As for insurance, ask your auto insurance company. Mine has a grace period when I buy a new vehicle where they will cover it for a short period even if I don't notify them. Call yours and ask. I would get liability only because even if you hit something, you aren't going to cause much damage...

Sounds like the batteries might be saved. First, get a rubber hammer and whack the sides of the batteries to loosen the sulfates then see if they will charge.

An M103 or M105 trailer could easily be made into a shop trailer.

And insptected trucks for SOMEBODY, but I forgot who. PM me you bought an M1009 4107-3655 and some deuces. For some reason I felt the need to inspect 4107-3679 but no one asked me to. If you bought that truck, PM me and I'll give you the quick and dirty on it. Anyway, they have got a self...

Most military guns are parkerized. It is a process where either zinc phosphate or manganese phosphate is deposited on the steel itself. The color can range from medium gray to flat black. But it will work ONLY on regular steel, not aluminum or stainless steel. Go the cheap route and get flat...

Similar to the salvage yard 'storage lien', I believe that most states allow a shop (and maybe even an individual) to put a mechanic's lien against the vehicle. You said that you have fixed it and put your money into it, therefore you have a lien against it. This is probably a slow route to...

Seeing all these great pics is getting me PUMPED! I can't wait to get mine home and start on it!:not worthy:

The dog bone does seem to be a bit of a weak spot. I was thinking of that type of mod myself.

Yea, STEELheads! rofl

If you put a new shear pin back in and pit it in reverse, you can easily back out the winch.

The more i am around bit green trucks, the more I appreciate the simplicity and utility of them. With just a little TLC, they will run practically forever.

You ought to be able to get one cheap from one of the guys here who bobbed theirs and have the dog bones left over.

Man, to have one of them on a deuce.......... mmmmmmm, JUICY!

$4000 for a 5 ton wrecker? Man, you darn near stole it!

Tips: 1. GET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE INSURANCE! 2. Get a good cushion for the seat. You will need it. 3. Get some of the Bose noise canceling headsets that still allow you to plug in a radio. 4. Plan on taking at least 5-6 days. Many years ago I made the trip from Whidbey Is to a small town in...

Why not use the stock PTO. IIRC the PTO has an output shaft on both the front and back.

Watch for some trucks on Government Liquidation down in Barstow.

I called today and they FINALLY seem to have an inventory. My four trucks are there. Going to look at them next Wednesday if it isn't raining.

And when you call up to ask what the status is, they will still tell you that they have received nothing. But I have a receipt!", you say. Umm, so what? They don't care anything about doing a good job. I have a feeling that my EUC has "never been received" because some bozo forgot to put...

Yes, it was to make it compatible with the other military vehicles. And realm is right, you use half the amps while cranking on a 24v system.
