    My "new" HIAB 765A is home

    I find it interesting that the data plate says that the HIAB crane is ONLY to be installed on an M35A2C and both Ethan's and Bjorn's were found on a different type of truck! Way to follow the rulebook... I suppose you guys might not have found them, though, if they had been installed on the...

    Wrecker wiffle tree going rate?

    It sounds like EMMADO and ACE have one or more if anyone is interested.

    Drain Air Tanks Daily

    The only negative thing I can think of with regard to leaving the tanks open is that an insect (e.g., wasp) can make a nest in the petcock. I've had plenty of wasps make mud nests that harden like a rock. Dave, I actually never thought of condensation build up when the truck was not running.

    Wrecker wiffle tree going rate?

    If I come across any more, I'll let everyone know. I doubt I will, however, as all five were on my now-departed M936A2. I'm not sure why they needed five...

    Wrecker wiffle tree going rate?

    I suppose the whiffle trees are just like anything else. The year before, I could not give them away. For that reason, I thought long and hard about even bringing them (they are heavy!). I decided to bring them this past year and probably lowered my price from the previous year. Yes, I...

    Can anyone help me with the history of my 1966 M109A3.

    RE: Re: RE: Can anyone help me with the history of my 1966 M This is very cool. I've had trucks that I suspected had been to the Gulf for the first war and others that I believe to have been there (inverted Vs on doors). However, I have never had this much info on prior deployments...

    Wrecker wiffle tree going rate?

    I was selling them for $35-50 at Aberdeen last year. I HAD five of them...all gone.

    I already asked, Lane. Wayne wants to sell everything together.

    M35 Cab Hardtop vs. GMA insulated soft top

    They are about the same, although the hard top is a bit more quiet and does insulate the cab better. It really comes down to personal preference. I, too, like to take the soft tops off of my trucks. However, it does not happen often...ESPECIALLY in the summer. The time for a soft top is the...

    HEMTT in Convoy

    The other thing to point out is that a HEMTT does not sit very high off of the ground (not ground clearance...but the actual height of the truck). The roof is below the height of an M939 series truck, for instance. Maybe, someone could check the specs if they have the manuals handy.

    Wanted: 900 series cargo truck

    Is this truck needed for a customer (i.e., resale) or for personal use? That would dictate whether I might be able to find you a truck. In other words, if you hope to add $10K to the cost and make some profit, I doubt I can help. If you want to pay retail, albeit at a good price, I might be...

    M275A2 and M447C for sale

    That is a heck of a deal. I know the truck since I owned it previously...it is a really strong runner. I would have thought you could get almost what you are asking for the tractor alone. I'll spread the word, Kenny!

    HMMWV parts

    If anyone is interested, I have a brand new tan vinyl top for a 4-man HMMWV, as well as the complete cargo cover (including all of the framework), for sale. It is all brand new in the boxes. I also have a 10K winch with remote for a HMMWV. I'd take $500 for the vinyl and framework and $800...

    What do you list a 1028 contact truck for the title???

    The easiest way to tell is by the tail lights. The Dodge bodies have the older style round lights and the Chevy bodies have the more square lights. CUCVFAN has additional descriptive info to help ID the two different bodies...

    What do you list a 1028 contact truck for the title???

    I am going to guess that it does not have the welder/generator because it is not a true M1031...it does not have the correct t-case to be an M1031. Also, it has the Dodge contact maintenance body off of an M880 series truck. Nice truck...good luck...and I agree with Chris S...don't give them...

    M139 Restoration Project

    When I was selling my M125, I could not give it away. Now, there are about 10 people who want one.

    Picked up the new trailers at GL Barstow today..

    Jeff is right...they are heavy, difficult to back up (although you can do it with practice) and really can't carry much. However, I have to admit...I like them. I love to look out and see a line of trailers sitting there in my mini-motorpool...although that's what they do most of them...

    M1061A1 5 ton trailer questions

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: M1061A1 5 ton trailer questions N3UKA has one for sale. It is mint. I've seen it up close. I am not sure what he wants...PM him. It was a former laundry trailer unit, but all of the laundry equipment has been removed...except the framework for the top, which is also...

    Picked up the new trailers at GL Barstow today..

    I agree with Mike Pop. It seems the only guys that want trailers are those bidding on GL! I remember when nice M105s sold for $700+ in private hands (heck, I bought one for that amount from Joe Young some years back). Not so anymore...not unless they have fresh paint and a nice cargo cover...

    Those M35A2C Dropsides Sure Look Heavy

    I believe the dropsides are the same on the deuce and 5 ton. I've never really compared them, but I believe this to be true. The difference in the length of the beds is the front two foot section that is stationary on a 5 tonner.
