Will the HMMWV towbar feet fit the CUCV or are there other feet for them? Later, Joe

Hi all, I'm trying to get my new 816 from northern NJ (Old Bridge) to Colorado Springs, CO. If anyone knows a good shipping company, please post here or PM me. My budget is in the $3000-3500 range and pickup/dropoff dates are flexible. For carriers, the dimensions are: L - 29' 7" W - 8' 2" H...

Has anyone seen the canvas gondola cover that is referenced in PS172? If so, can I get a pattern off of it? Thanks, Joe

This cab just sold on GL and I had to hold off until it ended to say anything about it... I guess the Army ordered a MK48 cab for a HEMTT by mistake... Brand new sold for $353 Later, Joe

Well, I won the 816 on EPay and am working on getting it shipped out here. Is there anyone in the North Jersey area who could go check it out for me before I send off the full payment for it? PM me if you can help. The wrecker is pretty complete, it even has one of the tanks (the fat one) in...

Was cruising the net today and came across this... I have no affiliation with the seller, but with all the 10 ton discussions the last few days, I thought someone might be interested. http://www.armyjeeps.net/Birmingham/birmingham_alabama_collection.htm Later, Joe

I'm looking at a pair of wreckers right now, one is a 543 with a Mack engine and a 816 with a Cummins and need some help. I know something of the Cummins 250, but absolutely NOTHING about the Mack so I need someone who knows these engines to give me some details about them. Some questions: How...

I found a military salvage yard in Lamar CO today. Bunch of deuces, lots of 800 series 5 tons, a couple of 900s 1 FMTV + extra cab, and 6 HEMTTs - 3 w/ cargo beds. He also had some M37s and other stuff around. He even had a 10 ton... I finally got to see one up close and MAN are they...

I am looking at a few different options for purchasing a wrecker and wanted some other opinions before I pull the trigger on one. I know only I can make the final decision, but outside input is always nice. Here is the list of what I have access to and price is not the only deciding factor: M62...

During my search for a wrecker, I came across this one and thought I'd pass it along. It's a gasser tractor wrecker. Says it runs and moved under its own power a while ago and I'm trying to get more specifics on price and running condition. I'm talking to him about the M62 sitting beside it for...

Can anyone tell me which wrecker this is and what it might be worth? It's for sale and the seller says that it's a gasser that runs and operates but needs a tune up. Is an early wrecker any more or less desirable than a later one? Thanks

Is there anyone in the Des Moines area who can go check out an 818 for me before Wed? (I know, short notice, but I just found it...) Thanks, Joe

I'm thinking of bidding on an 818 in the Johnston Auction, but would like someone to check it out for me first. (it ends on Wed though) Can anyone help? Thanks Joe

I'm on the hunt for a deuce tractor somewhere on the west side of the country, anyone know where one is? Next question is, once I find one, what should I look for outside of the normal deuce stuff? Since it's a tractor, do you need a CDL to move it around (without a trailer) or would I be ok...

So I've been looking for a MV that would suit my needs and serve a purpose in my fleet other than a really big OD toy (finances don't support such things at this time) and decided that a wrecker would be really useful. Only thing is that a 5 Ton would be huge overkill (unless the finance thing...
