No pics. If it IS a genuine M27 then pics would be cool. Plus we could see if its a restoration candidate or just rust held together by paint.

Seeing that the 2 1/2 ton truck never really significantly changed post war they probably took the Wrecker sets and bomb hoists and simplified the construction. Forging compound curves and bending I beams 'the hard way' give way to simpler welded/bolted construction. The M35 lacks the many...

The M27 was just a production CCKW with the rigging added. As I mentioned both the M27 and the No. 7 set were mounted to wood bodied CCKWs. If you looked up the TO&E for a WWII bomber unit (or probably even a fighter unit) it would tell you how many M27s were allowed. They would then grab the...

And don't forget that you will need the PTO and the associated shafts/brackets to power the thing. So if you do look at the truck, take a peek under the cab for a PTO and shafts running to the rear.

I was referring to the picture of the No 7 set posted on the third page. He stated that he had a #7 set. It might be, but not according to the CCKW manuals... and to put in on a CCKW it would not be representative of the original vehicle. Please read my posts and if you are unsure of their...

The trolley is the big ticket item. Everything else is just I beams. Add that is not a WWII production #7 Wrecker set. WWII wrecker sets where tube steel and forged. Might be post war. Note rounded beams.. nothing was at an angle. There also was/are a special reinforcing bracket to...

I was fully aware that the cab was shot. I have a cab and engine.. it was the dump parts that got my attention. The bed floor was shot, but most everything else was in good shape... nothing that could not be replaced. And all the parts were there for use as a pattern (it even had the spare...

hehehehehe Hating the guy with common sense is easier than apologizing for the rash and bitter statements they have made. As to 'saving the truck because someone may need a part' that is a noble statement. I wish I could have save the dozen+ trucks I have gotten parts off becuase I knew at...

You do know that the wood steering wheels are SUPPOSED TO BE PAINTED. Right? OD, just like everything else in the Army.

What good is a fuel tanker without the reels, pumps and hoses? I am not saying they are WITHOUT value, but not as much as a most people think.

Without pics value cannot be given accurately.. or even inaccurately. It would help if you can get a frame SN number, engine pics, cab pics and if there is a data plate(s) those also. Just showing 4 sides will not be a much value. The VALUE is in the details. Post as much as you can.

Do you know enough about M27s yourself to be able to ID the parts that should be there? I don't place a super high premium on variants as the parts that are most likely missing will be a biatch to find 'in the wild' So you may never actually find them and be stuck with a truck that is little...
