An m108 has been on my "gotta have it" list for a while now. I'm sure there are plenty out there that would be a much easier restoration than this one.You really need to get the m108. I hope one day to find a nice dump
It's a 1953 Studebaker.Any idea what year M108 that is?
It's got a good frame so technically it's savable. The downside is it needs all new sheet metal, a cab/doors/all glass/top, rear axle shafts, a radiator, 11 tires, new wiring, seats and tons more for sure. The transmission and winch PTO are gone, the transfercase PTO and crane driveshaft are gone, all the outriggers are gone, it's missing the crane cable/end pulley, all the hoses are junk of course. The cab mounted floodlights were on it when it was here in the yard in the 90s but they've gone missing sometime in the last 20 or so years. I'd guess that the boom hasn't moved since at least 1991 because it's also shown in the same TV program as my dump truck and it looks like it's still swung to the driver's side back then.
Sounds like a great project truck.
