    M813 Recovery Problem! Help

    Thanks Armada, it was the last vehicle on my wish list, well kinda, it shows a little over 10k miles and I think that may be original, the truck shows very little ware, so it has done some sitting since 1970! I was just glad to get a 5 ton cargo, Memphis Equipment had beaten me out on the last...

    Look what I found in my M101.

    I asked the GSA guy in Mississippi what was up with the deuce troop seats and assorted stuff in the back of the 813 I won, he said he thought one of us could use it and he doesn't have to fill up his only dumpster with it.

    Oil Pressure Gage Missing for GSA Pickup

    That was my first idea but I don't know what is under the dash, I should have checked when I was there but there were six possible auction wins and limited time to look, and it's eight hour drive from home! Is there a cheap option, one I can screw into the block or something I can improvise in...

    I have his number, but the guy who I talked to wished me luck dealing with him, and that I would need it to do any good, so I think you have him pegged.

    will this winch work on an m37?

    Wrong winch for the M37, it looks like a Braden or Tulsa winch. You need a LU4 you may be able to make it work but with the right extension the LU4 is a easy add.

    Theres a hole in my Dash?

    They have plenty of lift trucks but I didn't see a dock, most of their transports trailers were lowboys. They had two really nice contact maint trucks that went for under $1500 from what I remember.
