Damn..they got two in my area...Benning and Anniston. :shock: I guess they will ship it to Redstone (Huntsville). Your tax dollars at work. :roll: The more I deal with gooberment bean counters the more it reinforces my long held belief that the intelligence is being bred out of the human race...

If I am in the area I will assist any way possible. :) I have tools out the wazoo to include tanks and torches, tanker bar, 1-inch impact tools, etc. I was considering floating a loan to buy the gasser until the old lady said "get enough to pay your lawyer" :shock: .........I hate it when that...

Here by popular demand are pics of "Wreckerman's Skunk works". :D The next addition will be a 1100 watt solar power system that will be installed next month so that the shop will be on it's own power system. Since I am only home on weekends I will probably be selling power back to the Co-op...

There is absolutly no feeling like sending a few thousand rounds downrange from "Ma Duece". 8) We took one with a ring mount out when I was at Fort Benning and fired off 5000 rounds shooting at various targets (unfortunatly some of them were trucks). I still get a stiffy thinking about it. :shock:

They all look like they were rode hard and put up wet. If they go cheap they might be worth it for the parts. So many auctions...so little cash. :(

Neither is multi-fuel. The yellow one is a gasser, the camo one has a Mack diesel. I was told that the yellow one had been cranked about 6 weeks ago just before the owner died. The yellow one still has the foot actuated starter (see pic).

Here are a few additional pics to include the diesel. It was inside a fence so I couldn't get closeups. :(

OK Folks here are the promised and eagerly (I assume) anticipated wrecker pics. I'll post the best. I did some exploring and found two military trailers also. One is pretty thrashed but the other seems to be original. Mrs Battles is a motivated seller but when I spoke to her yesterday she...

Well, that worked well. :D

I'm going to post a test pic to see if I am resizing photos correctly.

You want shop pics? :?: OK....I'll post some Wed. when I get back to my office. But don't blame me if you get "shop envy". :shock: I'll have pics of the wreckers that are for sale too. :D I can't post pics from here. I'm on leave while I finish up the roof over my "office". I'm considering...

I think the idea on the "no headphones while driving" issue was so that the driver could hear emergency vehicles approaching. That gives the firetruck crews a pass. As far as MV applications go since they are loud anyway I would think that having the headphones on might actually help since you...

That Ford has got a big set on it. :D 8)

Many thanks for the replies. I have put many miles on dueces in my military career but I couldn't remember the exact demensions. I have kicked myself in the butt many times over that door and I have to put this one down to "what was I thinking". :? I do have a big equipment shed next to the...

I am putting the finishing touches on my new 24x60 shop (Wreckerman's Skunk Works). :D I designed this building before I got bit by the MV bug and only put a 8x10 roll up door on one of the narrow ends (my office is at the other end). :shock: Will a duece go through a 8 foot wide door? Due to...

Are the mikes "hot"? Can you talk among yourselves via intercom? That would be cool except that I think it is illegal to drive with headphones on. Hummmmm. :lol:

I did have the foresight to equip my new shop with plumbing and a 12x24 heated and cooled "office" that can double as quarters when I am in the doghouse. :D I never understood why we needed to replace 4 year old carpet with hardwood flooring (2 grand) but 500 bucks for a classic International...

I found this site because I wanted a little duece, just a little army truck to play with.....but noooooo. :shock: Now I have to have a big trailer to go with it, a big powered trailer to haul other military stuff back from scrounging forays. You people are demented, devious, conniving...

If it wasn't for the high cost of divorce in Alabama I would be onthat puppy like a hobo on a ham sandwich. :lol: IMHO it needs a set of 6 inch stacks 8) .

I told my sons that my goal in life is to live long enough to be a burden to them and die flat broke :shock: . I told the old lady if she can't get by on the 500k life insurance I have, I hate it for her :lol: . When I am gone the yard sale will last a week. Tools, guns, vehicles, books...
