When I got this one the bed hinge had rotted off and ripped apart . Seller said it was up and when it came down the top hat came into cab and hit him in head . Almost killed him

I have sourced best prices for parts and stuff for these trucks. Mine was a mess when I got it . Bought brand new fuel tank out of Texas cheap ! Hit me up if need to know where to find some specialty items for these dumps .
I would go with the 5 ton over the 2.5 . Main reason - 5 ton has power steering ! And it’s much stronger truck . Be ready to go thru the entire brake system in these old trucks if it had not been done recently . My old m51a2 brakes were terrible . For what your wanting to do you might hunt for...

My old m51 dump truck has normal 22.5 truck wheels and tires and the wide floatation rims and tires on front off a concrete truck . It’s only used on my land off-road . My cousin and I had to change one front tire that blew out last weekend . This weekend I had to change transfer case air...
