    What did I stumble on, Deuce or 5-Ton??

    That is a second Sergeant Missile warhead trailer that someone put a blank data plate on and stamped in some VIN info. That is my guess anyway. OD Dave, you do not want those wheels, they are 18"!

    m211 rescue

    Nice! Does the data plate say M211? The hood registration number would not have begun with zero for a cargo truck. Hope it cranks up for you, if someone was wise enough to drain the gas, it just might.

    What did I stumble on, Deuce or 5-Ton??

    What a treasure trove!!!! The trailer is a XM527 made by Freuhauf in 1963, it is the warhead transporter for the Sergeant Missile system. I thought I was the only one that had one of those. It is a 6 ton, would have had the single 11.00-20's. Looks like a second CCKW in the field across...

    What did I stumble on, Deuce or 5-Ton??

    Could be 1950's to early 1960's, could be International or Diamond T. Gets about 4 mpg maybe. That is as nice a condition as you can find.

    U-Haul Overhaul: A Story of Recovery and Repair

    See the DTID decal on the bumper? They came through a DRMO. Have fun paying the $400 bonded title fees for each one.

    FWD Wheel mount Military crane

    Garwood M20A for sure. He will not get 7000K except across the scale. It weighs 60,000.

    The PD owes you a negotiable title. It their responsibility to get a title in the PD's name and then sign it over to you. Not your problem.

    ldt465 engine paint recommendations

    Yup plently of times, using sand. Just seal everything really well. The commercial blaster I USED to use would sand blast engines in loaders, etc, with the engine running. I don't recommend that.

    M416 Build (advice needed)

    What is wrong with your floor? Looks OK in the pics. Minor rust holes can be fiberglassed up. I would try to weld the tailgate piece back in if it were me, might be just as much work as welding in a whole new end panel. Too bad he did not use a Sawzall when he cut the tailgate. It will be a...

    ldt465 engine paint recommendations

    I painted my LDS with Gillipse 24087 back in the 90's and it still looks incredible. The exhaust manifold and turbocharger turned a burnt red color.

    Steering Wheel Issues

    Remove the nut, soak splines in penetrating lube for a day, then beat on the underside of the wheel with a hammer. Obviously for a wheel that is going in the trash.

    Title change, H7 F7? Lingo help?

    The condition codes, F7, etc have nothing to do with the auction sale. Those codes are just additional information passed on to the buyer, generated by the unit that turned in the item for disposal. Lots of times they are incorrect. Good luck and welcome to the site.
