I have an M108 body sitting on an XM211 truck, that I am restoring.
The truck is now running and licensed, and I am busy with the hydraulics on the crane now.

I've got a 1954 M-62 with a Continental R6602. Not real nice on the wallet when you're taking her places, BUT its lots of fun, everybody wants to use it and can do most anything but fly and swim. Still looks a little rough but putting her to rights is being done right. If they quit skidding logs, standing cannon molds in the foundry etc It could get done. But she loves being kept indoors now, especially in winter.

This one would one heck of rally if we could get all the guys and their wreckers together just .

i plan to take the 819, I think PB is bring the 818, and BFR is bring his crane deuce, would be nice if we had a few more wreckers so there wasnt any waiting for the loadind/unloading, dont think there will be a shortage of lifting equipment this year

Mark down one more M-62 International, old well used, and rescued from a horrible fate as "cold tonnage". She runs, gets LOUSY milage (Cont. R6602 gasser) but has earned her keep here and there, seems to love the attention and is a ball to drive and watch the little rice burners run for the berm.

MINE WAS TO RECEIVE A SIMULAR FATE, HEADED FOR SCRAP, when I saved it. I just picked up a new distributor( mine had the advance weights taken out and welded solid) the RIGHT carb, and a new water pump!!- Can't believe I found the mother load of parts, at least for a short time. Trying to get it ready for our next Rallye, and should be able to keep up, as well as serve as a recovery vehicle, should it be needed. (Murphy in our pocket)
