Rockcrawlerboy looking for Wrecker parts

RE: Re: Crazy kid!!

All y'all might think I'm crazy but I like it just as it is. It moves, stops, lifts and carries. Thats more than a lot of really nice looking MVs can do. Hell, it's even road worthy aside from missing a few things the law requires. You could piece that back together for very little money if you take your time. You say the fenders are decent? The grill can be blasted. Most all the other sheet metal, lights and small parts are the same as a deuce so you can find that suff lots of places. There's got to be some members up there in the Woverine parting out some deuces. Hell, bad doors are better than no doors ( in Michigan anyway). Keep it rollin and keep it liftin.

I agree

Thanks for the good words. Parts are starting to show up . I have been digging for the kid..
Having trouble finding a good hood for it. Keep coming accross 800 series hoods. Not many multifuel 5 tons laying around here.
Are the fenders the same on a 800 series? I know the nose is longer but just what did they change for that cummins engine? Is it a totaly different frame in the front or mostly in the sheet metal?

I need to put the M51A2W/winch and the XM818W/winch side by side and get the yard stick out.

M543 5 Ton Wrecker Parts

I've got a few of the parts that you need, plus I've got ALL of the wheel seals and brake parts that you'll need. When you get time, maneuver around (http://www.czarnik.net/joe/My_Stuff/).

My shop is in Appleton, WI and I won't be there until Christmas; if you can wait until then ...

Joe

P.S. a M35A2 I just restored is at (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CARC...019QQitemZ290052890240QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW).

RE: Re: Crazy kid!!

To bad you are so far away. A metal salvage yard close to me here in Ga probably has most of what you need. My M543 wrecker was also missing windshields, but the frame was there, doors, cab bows, and both winches, and headlights. I got doors from Rdixiemiller, headlight rings from BFR yesterday, windshield frames from local salvage yard and new glass at local glass shop. Soft top and cab bows and rear winch on e-bay. All I need now to complete it is the front winch and the local yard has it, I just haven't picked it up yet. I'll see if I can get a picture up.
