    5 Ton Dump Recovery Mi to IL

    Just got back from my first recovery, a 1974 M818 converted to a dump truck. Truck was in good shape and road ready. I even made it down to visit Rodney in Marshfield WI and he set me up with some nice 14r20's on combat rims. Glad to have her home and in the shed after 650 miles.
