Vintage Power Wagons, $455 per set. VintagePowerWagons.com. 4.88's are all that is available. Makes for a nice ride at 55 mph.

Zero compression means valves stuck open, not worn out engine. If you take the engine to the machine shop and say "rebuild it to new", they will happily throw away perfectly good parts because you told them to. Start by pulling the head (easy) and see what is going on inside the cylinders...

If all three axles are dated 54, it much more likely to be a 1954 truck. Who told you that it is a Reo? Since the main data plate has been replaced, it could be a Studebaker, Reo, or Curtis-Wright. The 4D3083 is the US Army registration number, that would be have been painted on the sides of the...

Post up over in the Mite section of the G503 website. Also, in the conversations section there, the name of the person that is taking over selling Sam Werner's Mite inventory is listed. He's got the all the engine parts.

Nice old timer! Lots of folks are going with the Behr Premium Plus from Home Depot. Search here for the formulas for the color you want. The Gillipsie paint will fade out in no time if left outside in the elements. I am about to try the Behr myself for a trailer.

Referrals for haulage companies or someone who will drive it? Does it run/drive?

Yup, we want to see the pics. The trucks could also be titled using the "motor number" as the VIN. That seems to be something that was done prior to the 1970's. The motor number is on a data plate on the engine, and both halves of the bellhousing. 302XXXXXXX.

1988: 104011300 88K348 1989: 104011494 89K461 Both W/O winch.

The ammeter is known for melting. Make sure the ignition module and the voltage regulator module are super well grounded. Carry spares of those as well. Mine gets about 10 mpg. The truck is indestructable.

I checked both my late Air Force deuces and they have the serial very deeply stamped in the frame location mentioned by emmado above. Sounds like the serial stamping guy had a potty break when your truck came down the line at AMG.

CARNAC can only help you with the last unit that had your truck while it was in service. And that is only vehicles that were entered into a modern computerized system. Most 715's were surplused when computers were still taking up an entire room. (Mid 1970's) Your best bet is to carefully...

I drove by the Int'l in Texas yesterday. It is still sitting in the field. I didn't cross the fence to get a closer pic. I did that once a long time ago and got shot at. It was an International too, but a half track.

Wow. Does SECO still have crate Caddy engines? That would solve some problems . . .

Ha, I tried that with an identical International here in Texas. Spent the whole afternoon looking at the guy's rusted crap. In the end, he wanted $30,000 for it. Showed him how it was going to be part of a museum Red Ball Express display and everything. Did no good at all.

You can check your bid history and it will say "outbid" for that event. 3DAngus, $2850 is too light for the wreckers, remember they tip the scales at 36,000 lbs and the scrappers are paying $2200 for 21,000 lb tractors. Hope they are asleep and you win anyway.

At midnight tonight (eastern time). You'll get an email. (or not) Good luck.

Deuces are under 26000 GVW= 13,000 empty plus 10,000 lbs rated capacity is 23,000. 5 ton trucks are way over, fmv or not.

Won't be fun when commercial vehicle enforcement gets done writing you tickets for operating a class 8 truck with a class C driver's licence.

Not for the purposes of the SF97. The empty weight plus the max trailer weight is the Gross Combination Vehicle Weight Rating. You'll get into that at the DMV.

Body style is tractor. NLOMMU is the US Army registration number and not part of the VIN. GVWR is 10 tons (20,000 lbs) plus the empty weight.
