Sat for a year. I threw the battery in it, checked the fluids and she fired right up! with some choke of coarse
.. lol.. Time to test that winch pulling some trees.. 
I would like to find some side doors for the box. I know its a long shot but like my daddy always said. "you can't catch any fish if you don't keep your bobber in the water!" He was reffering to woman but it can be used for many applications.. lol

Nice looking truck. It looks like they might have done a modification for military light switch on the dash? I like the seats....some tells me they are not stock...

I don't have a Strata Blue truck yet and might warm up to it .. Not sure what color that OD Green is? Was there a Seabee green? Or is it faded 34087? Up till now anything but camo was considered eye pollution. It was Navy last ... soooooo... Grey? lol
Country!!!!!! That dump is SWEEEEET! gonna sell it?

The seats are very comfortable and will probably stay but some canvas covers are in order. And yes I think they had a military switch hooked up but I am not sure. The fire department that had this was ..... well lets just say I took a garbage can of wire out of it and it was mostly cris crossed and zig zagged through the whole truck. It has a ground shut off on the front fender... I think the fire boys were a little worried about spontaneous combustion!
It also has a locker of some sort in the rear. Tract Lock??

Don't need another wrecker, Have a M52A2, and the M123 is pretty much useless to me. I would have to work to hard to keep the tank full and it's not legal for road use without a stack of permits. You should purchase said tractor and wrecker! You would be able to pull your fancy trailer and lift stuff to set in it to fix! Like a LDS4651Ax2 I need rebuilt. Or better yet bring that up here so I can show you how to use them fancy tools..lol..

I am trying to find some of these nuts in 5/8 dodge thread. Need 32 of them so I can use my spacers with HUMV rims. Any idea? What would be the technical name for these? They step down in size so you can get a socket in the hole to tighten them.

Those look like the old brush truck the VFD I was on had. Does the front compartment of the box open all the way across the box? This was before I got in to this OD stuff. If only I knew then what I know now.

It originally went all the way across the front. The FD put a water tank in it and had oxygen tanks on a rack that you accessed from the drivers side. I took the rack out and will be grinding the welds and lift the tank out. It must have had some type of sliding cover at one time that covered the center section. It really is one tough rig you can just feel it when your driving it. I just could not cut the axles out from under it and scrap it. So in the Motor Pool it will go..
