Beautiful trailer and nice score. A word on the age (for the SF97). The tank on the trailer might be from 2000, but the chassis is early 80s at the newest. You can tell by the tie-down points on the rear corners and the front A-frame. I am attaching pics of my trailer to see the difference...

My suggestion...get it shipped. If, as with most everyone else who drives a truck out, you are trying to save some coin, at least invest in getting the truck shipped to a location off-base where someone can do a good inspection and either you or that person can do a full servicing on the truck...

I agree...beautiful job! You should go into business restoring trucks!

Forget price when looking for M108 specific items and just be happy IF you can find what you need.

My expectation is that the tires will dry rot, or you will sell the truck, before you wear them out. Are you planning on putting thousands of miles on your truck? If not, and you can protect the tires from the sun as best you can, they should last you a long time. Bjorn (CRANETRUCK) has...

I think Bjorn covered this in a previous post. I can't remember the topic, but you might try searching under CRANETRUCK for his previous posts...or PM him.

Crazy as it sounds, it could be a clogged fuel filter. I had that happen once on an M1009. Under load, I guess the pump pulled enough fuel through. Coming down to idle, it would stall. I changed the filter and it went away.

Beautiful. FYI...those tie down straps are not correct. It is supposed to be bolted directly to the trailer. It is a quick fix. If you want pics, I can send you some of my CBS shelter mounted in my M105A2. You are lucky that I did not see that baby...and that is why guys should not post...

When you call to get insurance, make sure you tell your insurance company that you plan to drive it home 3,000+ miles (!!) and see if you are still insured. I doubt you will be covered if you have collector/historic insurance. Guys too often throw caution to the wind to save a buck. Wayne...

POWERHOUSEDEUCE told me the bridge plate should always be set to 69.:)

Best advice...get it hauled.

There are other Blazers out there. Your injuries will heal and, as you said, thankfully your son is fine.

Beautiful truck. I love the multifuel 5 tons. Most guys don't appreciate them because they got into the hobby after most had already come out. When you say "5 ton" to most guys, they think about the M809 series. While the M809 series trucks are great, the older multifuels are less...

You could try John Winslow. I buy all of my filters like that from him.

Nice looking tires, Adam! ;)

Search on bridge plate on ebay or GOOGLE. Or, go to TNJ Murray or Saturn Surplus' web site. You should be able to find one. They go for anywhere from $15 to $50. If you are lucky, and you can find one in the $15-25 range, you will have done well.

The M35 is one of the vehicles that make up the M44 series.

Derrick, I just received an email from a friend (also a SS'er) who told me that he received the same notification that you received. Either I received it and discarded it without reading, or I did not get it. Either way, others have received the same notification that you did.

I have purchased several trucks for more than $15K and I have never been questioned...EVER...including in the last several weeks. I am not saying you are wrong. I am only telling you how I have been treated.

I'd love to see pics of the trailer if you have any. Thanks!
