Great post! Thanks for sharing, I love these kind of posts.

We headed home from there, but I remembered a huge cottonwood tree. I had not visited it for a long time and way back in the early 80's, I took a photo of my blue Toyota FJ40 in the ditch in front of this tree. It had trunk on both sides of my Toyota. It was a towering monster then, this last 20...

We left the Geary County Lake and head over to Rock Springs 4H Camp. I wanted to get a photo of the M1009 close to the water wheel at the spring house. The boulders were gone from the low water crossing and I thought "Alrighty then!" As I headed to the crossing, there it was, the sign that said...

LOL!! It is D I C K inson County, wow, home of Abilene....

The boys were getting restless and we took the scenic tour of Junction City. If you have not been there, they have some fantastic limestone buildings. The boys were pretty wound up after having the junk yard dog running around their Blazer, so we stopped at the Geary County fishing lake to burn...

We motored into Junction City and on down to the salvage yard. He has one complete Deuce that he was willing to sell. I checked the fuel tank and it looks mossy. The oil was over full and the truck appears to be a compilation of several trucks. It does have a drop side bed and the owner says it...

I see that after the site resized the marker, it cannot be read. I will translate if anybody is interested... Onto Chapman! The Chapman Tornado really changed the scenery in the south end of this town. The old stone church is gone! Tornado Levels Chapman, KS Anyway, the main reason for...

The boys and I went over to check out the deuce crushing that is going on in Junction City. We skipped the Interstate and took the scenic route. After driving through New Cambria and wondering if the old stone barn had anything to do with the Butterfield Overland Dispatch. Smoky Hill Trail...

No luck today, I had heard from a friend that he was in a selling mood. That must have passed....

The big snow storms have been blowing by us north and south. We have not had a really good one for some time. I for one, am enjoying seeing all of these photos. Thanks, Glen

I bought one for ten dollars last week from a guy that was crushing a few trucks. I plan to go over today and see if he has softened up any, if so, maybe I'll snag a couple more. Shipping would be the killer part though. Glen

Looks like it was a nice one..... It is fixable, but it would be cheaper and easier to move the parts to a new tub.

Thanks guys, I suspected so.... I will try to pick this truck up. It looks good, if it runs as good as it looks, I will be a happy camper..... Which I suspect it would be great for! Glen

Older thread, but a good start to my question. Is the M109 the same chassis as the M35A2 or was it an earlier configuration. Looking at a 1965 model, do not want some off the beaten path model that is hard to find part for. Thanks, Glen

I did manage to buy a M1009 wheel for ten dollars, I thought that was cheap. He does have that nice looking, but fairly rusty M1009. I tried to talk to him about the rest of the M1009s and he said he decided not to crush those, he want parts for the one he drives. I am betting when the crusher...

At one time we were talking about a winch truck and another truck, both appeared complete. He said he had a standing offer for 3500 on the one truck, but that guy never came back. He said if I wanted both of them, he would let me take them out of there for 4,000 dollars. I was thinking that...

I offered to buy them at crusher price, remove the small hard to find stuff and let him have the rest back to sell. That was a no go as well. It is a sad deal...

He says he is keeping that truck and in the bed of that truck is what appears to be a two cylinder diesel generator that looks new. He would not price that deuce at all, another deuce with no bed, but in good shape otherwise he quoted me 4,000 dollars. I want one to bob, it would have been...

A few months ago, if that long, I posted a thread about a salvage yard that was going to crush some deuces. A fellow member went over and made contact and reported that there was nothing left. I never went over to check. My buddy with the crusher is over there now crushing about 500 cars and a...

I have been to every corner of Kansas in my two M1008s and enjoyed the trips. I must say though, this M1009 is great for running these no load trips. I can take two big dogs without having one on the floor. The extra ten mph is nice going and coming. I like the shorter turning radius and...
