I placed a low bid on a Deuce at Little Rock AFB today and won it for $1120, are they down that much or were they scared off by the suspension damage? It is worth more that that for scrap!! Now how do or do I need to fix the suspension damage to drive it 70 miles home?

I have been looking for a M52 for a couple of years, now I have found one almost in my backyard. The good part is the truck has been in inside storage as some museum excess up until a few years ago. The bad is they just wanted it for the external appearance so when the engine was found to be...

If you are not checking with your local vol. fire department you may be missing out. A small donation can earn big rewards when there are parts and pieces going to the dumpster! The fire department gets funding and surplus/junk gains new life and the land fill doesn't grow! I stopped by one...

For those of us fortunate enough to be graced with Wrecker ownership covering your bumper vice is one of those little accessories you always want but can never find or afford to have made. I ran up on a really cheap cover option, not a perfect fit but tolarable! I was in a junk yard and...

I was on the local radio Dial-A-Trade plugging MVs when I got a call from a guy tearing down a building. He said it has some Military stuff in it including an old gen set, and that if I wanted it all I could have it for $40, well I couldn't pass up a $40 deal so below is what I got for the $40...

Had an old vice off a wrecker that wouldn't retract the jaw, turns out it was just missing the lock screw on the big drive screw, a twenty-five cent fix, now does it go on the 818 or the 813????

Any one have any idea of what these parts are for? They were under the passenger seat of the M813A1 I won on GSA. I don't think they go with the truck but I am curious what they do go to? I am missing the pins that hold the rear troop seats ti the forward wood work on the bed but this pin is...

The 813 I got last month has in bed tie downs along both sides of the bed, it also has lashing hooks welded to the outside of the bed, I know the lashing hooks are a field addition but were the in bed tie downs a unit addition are were they factory, I have seen beds both ways more without than...

The M813 I won last month had a load of junk and at least two sets of troop seats in the bed. One set looks like they fit the truck, but the other set looks completely different there is a metal frame along the bottom of the seats as if they bolt down verses using the pockets. I really...

Who paid the $39K for the 911 in Ft. Smith Anyone on here buy the M911 and trailer in Fort Smith? Last time I checked was this morning and it was already at $39,000, I guess someone really wanted that trailer!

This is a small difference but I wondered if it is just a in process change in the 15-20 year manufacturing run? My 813(1970) has a heavy welded flat steel grill guard while the 813 right next to it at GSA had a much lighter tubular style grill. One cheaper/better than the other or just...

I was looking at a trailer at a local salvage yard and found these, he had about ten M37 a few years ago, I bought one of them. I guess he kept a few souvenirs.

I have a salavage guy whe tells me he can get be a working M270 trailer for $5-600. I have my M813 there and I can ferry my dolly to the 813 so my next questions is, the trailer is 48 feet long, I don't think my cable for my tow bar light is even 40 feet has any one seen a female connector to...

Any one know what this is? I guess it is real, but I couldn't get close enough to it for a good look.

Saw this trailer just at dark tonight, it's in a cleared off lot going up for sale, so it my be lined up for scraping, I know zip about bigger trailers but it looks like one of the aircraft recovery trailers? Any ideas?

Down in Mount Olive,Ms my 813 is sitting outside the wire DOA. Got there 8:30am this morning, pulled all pms on the truck, replaced the missing oil pressure sensor. Fueled her up, turned the switch , third roll of the engine sprang to life like it had been sitting for two days instead of two...

My oil pressure gage is missing on a M813A1 I have to pickup from GSA, I can only do minimal maint. before moving the truck, I don't know if the gage is just missing or if the wiring is still there. What are my alternatives (quick and easy) I am not running it without a oil pressure gage of...

Driving back from my inspection visit to Mt.Olive in Mississippi I took the following photos of what a farmer had in his back 40ty. The flat head V8 is in a '46 Ford 1 Ton.

I just won an M813A1 over in Mississippi from GSA and of course with them they want it moved right now! Well I know the oil pressure gage is missing, I hope the wire hanging down is to the sensor? And I know one of the other holes near the bottom of the dash was for the windshield wipers, it...

I noticed in the TM the diagram below shows the trailer with two tongues one high one for wheeled vehicles and a lower one of tracked vehicles, does anyone have one of these? I have seen some of the trailers with a boxie something below the lunnette but not another lunnette! James
