M887 goes away, comes back!

The first thing I will do is have it power washed and a gallon of Gillespie sprayed over the whole thing. What was the fire department thinking?

I was looking at that. I'm glad they chopped a big hole in the side, if it weren't for that hole I may have bid and I really don't need it.

Joe,

Gillespie 34079 from Rapco

Guess that goes for Kenny's too

I hate to hijack the thread, yet I continue, but here's a picture of "Starsky and Hutch" on the trailer. I'm so glad Kenny didn't bid on it

I broke down and skipped the usual 6 month hiding period with my wife and took her to see it earlier. She was not impressed. I think it might be the flood lights.

Need more pics Joe. They have the coolest cab! You can stand up in there and there are overhead compartments, way cool. I'd love to have an original with all the gear in the back. On a side note, I got bored today after work. Was walking through the garage and the DA dang near tripped me. I got bent and showed it who is boss, used it to scuff up the white paint on the 887. I'm about half way done, with any luck, it will be 34052 by weeks end. Not fixing any body issues, just getting it green so it will not stick out like a beached whale.

just getting it green so it will not stick out like a beached whale.

Are you hoping the wife might not notice it that way... when she gets home???

 

[Blythewoodjoe]

Well I spent an hour this morning "removing" a few of the fire department mods. The big pile of stuff behind the truck is what came out of the back. I'm really excited about the purchase, but so far the rest of gang is not.

If it had wings I would call it "Eagle 5". I lke the little door between the cab and back. I will spray mine green as soon as I get some paint. A friend is going to power wash it this week. I love former military equipment and flat paint.

Greeting fellow Dodge owners. I have no idea what I have bought but I hope to pick it up tomorrow. It will be my official "rally" vehcile when I get it road worth. Now I will have a lot to talk to Kenny about next week

It's an M886 AMBO, that's been butcher in the back . I'll to get you pics.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Well, I could no longer take the white paint, it'got some color now!

 

[Stretch44875]

Looks mucho better. Now pull the crane in the paint booth! I hear paint sticks well to oil, LOL

Wow, that looks good, Kenny!

Is that coming to the Ga. Rally this year? We can fill it up with cookies!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Won't make it to the rally. I have to bring a 105 (or just a deuce) to transport canned motor #4 back. 1 thru 3 are already here.
