Wanted: 5 ton wrecker vise mount and warning light bracket

[Evil Dr. Porkchop]

Looking for a front bumper vise mount plate (have vise already), and the special warning light bracket pictured (different than a normal marker light bracket).
Also looking for some of the more obscure BII/tools for an m62 wrecker.
Shipping to 05446.

I have both i can sell for $225 + shipping. The light bracket will have the light also.

What else are you looking for? I also have an M-62 and am always looking for the little bits and pieces I'm missing

From memory - there is a fab drawing in one of the wrecker threads for that vise plate...

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.

Worst case I could make it. I’ve found a few sources for them but on the lookout for a cheaper one first.

My M-62 vise is mounted up in the bed by the rear winch, my M-816 wrecker has it on the front bumper way more handy for sure. I'm going to try to make another set of gondola bows using my 816 as a pattern. I scoured eBay for a lot of parts for my trucks as well as gotten things from the big vendors

Yeah that’s why I’m looking for a plate. Got the wilton vise the other day and it’d be much better on the front bumper than in the stock M62 spot.

Had a fella give me a few copies of this picture, his M-62 wrecker equipment when he was in the service
