Great looking truck! I've got a pic of that one with a cargo bed on it, glad it's back to a tractor.

One of my m1028s has stainless lines all around. I forgot where I got the kit but wasn't too impressed with the fit if I remember right.

Welcome from VT.

Warn should still make a hitch that will bolt up to a K5, but I think it needs an extra bolt drilled because of the front shackle mounts on the CUCV. I installed one on my m1028 a few years back. It's hard to see in this pic but it sits under the bumper.

Yep looks like a stock m105 series trailer, other than front leg (and perhaps the wiring).

The air intake parts indicate it's powered by a multifuel, making it an m51a2. Direct drive transmission is stock.

Looks like the trucking company I've had move the last few deuces is willing to give this a shot. Sounds like it's happening on the 5th, we'll have a crane service load and then unload the boat then we'll make another trip up to get the bridge truck.

Yep, it's the bridge weight.

The red trailer would carry it if it was in better shape. All the tires are old and cracked and I know nothing else about it so I don't want to tow it home with any weight on it. I guess the owner had the red stepdeck for the purpose of putting the boat on it, he had another one that's...

They were all over place a year or two ago, maybe they dried up. For the 20k lbs front winch, 5/8" cable.

The surplus blocks for 5 tons are not hard to find. I might have one in VT but I won't ship it.

Nothing that would be ideal, the big trucks are few and far between around here. I think the only somewhat local member that actually drives a truck that would handle it doesn't have a long enough trailer. The trucking isn't too bad, the tow company that said they could do it would be using a...

That's something I've thought about. I certainly won't let the boat get cut up, it looks too good to trash. The trucking was reasonable enough, the rate for a wrecker to load it and tow the bridge truck was the deal killer. I'm hoping to hear back tonight from the other tow company that has...

Boat stands for Bend Over And Take.:( So far the rate for moving the boat and bridge truck is more than I paid for them both and the step deck trailer... and I could almost buy the boat again afterwards. Hopefully it's worth something!

No lead required.

You'll get there eventually. Braking should be ok and handling too, as long as the blazer is in good shape (which it is). I had a parts rig with steering problems that was not fun to flat tow. Putting the blazer on a trailer would be my first choice because of the better handling and braking...

Yeah something tells me they'd be able to move it!

Yeah all the pics of them on trailers on the web show them on a flatbed with very minimal cribbing. It really shouldn't be a difficult task, I just need to find someone willing to do it (and do it at a reasonable enough price). I think the slickest way to get it done would be to have a tow...
