    Virgin Recovery from Gulfport

    Split Circuits Emmado22: I checked your list and sure enough, it seems to meet many of your criteria for a late model AF truck. Data plate indicates '87 delivery. And there are two air reservoirs underneath -- I got a look at both when I attempted to drain them at pick up. It did not come...

    Virgin Recovery from Gulfport

    Thanks Thanks, everyone. Given the serial no. prefix, I believe it is an '87. The tires are Fidelity 9:00 - 20s. Sorry, but I'm such a novice that I don't yet know how to tell if the brakes are a split circuit. I'd never been in the cab of an M35 prior to picking this one up, so...

    Beaufort, SC to Houston, TX

    Thanks! Thanks for the offer, JWaller, and to everyone for their advice. Eric with Hotshot is handling the pick up and delivery of the trailer, and has managed to get on this project in record time, and at a good, fair price. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Eric. CINCPAC

    Virgin Recovery from Gulfport

    Beaufort, SC to Houston, TX

    Thanks for the advice concerning transportation. Like John Wayne said, a man needs to know his limitations. Thanks also, JWaller, for the offer of transport to Atlanta for a fee. I'm waiting on a quote from a broker now for the entire distance, and will let you know what happens. You might...

    It's a small world! I'm what on the drilling rig you call a "worm" on this site: the new guy. And what do I find but good people here driving around in my old backyard: Blakey Ridge, Double Top, etc. Please let me know when someone figures out a way to rock scramble their way to the top...

    Beaufort, SC to Houston, TX

    Howdy! This is my first post, and I want everyone to know that I've appreciated all of the lists of what to take when picking up an M35A2C. The EUC has finally come through (auction was July 15, and hopefully we'll be able to drive it home from Gulfport, MS. What does this have to do with...
