Has anyone seen an Air Force truck 89XXXXX with 10XXXX serial with the A3 bed from the factory? Except for not being dropside, this would be a neat feature, clearance lamps.

85W-90 Gear Oil, any brand in a 5 gallon bucket.

Looks like a nice one, might be a touch of rust under the front fender. Can't see anything obvious.

I feel your pain. But, much like the old lady with 150 cats in her house, I will drag home these disasters and part them out, so at least some parts can live on in somone else's truck. I hauled home a DUKW once that was so rusted that only the axles were any good.

You guys have no sense of adventure. Many times I have operated my M320T will the tag line coming into the cab with me. I had never operated a crane before buying the M320T, and now I have even taught myself how to operate the dragline, a lost art if there ever was one. Accidents happen...

Where is the cann point at Camp Beauregard where all those basket case CUCV's that just sold last thurs are? Also across the creek somewhere?

Quick lesson on hydraulic machinery older than 20 yrs old, regardless of hours: One by one, every hose will crack and break, and every cylinder will need to be repacked. Big cylinders like on the 35 ton P&H hyd truck crane will run $500 ea to repack. Hoses are at the cheapest 80 bucks each...

See VintagePowerWagons web site. Treasure trove of info there.

If you have water in the cylinders, even if you can get the motor to turn over, the rings will be stuck and the engine will not run very well. Usually if an engine has water inside, you can crack the oil drain plug and water will come out first. Also the ends of the injectors will be rusty...

If you want to get into a military crane cheap that will do what you want, look into the P&H M320T. It is a 20 ton lattice boom friction crane mounted on a 6x6 carrier. Nobody wants them because they are gas engines up and down. I bought mine for $3000. It is ok for occasional lifts. You...

Cundupa, do you use the truck in your business? One of those just sold down here in Louisiana, brought $10K. I was not sure how someone could use it commercially.

You can just reach the door handle from the back window.

Door lock thing unscrews. Window crank, there is a cheap tool for that at your local auto parts store.

Nope. All Dana 44's. You will have to get a CUCV front axle for a Dana 60, or a M715.

The left picture is the Tulsa winch from a pole setter truck. It is cast iron, and has 1/2 cable.

Rich Raday (RIP)(USMC -Viet Nam) taught me that those symbols were painted on the doors and tailgate/back of trucks in that era. The symbols were very small, maybe 4" diameter. The trucks were USMC green with no stars. The registration number was painted on the hood in the same place as army...

Bruce, no, my pockets are not that deep! That was a sweetie. Mine is complete but cab is RUSTY and all the rubber parts are deteriorated, including the torque rods. I think that truck was surplused because it did not get the ABS MWO applied. Without the ABS, there was a speed...

Yup I inspected it at 10:00 yesterday and then raced home (200 miles) to bid, only to find the bidding had gone to around $1800. No, the engine and trans were not there. But most of the engine accessories were in the bed. The cab interior was all there. It was an ABS truck. Took a hard...

You shoulda bought that 900 at Polk yesterday. All that stuff was either attached or thrown in the bed. I too am having no luck looking for nick nack parts for my M931A2.

What kind of music?
