New addition, M52

I just saved a few retired military trucks from the scrap heap. Here is the first one of those to arrive. I will wait until Spring then evaluate them to see what to fix and what to dismantle for parts.

Nice save! Bet it's glad to have found a new home! Looks like it's got an interesting history to reveal!

Can't wait to see pics of the others to come!

Is that bed an extra long version?

Looks like a beast! Congrats, hope it won't need too much!

My town retired them years ago. Rather then letting them sit there I made them an offer and they accepted.
The next one arrived today.

Nice!

I gotta tell you, the first one I kind of makes me think it is a 10 ton. That front fender seems higher than a regular 5 ton.

Nice save.

Good question, I will measure it.

They are both the same model. BTW I do have a 10-ton
