XM818 parts? what are they worth?

[vinny-socom1]

Hello,

I'll be taking the 5th wheel assy off of my trucks soon and was wondering if there is anyone in the market for them or should I think about scrap weight. I also was thinking about putting one on a M105 chassis to use as a dolly? But at this time I have no large trailers to use it for. Any ideas? What are they worth? Thanks Vinny

I'd probably say they are worth a couple hundred bucks to someone who was looking for one.

I'd love to have one for my duece tractor, but I'm sure freight would be far more than it cost new!

Building a "Shorty"?

Is that all that you are removing?

What parts are available?

What are you turning the truck into?

I plan to "BoB" one of them, and the other I'm going to cut down a drop side bed to 9' and put it behind the tool box & spare tire.Kind of a short bed 6x6. Thanks Vinny

Duece bed fits nice, why bother cutting one.

I may be interested in a set of ramps too.

The tractor chassis is shorter than a standard 5ton chassis, so there is only 8-9 feet behind the tool box to the end of the frame. I plan to use a newer style 5ton dropside bed that has 2 panel sides and just cut the rear most off. Vinny

i want a pintle hitch and bracket if you are removing them. also need the 2 tow brackets from the rear too

Yup, I realize all of that. Just pointing out the fact that if you remove all the 5th wheel and tool box etc. behind the cab, that a deuce dropside is the perfect length. Incase you hadn't realized or thought of that option.

Yea but I like the tool box and spare location, I plan to add a water tank in the middle of the tool box & spare so I'll have fresh water on the go. I did think of the duce bed at first, but once I got them home I changed my mind.

Thanks Vinny

OK I've finally got to the point where I can start pulling things off. If anyone is looking for anything please let me know, I'll be at the FL Rally so I can bring the parts there. I have already sold a trailer plug harness from tree set up but everthing else is available except the tool box.

Thanks Vinny

 

[vinny-socom1]
