How rare are the M108 and M60 series wreckers? I know a handful of Steel Soldiers have them....

I've seen ONE M60 light wrecker, was on ebay about 4 years ago. STILL shooting myself in the foot for not buying it, was 4500, and looked nice.
Seems the air force liked the M108's. I've seen or heard about 20 of them still around. Figure a lot more than that are hiding somewhere.

There's a beautiful M60 wrecker on mseriesrebuild.com, one of his customers. I believe it was in MVM as well.

RE: got it home
Sweet! Looks pretty complete, even has the spare tire mounted in the right place. Respool the winch, flip the headlights, and paint her GREEN!

She looks good. She runs and moves under her own power. That right there makes her worth it

Very nice looking unmolested M108. Can I ask what you had to pay for it? Still in it's Air Force colors.

They are not Wreckers.They are cranes.The deuce is actually too light weight to be an official wrecker.

There is a whole lot of truck there to work with.
Seems there are a lot of Folks that don't respect winch line - probably because they have never had to buy any of it.

The M60 was listed as a "light wrecker" I think.

Any truck that you can drive home (safely) is a good truck indeed! Looks great, I'd like to have a 108 in my stable down the road.

Started cleanup, It will probably go green , It runs great crane works (has a few leaks to deal with) going to replace master cylinder and 2 wheel cylinders, the winch is giong to go back to the guy I bought it off for his m35a2. The crane will probably be a yard truck unless someone has to have it more than me (I want an m109) i have most of the parts to fix it Ill just pick away at it. Thanks for all the input Thom

Astfu the more you have it and use it im sure you will find it hard to ever wanta part with it. They will be more helpful for little things then anyone thinks about tilll they get one. Yard truck can do wonders .
