The key is going to be retrieving asap when the water starts leaving. The electrical will be problematic, but the mechanical parts should be able to be saved if dealt with quickly and properly. Dry and oil everything as soon as possible. I have sunk a couple trucks in my time, and they fared ok...
I don't know for sure. It was originally a Malibu car that the previous owner started converting to a SS. I bought it with a bunch of parts to help out with the SS I have. The body and frame was all good, so decided to make this one my go fast car. Now I don't have the time or interest to go...

I am wondering what it would cost and who to use to ship one or two trucks from Mississippi to Maryland. If you are a shipper, I can PM details. Thanks in advance.
I am a little more awake now, so let me explain further. I traced out the air lines underneath, and there is no shut off on the service line to the rear, like my other trucks have. There is a fittng that looks similar to a coupler where the elbow is in the rear. I am wondering if somone removed...
Hmmm, there was a fitting there on the rear that I am now wondering about. I wonder if who ever removed the shut off valve placed a check valve there to keep it from dumping air. That could explain the light pulse I felt.
I have some questions about the operation of the service brake glad hand connections. I was looking at a M813 today, and was thinking of using it to flat tow a M818 that has engine problems. When I went to check out the glad hands on both trucks to see what I would need to hook up the brakes to...
Contact local farmers and dyi guys. That's what I have done, and accumulated 400 plus gallons so far with a few hundred more gallons to go get. That was all come and get it for free deals.
I saw one at Meade when I was recovering a Deuce. That guy was pulling a M105 with a 2wd short bed Nissan p/u, one of the older really small trucks. I asked him if he realized the trailer weighed nearly 3,000 lbs and he just shrugged it off. Glad he was going the other way.
The girl friend really liked the idea of it, and I think she was working on the truck driver more then me to leave it. Later she asked what it would cost to get one. Maybe I should call or stop by the company and see if they ever have any reduced priced blems lol.

It's a fold out kitchen unit, built for the military by a company about 20 miles from me. Brand spanking new, fresh from the assembly plant. Unfortunately it's not mine. The truck was stopping to pick up some equipment I sold. I tried to talk the driver in to 'loosing' that load:twisted...
The rockers, inner fenders, and wheel wells seem standard rust areas on these. At least the parts are cheap to fix them. I have two that will be getting the same treatment. Have fun with the new truck, I love mine.
