While out Junk Yard roaming I found a good size Vice for my wrecker, I own one now but it is in Tulsa and out of reach so for scrap value ($10) and a little Silikroil and some tapping I now have a pretty presentable working Vice for the M543A2!

If you come across another, I'll double what you paid for it! Mine looks nekkid without one.

Did your truck come with the IR light already on it or did you add that?

The light on the driver's fender is a red flasher. Most wreckers have them.

My wrecker is my vice!

I'm tempted to put one on my deuce, maybe a smaller one though. I'd love to find a screamin' deal like you did, even the ChiCom crap sells for $50 and up!

If you have loocal junk shop have a look there, over the holidays I was in Tunica,MS and found a propeller shaft for the winch on my 5Ton, it was in a pile of stuff by the front door. And guess what I paid for it $10, OD green and he thought it was off a John Deere, if it had been black I could have gotten it for $2. I find all kinds of accessories for the wrecker at those places. But "old junk yards" are the best.
