Appels 6x6 Oshkosh plow truck

[jcappeljr]

Not a military truck,Hopefully this is the right section to post this.I just bought this truck from a Mass.airport.They used to plow snow with it,then they put the fifth wheel on it to pull a snow melter.I am going to put a 13' or 14' dump bed on it and a power angle plow.They removed the hyds. from it.I will have it ready for next winter.Looking for a nice dump bed it someone has one for sale.Not sure which model this truck is.Its in good shape,surface rust mostly.

Pretty cool. I looked but couldn't find a solid Oshkosh truck near me.

They are hard to find.

What you do not see very often is a THREE axle plow truck

 

[jcappeljr]

Yeah,I looked a good bit ,I found a few 4x4s.And a couple 4x4s with drop axles.I was glad this was a 6x6.

The air force did buy a version and painted them different colors

John. Cool rig. Is this the one Craig hauled? We have nice take off m817 dump beds with sub frames and cylinders ready to mount. Dave

I love it!!! Are you going to use that to do the states job in the southern end of the county? I remember an old farmer back in the blizzard of 94/95 that opened up drifts on roads down 74 with an old converted combine "snowblower" that had twin Cadillac 500's powering the "stages".

I plan on putting it on with the state next year.
