Have a blessed day.
Thanks for that.
OliveDrab mentions only difference between M62 vs M543 was boom configuration, but it seems the air breather and spare tire mount vary too.
Thanks, BigMike!
Also, the M543 pics at OliveDrab.com show the front bumper mounted vise in only one shot. The base plate seems to have been standard equipment, but the vise seems seldom present. (maybe a high theft item??? LOL)
Thanks again.

Spotted a Wrecker today and am trying to determining just what M-Series it is.
Here are the two photos I have.
.
Unfortunately, these are the ONLY photos or for that matter the ONLY information I have about the truck.
The possibilities I've considered are:
M816 - NOPE, the Air Breather is...
Glad to see that the "argument" is cooling down here.
i am reminded of a few noteworthy points.
1. The TITANIC was designed by engineers. (Take that however you'd like.)
2. We are all just a bunch of little kids in adult bodies trying to do the best that we can.... The playground (the SS...
A somber reminder. Thank you for bumping this for those too new to the SS to remember.
I pray his passing was not in vain, but a stark reminder that this hobby is actually serious, yes, life & death stuff.
Be safe out there.
Vaya con Dios !
(Go with God!)
I too thought about playing the name game, but bit my tongue.
Now that y'al have started, I simply cannot remain silent.....
Some suggestions:
Taylor the Trailer
- OR -
Omega (the end)
Parts can be stripped from any vehicle not adequately secured.
Vandalism has not yet been mentioned, but is worth your consideration as well.
I personally prefer the idea quoted above. Find a secure location.
You can use the MEMBER MAP button in the tool bar at the top of every SS webpage to...
I am somewhat surprised that no one has yet posted these links to this thread:
The OFFICIAL WD40 website:
http://wd40.com/
WIKI link:

Carry on.
I used my super secret decoder ring and came up with HardWare. Maybe the OP (Original Poster o the question) will chime in and confirm or refute this deciphering.
Applause for the team player you are, Artisan. Sharing expenses on detailed item improvements is a great idea.
Hope you find good partners in this.

Wolfgang,
Our condolences to you and your family.
I pray that the memories you carry will be precious and, in a sense, live on in a different yet similar loving tribute of a military vehicle. Each time you drive or tinker with your green iron remember those you have loved and lost.
Blessings,
John
Weekend Security Detail.....
It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it....

Pumpkin LOVES the XM-818's running board/step and the deck behind the cab. He's been missing the tool box since I removed it to access the fuel tank selector switch. It'll be reinstalled soon though.
WOW !
I agree.
I doubt the Expedition's front wheels would have been on the ground with TWO of those suckers dangling from the back if my 500-600 estimate were accurate. Handling mine one leg at a time solo was sure a task. Sorry if I overestimated.
I doubt I'll have any opportunity in the...
Not to hijack this thread, but a quick reply to your query....

I have never assembled this HEAVY Tow Bar, but these are photos from the Midland (Texas) County Sheriff's Deputy - my point of contact. You can see both the size and how they "shackled" the tow bar o the APC.
Recent FedEx shipment of a Medium Tow Bar WITH its three Pins documents it at 134 LBS.
(Ships as 3 unwrapped but labeled parcels - first being just one OUTER Leg Tube with Lunette Ring; second being the other OUTER Leg Tube WITH the three Pins taped together and then slid inside with the open...
