The boys and I went out early this morning to drink tea with the liar's club. I left the boys in the pickup while I went in for tea. The rest of the club drinks coffee. We left there in the M1008 and went to the yard for the boys to burn off some energy. I was looking at the five tons that came in this week.... trying to pick out the ten best tires for Speedwobble. Anyway, I snapped a few photos of Death Row. I found a couple of heaters and a M813 with a winch. The PTO, shaft and shifter are all there, so my upcoming five ton purchase can include non-winch trucks! Cheaper and easier to find!
I was looking at some 900 series trucks, but it seems criminal to sprout out to a 900 series when we have all of these 800 series parts trucks here. While I was walking along in the early light, I could not help but to look at these once proud soldiers and wonder where they had served. Seems like a terrible loss.... one day we will wish we had a few back. Glen
Ever wonder why my windshield always has slobber marks? Now you know....what makes a dog insist on having his nose as close to the glass as possible????

I would have to check, most of these that have heaters have them mounted deuce style, on the driver's side with the deuce air box. I think the cores are the same though.

WINCH PARTS. I suppose that one is missing the trans?
Also, any of them have the spare tire davit parts?
(I'm still holding scrap iron and cash for my run over there when your 101's get in)
The trans and PTO are in the box, the shaft and shifter are in the truck. It appears to be complete except for the top plate and it may be in the box covered with snow. I am hanging onto those parts until I get my five ton bought. I no longer have to find a winch truck! I am not sure what you need on the spare tire racks, but the 820s should have anything you need for the 818.

Just one question if a guy ever showed up with cash and trailer could he ever buy parts? I know what they're fate is but didn't know if someone needed part if they could get something that they can't find off someone else partingout, vs going to the big suppliers?
Wow.. A 4ID 704th Main Support Battalion truck. Im sure that was at Ft Hood the same time I was. Cool.
Little things like that I really enjoy, thanks for posting it up. It gives character to what we have and I enjoy history. I wish I could keep them all, but that is not possible. I wish they could talk... I really do! Glen
