All the floodlight parts and some field chock sockets have arrived. Forum member Dead pilot helped me out by picking up and shipping those from California. I can see why the light brackets were left off the later wreckers, they’re heavy and complicated (but pretty cool in my opinion). I sanded...

Dead pilot helped me out big time with some wrecker parts I needed for one of my projects. He drove and picked the stuff up, then disassembled it all, boxed it up, and then shipped it to me. I’m sure it was a hassle and took a fair amount of time. I’m glad there are people like Jason in the...

Took a look at the front axle, I don’t see a whole lot wrong with it. The only thing keeping it from moving was the brakes. Once I got the drums off it all moves just fine. There was a little water in the hubs and a little bit in the diff but not very much at all. The wheel bearings look...

It’s normal for a CUCV. All CUCVs were keyed alike as well.

Did a little bit of tear down on the truck this afternoon. It goes pretty quick when a lot of the sheet metal is going to scrap.

The pipeline truck is definitely nice to have, especially for a lift like the m108 bed which would be a bit tough to hoist with just the big forklift because of the boom. The m108 was delivered today. Looks almost as nice as it did a couple months ago. :) What a beauty! Looks like it had...

The ford showed up a few days ago so we’ve done a little work on that. The crane did rotate (before the hose for it popped of course :wink:) so that’s good. I cut the front tube open to free up some outrigger pieces. They’re not complete but there are some useful parts. At least the rear two...

That style tailgate is found just on the dropside trucks.

Thanks a bunch for doing that, I know those aren’t the easiest to deal with. I might have to look further into adapting those to an m108 if I can’t come up with the right stuff. I have all the horizontal tubes and the base plates but 2 outriggers are missing the adjustment screws and vertical...

If you ever have the outriggers down on both trucks would you mind comparing the adjustment screws on them? I know the outriggers are different but the screws look to be of a similar design. 2 of my m108 outriggers are missing a few parts.

The frames I have are all for the TEMPER tents. Same design as the 16x16 expandable but the arches are taller (temper tents are 16x20). The headers and purlins are the same, not sure how difficult it would be to shorten the arches up to work on the 16x16.

Welcome to the site. Looks like a stainless m149a2 buffalo, the m107 is much older. The brakes will roll free if there is no air in the tank. You’ll want a pintle hook, some chains to extend the safety chains (they’re often too short depending on the hitch), and you’ll want some magnetic lights...

I wasn’t able to find any of those, just the mustache and short springs.

Which of the 3 springs broke? I know I have the “mustache” springs, not sure about the others but I can look tonight.

Ok great. I’ll be there Saturday until later in the afternoon most likely. If anyone else wants ammo cans or anything else let me know by this evening. I have an empty 20ft trailer tagging along so I can bring whatever for stuff, as long as it’s a done deal.

If you scroll down to the bottom of your inbox it will tell you how many messages you have versus how many you can have. I think a premium membership allows you more messages, being a vendor certainly does. Maybe if you were a premium member in the past that allowed you more messages, and now...

Anyone else going to be at the show? I’ll be vending in the far corner of the field opposite the entrance. I can bring almost anything I have listed for sale in the classifieds, and if anyone is looking for the big 20mm ammo cans I can bring those along too. $10 per can, or 12 cans for $100...

I didn’t really want to spend any money on this project yet but I figured I’d better buy the crane specific parts when I had the chance. An F600 with an m108 bed came up for sale and I was able to get it. The crane was installed when the truck was new, and I guess it was on another civilian...

That’s a very generous offer, but I’ll probably end up getting something in the Northeast eventually. I think I’ll try to find an m35 parts truck since I could use the axles too.

Well... it didn’t take as long as I thought it would to get some of the “hard to find” parts I needed.
