Long time stalker first time posting. Would like to say hello everyone.

Won this beauty on 26 jul govplanet auction to my surprise I usually got out bid by someone willing to pay more than I. Just got delivered to Michigan yesterday. This is my second MV if you count Retired Air Force passenger bus 1961 B600.

The good
It's a runner. All the tires appear to be in good shape. The spare didn't get robbed or the turret cover. Check the fuel to make sure had enough to start an get off the trailer.

The bad
Fuel sending unit damage plug not connected. Fuel gauge pegged past full. Will need new batteries. Alternator is questionable. Will have to look into that more. The alignment of the cab safety switch doesn't look right. No pictures of that. Leak driver side front axel.
Here's the link for it.

Pictures at my brother in law house

Two short videos coming off trailer. Looks like can't be downloaded or I don't know how.
Thanks everyone looking forward to all comments.

Welcome and congratulations. I hope you cherish that rare airdrop truck as I do mine.

They are nice trucks. It won't take much to get it all right. Prob just needs new batts and the regulator lead jumped to the fuel solenoid positive to provide a good 24v to excite it.

I do. Turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Pictures are hard to go by.

Thanks Suprman. I've been reading your post about running that wire.

Nice buy!
Plan on greasing everything really well. Change out that old oil and tranny fluid.

I'll have to go thru truck making a list of this to do. First priority will be fluids, filters, and electrical
