No fire trucks, but I know of one. A gas deuce with front and rear winches.
We have some M923 trucks left. A couple of nice ones and many not so nice ones. Stop by and look around. Sometimes it is a little like Candyland. 8) Glen
I was going to drive mine this morning and opted for the little Dodge tug, I can park my yard four wheeler behind the tug and still stay in one parking spot. That little Dodge sure is handy in the yard. I did drive the deuce to the liar's club morning coffee Sunday. There was a parking lot full...
After a divorce, I lived the summer and fall in my M1009 and a storage unit. 125 dollars a month, shaved and showered at work. You sound like you have it easy in a deuce. 8-)
Did you catch that it is running a 6-53? It is on M135 running gear, they said it always had plenty of power, I would imagine so! They were confident it would fire up and run with a short pull start. It is pretty unusual with that slab back of the cab, like it was made for a sleeper and never...
I forgot to mention, that second GMC does have a military data plate inside the left door.
This thing is a brute, 35 tons of Clark, powered by a 350 horse small cam Cummins.
GMC Diesel 860
I found this truck much more interesting. Like the last truck, they drove it to its resting spot and shut her down, replaced by newer and faster, not necessarily better.
I did some Google searching and found several photos of 860s with sleepers, none like this one though. I also...
This week's business had me making a short road trip yesterday. When the temperatures approached 110, I quit pulling parts and went to check on these trucks I heard about this week. The report of a deuce with winch had me rolling... I was hoping for a M35, but found a M135 and..... a.... I am...
I have a 42" breaker bar that I stand and jump up and down on, it works pretty good. The surplus gear reduction wrenches are the cat's meow for the dual wheels. Nothing does it better than a quality big impact wrench and about 130 pounds of air pressure.
My Milwaukee 3/4" drive 18 volt impact...
We found that the box is great for tools and that backing it up to the side of a five ton makes working on the five ton much easier. The only way to change batteries in a 939 series...
I won a second deuce after being outbid. When the win notification came out, I was the proud owner of two deuces. That is okay, W/W trucks are hard to find and handy to have.
I trailered mine home behind a Cummins Ram 2500 from Omaha, not enough truck. I can confirm the 8000 pounds after many trips across our scales. Neat little truck, a handful to drive though. Mine is a 91 like my old Dodge 350. Like DH, I would like to power my M1008 with it. I may have to look...
It took a couple of days, but here is a quickie of those brave souls from Utah. 105 degrees plus and they are loading up on tires and parts. Glad they made it home safely. Glen
I am going to be the odd duck here because I just have to ask..... Do you have any oil in your coolant or coolant in your oil. Is the breather neck foamy white? Glen
Be careful what you buy, some of them are just sitting on the axles. They were pulled in the middle of the rebuild program. We had a few that were wired together. Most of the parts are there. Expect rusty cables and dry rotted tires. We had over 100 of them, very few worth selling. Like the...
