A five ton arrived in the yard today!

I will get some photos, I had the truck placed in the south yard away from the loaders. It has some kind of one piece aftermarket front end that looks like an International grill. It is definitely military and weighs right at 23,000. I will look for data plates tomorrow. It has a tanker bed, the previous owner used it to haul water on the west slope of the California Sierras. He said he had an emotional attachment to the two trucks, yes, we have another coming in.... Anyway, it is a curious looking critter at first glance. Glen

Those are great looking dogs. They demonstrate pride of ownership!

It's probably one of the fiberglass aftermarket ones sold by ranchers supply company.

They are very common on the water trucks in southern california

There have been several custom hoods for mv's over the years.
Here are a couple. The yellow truck appears to be a deuce tipper with aftermarket one piece windshield frame and fiberglass top.

Times are tough. You got to do what you have to feed your family. I love my stuff as much as the next guy but if for some reason I need money now and dont have the sometimes weeks or months it takes to sell something it will go straight to the scrapper for the instant cash.

Wow Glen, I hate to say it but, that is FUGLY. It has a face only a mother(or father) could love.

Looks too far gone to restore, but perhaps it can give some much-needed parts to someone else's resto. Those axles can easily find a home....

It has an interesting air brake conversion.

 

[quickfarms]

Can post pictures of the air brakes on the axles

Are they s cam?
