    M-718 or M-715 What is it ?

    difference? Sorry to say, in your case, it's probably a typographical error. The data plate with the serial number should be on the dash or glovebox door, telling you what the model of the truck is (unless the FD had to put a bracket for something there. OR---OR they had both the M718...

    Original purpose Matt- I originally bought the trailer to use it for the Museum's display when we travel. A lot easier to open the doors than to set up a GP Medium, haul all the stuff from the truck, hang it in the tent, fix what broke on the way, take it back down after the show, and start...

    looks different now- Joe- yeah, you got a close up look. Thanks again for your help in picking it up and storing it for me. Looks a little different now, with all the stuff gone inside. I'd like to match the trailer to the tractor, paint wise, but that won't happen for a while. Unless I...

    IHC M-1-4 4x4 Boyertown Ambulance

    Yep, checked the data plate " M-1-4 AMB" We almost had the guy talked into restoring it himself, but he relisted it. That's great, though, because now Cottonbaler has it and it will be loved and cherished.

    IHC M-1-4 4x4 Boyertown Ambulance

    Boyertown Museum I did some quick checking after Lane (citizensoldier) and I checked out the truck a couple weeks ago. There is one MVPA member listed with the IH ambulance. I e-mailed him, no response yet. I couldn't find any military ambulance references on the Boyertown Museum website...

    Here's my new project

    Dave P and Lane have already challenged me to test my "recreational doubles" skills. In MI, as long as the primary trailer is or contains a housing unit, a second trailer (car, boat, M105, M37, whatever) can be towed behind. [thumbzup] The trailer does have a pintle and air hook ups at the...

    Here's my new project

    RE: Re: RE: Here Kenny, Don't know if it is or not. I never saw that ad. This one's in MN. I think the guy bought it, used it for what he needed or found out it wasn't exactly what he needed and decided to sell it. I'm just hoping that it runs and drives as nice as it looks.

    Here's my new project

    Re: RE: Here :D I'd love that, depending on who pays for it. Initial plans are to take it as a Museum Display trailer, with models, dioramas, posters, reference books-basically all the stuff I've been collecting forever! I have been trying to figure a way to make the whole back end open...
