This trailer was on the same sale as my lowboy. I could not find any information on it but intended to bid on in. Its not in Davids book. It closed an hour ahead of my trailer and I did not pay close enough attention to it. It closed at $335.00 before I noticed. Now after seeing it I am...

I won this trailer on GSA this week. It has US Army painted on it and looks like it was green. I saw one that looked like it in the Vietnam pictures that was posted. Its payload is 70,000 pounds. FSN is ACVC-166105 and the contract number is DAAE07-70-C-0096. Other than being rusted its in...

I took lots of pictures of the trucks in the scrap yard close to me. There may be some stuff some of you need here.

Are these spades on this much newer wrecker the same as the ones on my M543???

I took my light switch apart today to try and figure out why no power comes out. Of course when it came apart the contact points fell out. Theres two contacts with three dimples and three contacts with two dimples. Can someone tell me where each goes. The tech article by liljohn won't open...

Does anyone have any spare rings to fit the older M543 wrecker. They seem to be smaller than the later version. I have several that I salvaged from a wrecking yard but are to big. I have these complete with tub for trade or will buy.

Almost finished painting the 813 Cargo. Ran out of paint and waiting for a gallon from Rapco. Its green 383 CARC. Were there any camo patterns that used this green as the base coat? Anybody got any suggestions on what markings would be best for this vintage truck. It was five color camo...

I just bought a pintle hitch on a GSA sale and don't know what it fits. Its new, still in the crate and very heavy, probably over 100 pounds. Can anyone tell from the NSN what it is supposed to fit?? NSN 2540-00-877-7157. I did a search and all it will tell me is pintle hitch.

Its watermelon time in Ga!!!!! Got some pictures of the 813 being loaded for a 25 mile run to deliver 400 watermelons. Its two o'clock in the afternoon and 95 degrees HOT!!!!!. I had promised delivery by Three and my guys are working hard. One picture shows the driver, my foremans wife. The...

While checking out my 543 wrecker and the 813 cargo to see if a PTO on ebay would fit I made a shocking discovery. The 813 is under a shelter where we are slowly sanding it for a paint job. When ckecking out the transfer case to see if the PTO would fit I noticed that the speedometer drive...

Any ideas on what this tool kit is?? It was under the passenger seatof my 813 cargo when I bought it. Fan shaped pieces with a slot in the wide end and threads to screw it onto something. There is a small hole like an orifice inside the hexagon shaped piece and it is threaded also. They are...

trying something new.

Had a flat on the M151 couple of days ago and had to hitch a ride home. Good excuse to use the wrecker. May be over kill but I had fun. Still learning about pictures so I hope this works.

Finally I think I have the picture thing figured out but the pictures are small. I'll have to work on that. This is my 1970 Kaiser Jeep M813 that I got on a GSA sale. The truck was in great shape with practically new tires and a full tank of diesel. One tail light bulb had to be replaced to...

Trying one more time. Maybe this time. If it does I will tell my story as a reply.

I am trying to learn to post pictures. Bear with me. Looks like this might work, so if it does this is my 1970 Kaiser Jeep M813 That I got from GSA.

JohnnyReb You out there? Have you tried tonight???

Started last night and is still the same tonight. I get a green screen, then it changes to white, trys to load three times and quits. Last night sometimes I could read what was being said and people knew I was there but could not post. The header said I was in but on the right side it said...

I just found a vinyl cover on e-bay for my 813. No bids yet and the guy wants 299.00. Sounds like it is in good shape and maybe never installed on a truck. He states what damage it has was caused by handling. It has both end curtains. Does age affect these like canvas or should it be alright...
