M 1500

DaveP · Sep 2, 2007

Brought the M 1500 almost home today. what a truck. it is awesome! air conditioning? Extra horse power? real runner. maybe to good of a runner as a transfer case bearing went a little south. no damage just needs to have a shim removed to tighten it up a bit. rather than ruin something i left it at a buds house and will go back early tomorrow to finish the job. not able to post pics due to the lack of intelligence on my part. but i will get the disc to lane and he may do it for me.

Thanks Wayne for putting the pic thing together. i can do whatever is needed with the trucks but when it comes to these electronic machines i'm lucky to turn the darn thing on. :?:

got the transfer case straitened out and drove the rascal the rest of the way home. is a blast to drive. sorry still no pics as i have not hooked up with Lane yet.

Are you sure it is a M1500? The photos are not the greatest, but to me that animal looks like the old P-4 crash truck. We had one at MCAS Cherry Point. The last time I saw her was in 1983.

CRASH CREW[/quote the one in this ad looks just like mine and the one i have has the model number on the data plate listed as M1500. 1976. nothing Else to compare it to because this is the only one i have laid eyes and hands on. maybe they are similar to each other?

The P4 and the M1500 are the same truck. P4 was the military model number and the M1500 was commercial vehicle model number. Hope that clarifys for you.
