    M36A2 / Anyone near SECO Augusta GA?

    There is one of these at an equipment yard in Claxton, Ga. Has not been run in 4 or 5 years and does not look as clean as this truck. He was asking $8000.00 which I thought was to much. Anyone interested I can check it out.

    M816 power questions

    My M813 smokes very little and I had some questions about power on the 750 mile road trip I just made. It would strain going up hills with no load in the bed. The fuel filter was new and the old one I took out was clean as a whistle so no junk in the tank. I followed Ron's tractor wrecker for...

    Who needed the door mechanism for the Pax side?

    Hey Robert, if it needs a home I could use it. I picked up a good door at a junk yard and the latch does not work. I just installed the doors I got from you on the wrecker and painted the 813 with the carc you let me have. I needed two more quarts to finish the truck so I ordered a gallon of...
