See what happened from all the sleeping around I did with hookers when I was off on vacation? I started franchising.
I have my own unit named after me, sniff sniff. I feel all warm inside. Oh wait, that's just gas.
I had one in worse shape last year, it got parted out to those who can use them.
Some trucks and trailers aren't in great shape, and the owners just use them for work. Maybe not museum pieces or parade trucks, but they get work done. Bet you wouldn't hesitate to throw 1,500 lbs of firewood...
After looking over matt1970m35's S-280 shelter, and coming up with further ideas, I've had the following thoughts:
1. No sink or water supply. While convenient for me for camping, I suddenly had a horrible thought about water and a sink on one side of the shelter, and high-end high-voltage...
Loaner trailer from joediveguy is all strapped down with gimpy's crap, er, I mean, quality merchandise, truck is serviced with an oil change and checked everything related to coolant system (it's had issues recently), ready for 530 miles tomorrow. All I need to do is get my camping gear...
joediveguy is coming by tomorrow afternoon with a utility trailer and a cutting torch, so we can start the process of loading gimpy's M101 trailer frame/axle/etc. for the trip out there. Have to remove the scrap body from his frame, then load to the utility trailer, as his trailer frame has no...
Haspin Acres is a big place, but not that big that you'll get lost forever. The main trails are always well-patrolled, and the back areas we only really go out on in groups, so you'll have good company.
When I went there in 2010, I had a M37 with me that I picked up on the way there (eBay...
Two places I have seen:
1. Under the bench seat on the passenger side.
2. If it didn't have a bench seat (instead had two spring seats), mount would be vertical bolted to the rear of the cab, on the floor, between the two seats.
Got no money to invest in it right now, barely making ends meet. Hope to change that shortly, maybe then I'll look into what he has. He's too far from me for the big stuff, though.
Put in more thought about the basic layout. I'm not a tech guru with a drafting program, I just have Windows Paint, but you can see the basic layout I want.
Bottom is the doorway.
Left side is living quarters and related, storage, a place for a microwave, dorm fridge, possibly a sink and...
Nice save! There was one here locally for sale, it was a lot worse than yours is, a parts unit at best. Yours could use some sandblasting and TLC, but another M104 is saved from the crusher!
A word of caution: lots of guys call these trailers "dump trailers", because you can pull out the two forward cargo body pins and dump the trailer contents. THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE MILITARY MANUAL THAT TELLS ABOUT A "DUMP" FEATURE ON THE M101 TRAILER. While you can do this, the "dump" feature...
Items I will be bringing to sell at the rally:
5-ton mud flaps and brackets
deuce/5-ton softtop frame
bunch of storage boxes, various shapes,
some vehicle and trailer manuals
I also have some halftrack parts, I will only bring them if someone requests them in advance.
