    M916 conversion to 2500 Gallon Tanker/Pumper for a volunteer fire department

    You might want to rethink winch removal. You will eventually stick the tanker and it will be really hard to extract. Been there, didn't get a tee shirt. I've been a VFD member for 30 plus years.

    Bad day for an M52A1

    Sorry to hear that. Even if you get a good replacement truck, there is still all the labor and expense of fitting out for fire service.

    Vin frame number location?

    Older vehicles won't have a 17 digit Vin. How can vehicles from the 1960s and earlier get registered?

    1952 REO M41

    I certainly hope the 6602 engine will retained. They are great truck engines in my opinion. Even just idle they have impressive torque.

    Where to look for M35s/M109s?

    The DMRO system worked fine. I bought 3 M37s and one M211. Look at the stuff and mail in your bid. Nobody getting a cut of your money .

    M51A2 trouble shooting

    I think the clutch lining has broken loose and wadded up between the pressure plate and clutch disk. Have seen this issue a couple of times. Gather clutch replacement parts.
