If any of you guys have any scoopage on the "Pink Lady" I would appreciate it! I was kicking around bringing a radiator and a couple windshields and driving her home, but then the injector pump would be missing. She'll have to go home "on the hook".

Well I ended up with the purple striped dropside with the missing radiator that sold today. I swore I wouldn't buy one of these, but the twin circuit brakes on these late 80's trucks is too intriguing to pass up.

Did you just win that shelter? I think it was sitting next to my M880 at Kirtland. The 880 just arrived this morning. Love your rust free NM trucks!

Yup, doubleended PTO whether winch equipped or not.

Looks like a V-8 engine stuffed in there? Firewall butchery possibly. Should be 235 "stovebolt" inline 6. Unusual star on door is original Army, indicates stateside service command region. That truck is a desireable collector's item.

Here is the pic of my C-2 wrecking trailer, the earlier version of the M269. They are close in size. Both have the stake pockets for the bed posts, one would guess those are to restrain a very wrecked aircraft. My opinion is that these trailers rarely were used for this purpose.

Pointed forward!!! WWII is pointed backward.

You are so lucky, you have AIR BRAKES!

135 has 4 fewer wheels, the wheels have a different offset, the hubs are flipped, the speedo drive gear is different, and 11:00-20 NDCC's are fitted. Data plate lists 58 mph top speed. She will do it, but it is against the governor at 3400 rpms. That idea to transplant the cab and clip...

First thing Monday morning, get with Truckingdeals.com, Walker will put your load on the boards and find a trucker for you fast. Call the agency too, they will cut you some extra days. The partial load will run you $1.00 a mile.

Do a "search forums" for "G749" Read the response from DDoyle on "Why early deuce". The trucks are called a lot of things. The one in the picture you have is a M211. People call them "hydramatic Jimmys", "Eisenhower Trucks" (Philippines), M211's, M135's, plenty of not so nice things . ...

That's a 1 1/2 ton Chevy. The entire wrecker setup is civilian. Cab is too rotten to restore.

Yup they will. Sweeties. They make my ex-Louisiana National Guard 1009 look like a hooptee.

You're in luck. The nicest 1009's ever are coming out of Ft. Carson just up the road from you. Just wait a while for some more to come up and have $2k handy.

Answers: 51-56, just GM, same configs as G-742 except wrecker and expandovans, truck is 100% GM (except for bed), ratio 6.17, plenty of stock config parts support. Multifuel will not fit without huge hacking, the back of the stock 302 is right against the firewall. Canada used this truck...

I think a hot setup if you really want to update the powertrain is dropping in a 366 Chevy with an Allison auto out of a U-haul truck. This engine can handle 3500 rpms for hours on end. Axle ratio changes on the "banjo" axles are not available that I know of. You need to keep the stock GM...

I am as sentimental about these trucks as the next guy, but . . . These trucks started out life as cargo trucks, and then put to hard work when they were surplused. If you were to try to restore one, trust me, after 100's of hours of grinding off fishplating, welding cracks, replacing springs...

Yes, top. The handle engages the shaft to the drum. You disengage the lever to allow the spool to freewheel and pay out cable by hand. There is also a small plunger that locks the drum from turning during road travel. The cable is 1/2 and about 130 ft long. Google "wire rope" and your home...

I kid you not: 12,000 truck, 11,000 lowboy, 26,000 worth of M-5 13 ton high speed tractor= 49,000 lbs down the highway at 50 mph. As they say, stacks runnin' flames . . . Timken rears not complaining. 185hp LDS huffin and puffin . . .

On most diesel engines, the fuel is atomized when sprayed into the engine, and promply ignites and burns, creating a flame front which pushes the piston down in the usual manner. In the multifuel, fuel is squirted into the bowl in the piston. Only then does it evaporate, instantaneously burn...
