I'm glad she made it to a good home......I used that wrecker to swap engines in my M816......it's a thirsty beast....we ran it out of fuel a couple of times just idling it to use the crane. At that time it was owned by Darrell Braun......an ex-member that turned out to be a stinker. Any...

Cool beans!!!!!

I saw it FIRST!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: I BEEN ROBBED!

As of last week "Old Yaller" was still there. :) It has been moved to the back of the property, either under it's own power or towed. 8) It may have been bought and is awaiting pickup. DAMIFINO :?: Since I invested in the chemical shelter trailers I can't buy anything else military without...

Hookin......I emailed the contact info to ya. Good luck. If you buy it and I am up that way I will assist any way I can.

Update on "Old Yeller". As of weekend before last he was still sitting on the hill looking out over the valley. :D I would still like to have it but a deuce is more practical. 8) Hawaii didn't mellow out the old lady....if I buy it I have to sleep with it. :shock:

I leave tomorrow for Hawaii. Taking the better half on a 20 year anniversery vaccation. If it puts her in a good mood I may be able to sneak "old yeller" into the back yard. If all else fails I'll buy her a new car. That usually lets me get a new "toy". That old wrecker will probably enbd up...

Rick and all concerned. I'm going to pick up metal tomorrow and I will be going past the wreckers. I will stop in and talk to Mrs Battles. If she will store it for me I may go ahead and buy it. My main reason for not buying is lack of room to keep it. Once I get my shop completed I should be...

Rick and other concerned folks: I would love to have the beast but I have too much going on this month. Miltary missions and vaccation. I will be up there Thursday thru Sunday working on my shop but I can take time out Sat. to assist. I know a wrecker guy (Larry's Towing) and he might let you...

If I am in the area I will assist any way possible. :) I have tools out the wazoo to include tanks and torches, tanker bar, 1-inch impact tools, etc. I was considering floating a loan to buy the gasser until the old lady said "get enough to pay your lawyer" :shock: .........I hate it when that...

Neither is multi-fuel. The yellow one is a gasser, the camo one has a Mack diesel. I was told that the yellow one had been cranked about 6 weeks ago just before the owner died. The yellow one still has the foot actuated starter (see pic).

Here are a few additional pics to include the diesel. It was inside a fence so I couldn't get closeups. :(

OK Folks here are the promised and eagerly (I assume) anticipated wrecker pics. I'll post the best. I did some exploring and found two military trailers also. One is pretty thrashed but the other seems to be original. Mrs Battles is a motivated seller but when I spoke to her yesterday she...

Well, that worked well. :D

I'm going to post a test pic to see if I am resizing photos correctly.

No offense taken at all. I am comedy impaird and joke a lot. There are so many variations of military vehicles that Einstein couldn't keep track. The important thing is that we all agree that this is a great hobby and that we live in the greatest country in the world where we are free to own and...

I will be going up there this weekend. The truck is on my way to the local flea market so I am going to stop in and shoot a few pics. If I can figure out how to post them I will. It will be next week before I can post since I can't do it from up there. It is not a duce wrecker, it has 10 bolt...

Oops!!! The last price on the wrecker was $3000.00. Sorry I didn't proof good enough.

Howdy all. I am a newbie here but I love the site. :) I am posting this because it may save a great vehicle from the torch. :cry: I am located in NE Ala. and there is a gas burner 5-ton wrecker near me for sale. It may be a Studebaker. Here is the history of the truck as I know it: It was...
