Do you have any more information on the location of the field of 13?
I once had a picture of me sitting straight up under the front axle of one of these.

My Engineer BN had one of these to haul our D9 dozer, had to get road permits to use it on the road.

Great work. Nothing wrong with being a little 'crazy'...

Do we still have the drool emoji?
Oh, yup, here it is >>>


10 tons are awesome. I'd love to have one (or more) some day. But for now, I'll be content living vicariously through the OP's friend.

MuleMac - Please keep the pictures coming!

Do you know if the ones he's buying are the ones that used to be at Barstow Truck Parts? I always wondered what happened to them when BTP closed...

Most everything left at BTP was shredded & scrapped about 3-4 years ago. All the remote lots (storing the military vehicles & equipment) are just piles of shredded metal now.

There are a few of us who will work pretty hard at times to save the 10 tonners, I bought one a few years ago that was going to scrap and resold it to a friend who has another 123 that he is restoring, they are wonderful old trucks but because of the sheer size of the truck (width with duals) they just dont make make much sense anymore. I ended up getting an M920, WAY more practical!!!!! Just ask my wife.
