A few more shots of the bridge truck: So far there has been zero progress with the boat move. Both the big boat movers in VT have said they can't do it. I sent good pictures of it to both. The local hauler here in Colchester kept me waiting for 3 weeks on the fact he wanted to look at it in...

Maybe an m35 repowered to an LDT? Is the passenger rear engine mount bolted on?

I think it's around $60 a ton up here. Not a lot but it pays for the trip to bring it. Since I've got a few larger items showing up in the near future I'm scrapping out the few junk trucks, cabs, etc. so they'll be a little room in the yard. I hate to scrap this bed but it's rotten throughout...

Not much has happened with the dump truck lately. Since the GMC dump body is so rotted that will be headed to the scrap yard pretty soon. I'll remove the tailgate linkage, some of the hooks, the tailgate itself (good for a pattern) and anything else savable. I'll be keeping the subframe too...

6 hours? I'd check everything.

The m416a1 TM shows both the cap pictured above as well as a short cap with the hex fitting (no tube). Both my a1s had the hex style, while both of my NOS m416a1 surge brake assemblies have the mushroom cap. The version with the tube that SLOrazorsedge mentioned is also a direct swap since the...

It should unscrew normally (counterclockwise).

Looking at the pic it should be a Mack engine. If it was rebuilt in 1975 there is a good chance it was used in Vietnam. All of the rebuilds I've seen sold from the gov. with the rebuild year as the year of the truck.

I've got a front receiver hitch on my m1028, that way I can have a pintle or winch on it (or nothing).

Yep it's got all the plating on the front half. Wish I had a 5 ton wrecker or 2 right about now.

Well it's right next to Lake Champlain. Too bad it's not operational, it's sitting less than 1000ft from the water right now. Though I don't know if it got here via the water or roadway.

Trying to lift the whole front of the boat at once didn't go so well, the pipe truck would lift the front tires off the ground with the boat not moving at all. So we got to work with some bottle jacks on the starboard side. Once it was up a bit the pipeline truck would pick up one corner at a...

The plan is to get it moved to the yard, where it will stay until either I do something with it or someone buys it. It will probably cost me enough the first time! The step deck was a package deal with the LCVP. The bridge truck was added in afterwards, all 3 for a pretty good price in my...

Here's a shot of the engine sitting in the shop. I'll get some more pics of it all when I go up there on Sunday.

I don't have a use for it and I'm really not into boats either, I just had to have it I guess. Looks like we'll head up this weekend with the m756a2 to get a few things done with the boat and truck, maybe load out the 6-71. It's only about 25 miles away so not a long move for it all. Hopefully...

That must have been a good workout for the 880. I've read the wood versions were about 18,000lbs, not exactly sure the weight of the fiberglass ones. The 6-71 diesel is currently out of it as well so that lightens it a little bit. Not quite sure how it ended up where it sits now. The owner...

:shock: I hope I don't regret this one... 36ft LCVP, fiberglass not wood. and it came with a bridge truck too.:shock: Anyone got any advice? :carnac:I see a couple overwidth permits in my future. And a hefty tow bill.:(

The one on the fender is the tire pressure.

Bump, hope to see some of the VT crowd at the rally.

Yep the tank is aluminum. It's a mid 1950's trailer, later ones were fiberglass and then stainless steel.
