    Atempting to plan a recovery from Tampa, FL to Upstate, NY

    Gotcha. Could be tough with a dually but possible for sure. Might be worth making an offer. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?114599-just-bought-a-M1028a2-dually&highlight=dually

    I was Stuck in the mud

    Sadly, this happens frequently. Many folks join up out of crisis, extract the information needed and move along.

    M135 pto

    I have owned 2 M59 gasser dumps. Both were wo/w. Both had the standard winch PTO with the aux rear drive. This decon unit may be unique to the decon trucks.

    **2014** Florida Military Vehicle Rally**Winter Event**

    Good deal and thanks for the pics. A note on the hills. In Florida those are mountains. In GA they are small, kid size foot hills. In the rockies they are flat spots. The area looks great, much better than swampland.

    It's March 9th. Where are the pics? I've already seen the crack in the ground, where's the action?

    M1009 axles under a M1008

    Did you get 6 lug or 8 lug stuff Rich? Saving an M1008 from the scrapper and making a nice daily driver.

    I was Stuck in the mud

    I'm not up on 5 ton nomenclature but if it has duals you can use the are between the stuck tires as a winch drum.

    G/P Ground

    This must be why civilian heads won't work. Isolated ground heads.

    G/P Ground

    Now I feel like a super idiot. I thought the glow plugs achieved ground through contact of their threaded body to the cylinder head? Gheez.

    Road trip from south FL to NC and maybe Ohio and back to FL

    I will use the overload pack and its spacer. The rest of the springs go to scrap. I see why the guy scrapped the truck. The frame rail on the right side behind the front spring hangar is cracked all the way through. The overload pads from the old frame will be repurposed as well.

    Road trip from south FL to NC and maybe Ohio and back to FL

    Well, thanks to Stonepicker1, SWBradley, Gimpyrobb and all those that I owe a tetanus shot to. The body arrived safe and sound and is not nearly as bad as it was described. I unofficially borrowed ChevyC60s M108A2 to offload the wrecker. The 61 year old truck made short order of the task for...

    Doc's 816 Wrecker

    "Doc's 816 Wreaker" How bad does it wreak? Might try pressure washing it or just wear nose plugs. Congrats Dork Farmerall.

    How do you get the GP card holder OFF mounting bracket

    It's warranted. As much dung as you talk about CUCVs, it's not surprising that they will fight you every inch of the way.

    An unexpected road trip for a GSA generator

    I had a similar incident with GSA. Bought an M107 water buffalo 10 miles from the house. When I went to get it I was advised that it was in Key West 5 hours away. I was going to write it off as it appeared very rusty. After a few calls from Forestry I learned that they brought it north. I got it...
