The pool of knowledge on this site and the number of grade A members who have served.................it's really something. We have here the gentleman who owns this thing, someone who worked on it, several guys who are knowledgeable on recovery of this aircraft...the story of what...

I have always thought the M747's were just plain sexy. Fortunately I haven't been able to think of an excuse.....errr, reason to own one, cause that would mean also having to buy a truck that could pull it. Anyone know of a smaller, but similar-looking trailer that would work behind a 5-ton...

No one's posted up the Magpul project yet? WTH?

I'd think you could get maybe $150-200 for the hard top, if it's solid. Better get it before some rock crawler buys it for the axles and throws that motor on its lid on a concrete floor.....but I'd do a little negotiating on that price...;)

Well Hello to a fellow OD sickness victim! I doubt anyone but me would find my MVs beautiful in their current condition, but hopefully with more time invested in them that will change... PM inbound...

Only one obvious hole in your theory that I could see - the "dig out under the flat tire (would only work if flat was an outside tire)" part.......ask any field service tire guy - the inside dual is the only one that ever fails......the odds of an outside tire failing are lower than the odds of...

I used Antelope valley for tune-up parts (points kit, cap and rotor, etc). Might be a good place to check out. "M" Series 5 Ton (G744)

Very nice MASIC. My favorite truck on the thread so far. Is that a real SCAR? Haven't seen too many out there yet...

Hard tops even.......GRRRRR :-(

See my avatar..

Love that rear view!

Hmm - not a good sign.....:-|

I am going for more flotation with my M139 - want to retain the original wheels and go with wider radials - specifically the 15.50s or 46s that are pretty common out there, or possibly 16.00s. I know a couple years ago I saw a pic of a bridge truck with no bed that was dualled up with 16.00s...

Sorry I can't help - just had to stop by to check out the pics of my favorite MV body style of all time....thanks!

:drool:

It is very similar - as far as I can tell it's a lower-quality copy of the Dana 44 - think of GM as the Chinese doing a reverse-engineering job on something of quality into something more.......economical to produce...many similarities, but not identical for obvious reasons. Hmm - brings back...

Agreed... the 10-bolt is a POS and the Gov-Lok is a bigger POS. Neither are suitable for 35s, towing OR wheeling - or worth the cost of a set of gears. You can bet your ass a couple guys will jump on saying they've wheeled or towed for 3,000,000 miles without a failure, but that would be the...

Anyone have a pic of a 5-ton tractor pulling an M747? I would love to see one - curious about the proportions - ****, my M139 is already overwidth...:-D

Trick question right? Legitimate monster trucks haven't used Rockwells in decades........

Easy to tell when you have a piece of heavy equipment stuck - if you step UP out of the cab, you are stuck......:-|
