Please post some photos of your bridge truck.

My first army truck was an M328, a 1954 gasser. Owned it for about six years. I think it was made by ?International?, if that's possible. I sold it in 1994 in New Orleans. Great memories, but a huge money pit. I have tons of photos but they are all in paper format.

I wasn't saying that gas engines are bad. Just that gas goes bad and gums up the works. I have started gas engines after 5 yrs. They just need the carbs rebuild when you get them home and the squirrel nuts cleaned out! Still waiting for more pictures of the bridge truck and I think the wrecker is at a scrapyard now. I was put on hold three times and everyone has an attitude. I will see what I can find!

If you want some pix, hop over to OSO's thread he started when he sold his m139/m328 truck to me.
