Look's like a great find.I think what you have there is a Continental 6602 gasser.it looks complete from what i can see from your pics.check the specs for that rig ,I think you will find the exact truck listed there.
Anybody ever load a disabled 5ton on to a drop deck,at a GL site?since they do not help in loading (even though there is a large fork truck 60' away)any ideas?
Too bad I am so far away,it would be nice to have a wrecker.I hope someone saves them it would be a shame to see it go to scrap and come back as a toyota! they both look good !!
I don't know dave, but have E-mailed him on a few questions on his trucks and parts.he got right back to me with an answer and I have never bought from him.in my book that is good service-buisiness.hard to find these days.I give him a thumbs up.

How much play is acceptable in steering gear box.(M812)when the engine is running it's right there.when it is off there is there is 7-8"ofplay at the wheel.is this normal or worn out?can you adjust the worm gear to correct this?
Thanks Dave P,I don't have any plans to go that way anytime soon,but if something comes up and I do I will contact you.I believe I have a great uncle up there maybe I could contact him and go look at it for me. Do you know what he was asking?
