Thanks, I will try Hagerty. Yes it has a knuckle boom type crane. It was made for the HEMMT M983, but the military put it on the truck after it went through qualification testing and into inventory. Was at Vint HIll VA. as a radio tower erector truck. Zeligson sold custom made military trucks...

Its been a long time since I posted to the forum but I am getting closer to getting the Zeligson 5 ton on the road. The truck is titled now and needs to be registered to keep the county and neighbors off my back. Anyways, I need to find insurance, so I contacted Gulfway. They quoted a great...

The truck that you are asking about is mine. The crane is a HIB 8001 from a early HEMMT. I was told that the crane was mounted on the truck after it left the proving ground and it was used to unload antenna towers in Vint Hill Va. Its rated at 14K at 10ft and 4K at 38ft. The only issue I have is...

I checked all axles and transfer case for ID long ago. All have the rivet holes but no tags. My deuce had the tags, so I know what your saying. The trans is a Road Ranger CEEMAT autoshift, when I pulled the ECU cover it had "Engineering Sample" stamped on it. Talking to Eaton they had no...

I agree that I dont want to commit fraud. But I have both a SF97 for it as a 1985 and 1991. All I did was call them (GSA) and tell them per my investigation,(as stated above) I thought it was a 1991 and 2 days later I had a new SF97 with 1991 as the year. NO model number weights or any other...

Thanks for the info. I did see those past postings. But my issue is a little different. Thus I need advice from people whom have titled and registered 5 ton and over trucks. Here is my dilemma. My truck has no data plate with any specifications. All it has is a VIN and Unit number. Doing...

I am trying to figure out how to register and insure my 5 ton crane tractor truck. Anyone with a 1990's era 5 ton and up truck register it for personal use? I also want to avoid getting a CDLif at all possible, any suggestions? For Insurance, I tried Gulfway insurance and the truck was to new...

I finally took the plunge and bought the new ECU for the Eaton autoshift transmission. Sure is a interesting truck to drive. Never drove a cab forward vehicle before this one. Anyway I have a few questions about the basic 5 ton trucks.Mine is based on a G744 series platform from what I can tell...

I learned yesterday that my truck was a last ditch effort for Zeligson to make new trucks vs. referbishing old trucks for the military. Thus its a prototype. They made 2 trucks like mine both went to the field and used by different agencies. How I learned this information is that Zeligson was...

OK, Sorry about the location not listed. I fixed that issue. I also created a photo album with my ID (AMX 70). A little history on the truck, from what I understand it was used to install antenna towers. So assume it pulled the trailer with the crane tower parts then erected it via the...

Hello, I am new to this forum and happy to be here. Lots of great information. I recently purchased a Zeligson 5 ton crane tractor from the GSA auction. It has no M series number placard on it anywhere. Does anyone know what this truck is? It was made in 1991 and has a Cummins 400 BC IV series...
