RE: Re: RE: Bolster trailer recovery My Dad would always tell his story of a panic stop in Germany with a deuce w/w. Comrade stopped short in a VW bug and by the time he stopped he couldn't see the top of the bug. Didn't hit but must have been damn close.

How far into Sconnie? If it's the last one from Ripley the local towing co in Little Falls would be a good place to start.

Sure makes the D7 I used to haul look small.

RE: Museum I'm at Ft Hunter Liggett right now. They are looking for a WWII era vehicle to put in front of their school house. If the track is in that good of shape it's probably not the right fit but I'd figured I'd throw it out anyway.

Not road legal but ag wheels could be found with the 8 bolt pattern. Getting them in a 20" wheel wouldn't be too special.

Hold on there kids there is a difference. I used to work for an industrial clutch and brake mfg. We had one series of wet clutches. When Dextron III came out we had an increase of failures. Once we researched the specs we found Dex III has a lower hot coefficient of friction. Meaning it...

Since you reduced the size of the heater you might want to add another under the dash. I found this at Northern. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_21785_21785

Makes me sick to think my company had a 3126 cat they gave a way for $3500.00 It was an industrial engine on a skid. Less than 100 hrs on it. It was either a mechanical fuel injection or self contained. Like them of not it would have been an easy install.

If the 813 could make the trip have the 818 buyer drive it to you then drive the 818 home. I'm assuming it's in Chambersburg.

So I'm looking for 5 ton. I want a short wheel base to put a flat bed on. I'd rather have an 800 series to get the Cummins. I found an M52 tractor without the 5th wheel. Only one tire is weather checked. Generally in good shape. Must have been taken care of in the military because the dash...

I'm debating my next purchase and a 506 1 1/2 ton interests me. I'm looking for a non original truck I can drop a small block into. I'd replace the engine, trans, and t-case. Will the axles hold 9.00 x 20's and a mild V-8?

One of the local PD loves it. He worked for a house moving company that used MV's to move houses. The State Trooper who lives across the street is cool. Never said a word knowing I hadn't registered it yet.

At least the front springs were done right. My arms ache from just thinking about turning 52"s without power steering!!!!

I knew I should have bought that one locally for $150 back in August. You guys may want to try Erickson's Truck parts in Jackson, MN. They have a bunch on M35's. I've never had the chance to stop in but I did call for a radiator in June. At the time the guy quoted me $250 and he mentioned...

RE: Open House Always the wrong weekend. First year deer hunting for my son. We'll be close. 20 miles west of Albert Lea. Too bad you didn't plan it Sunday we'd stop in for sure. I still want to check out your crewcab in process. Just have to catch you next time.

RE: Re: Possible M1008 For Sale If you weren't so far away.

Don't mind the paint comments. It's your truck and looks good. What mirriors are on it? They look wider than normal.

Re: RE: Re: RE: 5 ton in PA Me too...unless Monty is selling his bobbed 5 ton for a tractor?

Re: RE: OA331 Gasser Conversion to MF I remember my Dad saying that. He ran gassers in Germany. A multi would take them on the hills but on the flat the gasser would outrun them. If you aren't particular about the military look I've wondered if a Ford 300 would be a good gasser upgrade...

All right we want to know the story. Where in Wisc do you live? The flatbed's from Stillwater where I live.
