I looked at that third pic and thought, "He needs a bump cap!"

(Hey! Don't laugh! I've rang my bell a few times under these dang trucks!)

Nice truck! Big iron! BIG, BIG iron!

Looks good so far! Please post pics of the paint job when it is done!

I've heard a lot about Eastern Supply regarding their sales. Not so much on their services. Would be nice to see how it gets done, I might need some major resto work in the future and he's probably the closest to me....

RE: PICS of The M543 Going Through Phases

Thanks guy's...it should look really good when it's done. I know it already runs and operates great. So the after pics will be up soon. Yes OD is the worst habbit ever. Even the under side of the truck is clean. Was underneath it twice. Only leak was gasket on the oil filter. Other then that pretty tight. The crane has no play what so ever on the house (turntable). Air brake on the 45k is working great. Winch on the front is working. All is good so far. Dave is replacing all the work lights on the crane. And the rest of the light on the truck. This summer i will be putting together the kit together for the truck. Have most of it need 1 spade though. And tools. Have all the pulleys wiffle tree and such. Need the light bar. I want to setup the truck at shows with my M35 HOOKED UP AND ALL THE GEAR DISPLAYED. More to follow!

Dave has been a straight up guy with me. No problems great service. And doing a fantastic job with bringing the truck back to original condition. I could put singles on but i want it to look like it did when it was shipped.close to atleast.

Maddawg308 you won't be disappointed. Will you be able to make the rally in NJ in August?

Yes Dave is a straight shooter. You get what you pay for. He's up front and gives you a good product when you get it. My m35 has been great. This is how Dave is. I asked him how much for a flasher for the Deuce. I e-mailed him and said i need a flasher how much? So i showed up to take pictures and said follow me. Hands me a flasher then He said here you go put it on. No charge!!!! Bought the truck 3 months ago and hands me a flasher!!!! That is a true business man. Just like the truck it is going to look sweet when its done!!!

Hope to. A little too far out for planning, but it's not that far up the road. It all depends how things go with the bills come summer.

I have several of the snatch blocks and chains that go to that wrecker. I'll be at the NJ show.
The truck came with 3 snatch blocks and the 5/8 chain with the ring and hook. Plus alot of other parts. I will see you there. Would like to complete all the hardware the truck needs as per the PS articles with the right gear.

Nice truck! I bought my truck from Dave too. He did the bobbing for me. Excellent experience and I will buy from Dave again. I had the same experience Joe did. A few parts on my duece developed problems after the sale and Dave sent me replacement parts immediately by overnight courier. Dave also spent a lot of time on the phone with me teaching me about the truck. Very patient. Good guy.
