Looks like a great truck... Glad that you're saving it! Have you taken that chrome crap off yet?

No, not yet. It might just get a chrome stack (or stacks) to match. Maybe one wrecker will stay original and one will be pimped out. You never know what I might do!

I have wanted an M816 for sooooooo long now. found one a couple years back but had no money to buy it (great price to). now I have $$$ and can not find one at a reasonable (cheepish) price. I have been in this hobbie since 86 so I still have sticker shock at what stuff goes for now.

Was that a heavy or medium towbar being used?

 

[M1075]

Medium. The heavy is reserved for big trucks and armor.

Any info on whatever happened to this truck?

I PM'd M1075 about it a while back, it was in Colorado Springs with a blown engine. Not sure what the status is now.

Hello James good catch on the truck my friend just picked one up from TX (GL) started right up and drove it back!!! I must say thats a nice fleet you have there. If everything goes ok I'll be by to see you Saturday. It looks to be one LONG trip from Florida. Also let me know if your looking/need anything I've got some room on the trailer.

Thanks Vinny
