Had to add pictures of my M1917 Ambulance. I built this back in 2002, and I think wulfy33 might have called me several hundred times to try and get copies of my plans ;-). Mine is in the markings of C Company, 101st Machine Gun Battalion, 26th "Yankee Division". When WW1 started, Ford was able...

Here are a few more of my M-34.

Also the early gauges were all 12 volt gauges with resistors on them so they would work with the 24 volt system.

As best as I can recall off hand, the M-34: -has the trouble light outlet inside the engine compartment -there are two air connections in the cab, one on the driver side and one on the passenger side -the front fender supports have two holes through them instead of one -the choke control is...

The cargo beds for the M135 and M34 are actually one and the same. Some later production M34's actually had the slanted wheel wells on them and some early M135's had the squared off wheel wells. The slanted wells are actually just earlier beds with cross braces welded across the corners as a...

I'm looking for a Mk 2 or later ferret mechanically sound and in decent shape. I have a working M62 Wrecker in good condition to trade if anyone is interested. Thanks, Alan

Ken, the paint wasn't even scratched on the truck. Everything still works on it (except for the breaks!)

The breaks were working before hand. I looked at them after wards, and one line to one of the rear wheels was cut and capped off. Also, it does not have the correct master cylinder in it. The one on there was jury rigged from something else. If any one has a 5-ton mastery cylinder or airpack...

It's not everyday you get to go airborne in a 5 ton... Would have been cooler if I had not going backwards out of control.

Yes thank god I did, along with a tempoary registration. My $30.00 per year to Haggerty was money well spent.

Within minutes the cops, FD, Public Utilities, the Gas Company, and a reporter from the local paper were there. It happened right in the middle of town so everyone and their uncle drove by as well. I had to have the truck towed 200 Yards to my house for almost what it cost me to have it towed...

So, I drive the thing out on to the main drag in my town (a very busy four lane road) and turn up my street which is a very steep hill. When I get near the top, the thing stalls out. I desperatly try to down shift and get her started again. I put my foot on the break and the pedal goes...

So I bought this 5-Ton M-62 Wrecker from a guy on ebay. He advertised it as "runs good, everything works." He owned a 45 foot yacht and used the wrecker to pull it on and off it's trailer every year. I got it for a good price and arranged to have it hauled to a strip mall near my home. The...
