcher in an army depot where we went to pick up some (then)new 900 series 5 ton cargo trucks. I'll post when I find them.

I know where there are two of these in a junk yard. They have been there a looong time but can probably be bought for scrap price. They are in NE Alabama. PM me for details if interested. They may get cut up in the near future since scrap is so high right now.

I have the same goo on my 70 Duster. It probably saved it from a lot of rust but they sprayed it on wires, fuel/brake lines, nuts, etc. I can't get the marker light bulbs out to change them. You might try acetone, in a well ventilated area of course, since it will suck the petroleum out of the...

Always remember one of Murphy's Laws: If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid:. :D

Clinto...in my case it depends on the accomodations and the weather. If the weather is cool I can do the camping out thing, if not I perfer a motel. If it is near a campground with good showers and facilities that would be a plus. I have some items that I would like to bring to a swap meet. NW...

I'm sure it could have been worse. aua Stay tuned for Wreckerman and Freighttrain's great adventure when we go to Fort Jackson to pick up my deuce. :shock: At least you didn't have to open the billfold for a tow truck. [thumbzup] That sucker is a lot longer than I remember them being. Can...

How much were the rims? Will I have to sell a kid to get a set? :shock:

Area 52......the last time I spoke to the owner 7k was bottom dollar on the Bulldog, it has been a while since then, you may can get a better price if you call. Check all my old post for the contact info.

David...glad to help and glad that someone saved the truck from the chicken house it was residing in. There is still a yellow gasser 5-ton wrecker and a camo Mack powered diesel wrecker that need good homes not far from where David got the pipeline deuce. Check my previous post for pics. If I...

Gives a new meaning to "picking and grinnin". :mrgreen:

Joe...rumor has it that you have some parts you want to part with. :?: As soon as GL (Gooberment Lathargical) releases my deuce :evil: me and Freighttrain will be coming to Fort Jackson to pick it up. We would love to have scrounging rights to your hoard and meet you. :jumpin:

Ferroe.....I think the fuel tank is 50 gallons. If you can find the TM it prob tells. Someone posted the number on the original thread. Check all my posts to find it. I'm going to keep this tank but if I scrap out any more I'll save you one. Will......There are a lot of connetors on the...

I thought that thing looked familiar. :shock: Probably used the old freon and is only usable as a boat anchor now. I may be able to use the clutch for some of my nefarious projects. :twisted:

Emmado...I don't have the specs with me, I'm 150 miles from the shop. I can get them to you Sat. I believe it is a 220 volt, 3 phase. OPCON....the fan motor is an AC 220, 3 phase, I think. I will keep most of the electrical stuff since there isn't much scrap value in it and, as you observed...

I was perusing GL yesterday and saw two identical type of trailers at two different sites. I won't mention which sites to keep from getting torpedoed :shock: One required EUC one didn't. :roll: Apparently at GL the lunatics are indeed running the asylum. :cookoo:

Well, I took all of last week off and caught up on some projects. One that I had been picking away at was rendering the Chemical Shelter Trailer down to it's basic components. I had removed and sold a lot of the aluminum that was strapped on or easy to remove. This time I had to arm myself with...

I am stationed at Fort Benning, Ga. There are some MV collectors around here and one of them has a similar tracked vehicle. It is parked at a local tow company with the owners MV's. If you want to compare notes, PM me and I'll send you contact info for the group.
