30 years ago my brother and I bought an old gas job deuce pipeline line truck. Then it started. Long story short we ended up with a dozen trucks inc. 2 M543's 1 M62 2 halftracks and so on. After years of ownership we sold them all off.
Now here I am at 52 and the bug gets me again. Back in Aug. I bought an M 936A2 out of Ft Meade. I do towing for the town and State Pd so I have a thing for wreckers.
Thursday I bought a 5 ton cargo at New Castle DE. It was overhauled 11/11. Looks like a nice truck. I have read alot on this site about these overhauled trucks. I guess I'll see how good a job they do.
New Castle is only 200 miles from me but I'm still sending a friend of mine down to pick it up with a Landall. I'm not as optimistic as some of you guys. Also my shop is jambed this time of year so I don't have time to go get it myself.
Here is a pic of the cargo and my wrecker.
