Good deal Tony
Let me know if you need me to come over and show you how to operate the crane.

Tony...DO NOT let wreckerman operate your wrecker...it will end up on it's side and I will have to come up there and sit it back on it's wheels

Thanks papabear Richard is a good guy and he tryed to help me get it home I just though he was a 5 ton expert on how they worked. but now I have it home I can break out the TM and with a little help from people like 73M819 I am going to make it right. The 816 is just way cool.

He's got a good one, sounds like an old farm tractor running.

maybe this thread It is Home my M816 can be added to this thread because they both are for the same truck, same topic, by the same SSer, only one thread was started in the WW2 5t trucks and the other (this one) the modern 5t might be a bit less confusing

now i see where my post went.. yes i hope you can combine them to keep the confusion down Tim
