combo 10 ton/ m62

found this pic. pretty cool

 

[redass73]

is that really a M62 bed, looks like my 816 bed.

Nope, the m62 has 1 piston under the boom. That one looks like a 543 style, with boom pistons on the outside. Nice truck, shame the red faded.

Looks like that was a M125 cargo truck(front mounted winch),not a bad conversion job,shame they did it to a 125 as rare as they are.All in all still a good looking truck.

Looks to still be a gasser. I'd take it although I'd only be able to afford to run it a few hours a month.

awe nifty

If indeed it was a M125, that would be a shame. Not too many of those beasts around....

A guy up the road from me has a M125. It doesn't run right now. He has a new motor to put in it, but hasn't got to it yet. He's going to use his 5 ton crane truck (M816 maybe?) to do the swap.

IT"S HUGE!

Hey Guys,

Both Roadmasters and High Point towing are large towing companies in my area.
I was so surprised to see the first pic with the Roadmasters paint job. I see there trucks towing on the road all the time. I had contacted both of them when I was going to Maine to pick up Sharlene from Schott's.....but decided to go with Underdog towing instead.

Cheers,

C'dub

I believe that Roadmasters sold several trucks at auction. not for sure if they closed/sold out or what.

I heard not to long ago that they closed up shop because of the IRS. I've gone by the old body shop and tow building and can't believe my eyes. Roadmasters is gone out of business. They had a huge body shop and a very well known towing business. I would have to say they were one of the top leaders in Northern Jersey. He had some of the nicest and most capable trucks to do what ever task they were called upon to do. They were an Icon and much respected company.

Their trucks are spread out all over now. They still had the crested American Eagle on the door with the trucks painted up in the US red, white and blue. They even had a slogan that read " Pulling For America " painted on the trucks.

I myself have seen a few of their trucks in and around Bergen County in different tow yards as well as on Da'bay.


seya,

Hey Bryan, is his name Kevin? If so, I know the truck you are talking about.
