RE: congrats Great score!!!!!!!!

RE: oil Just changed my M813 and used Rotella 15w40 because that was what was stenceled under the hood.

A scrapyard close to me has three CCKW's complete but rough. 45 miles weat of Savannah Ga.

RE: What would cause a no brakes situation in an M 818 Tract David kcgonso has them on e-bay all the time and also kits. I picked up two airpacs from hime before so many people found him for around $100.00 each. They usually bring a little more than that now. He has quite a few parts and has...

RE: Re: Crazy kid!! To bad you are so far away. A metal salvage yard close to me here in Ga probably has most of what you need. My M543 wrecker was also missing windshields, but the frame was there, doors, cab bows, and both winches, and headlights. I got doors from Rdixiemiller, headlight...

RE: Re: RE: M105 Tow ring flip and other questions. I towed mine home behind my one ton truck with the front very low. When I got it home sprayed penatrating oil on it and hit it with a hammer. It lossened right up and could be rotated with a bar stuck in the ring. I think it is supposed to...

Good looking truck. To bad about the U-joint!!

Great job. Thanks for the pictures.

Have you tried the logsa site?

Price sounds good to me for a clean truck.

Came up as Baxley and not Odum. I assume Odum has a Post Office. Of course Wayne may not live where his treasures are.
