So no one is looking for it to be fully functioning? Just installed for looks, or to sit in the garage? I don't get it.

Really? Why not just look it up in the TM? As Ferro mentioned, the install of Bjorn's is documented here. As I recall, his was (as usual with everything he does) very well done and well thought out.

The bed could be civi, but I would look at what appears to be data plates on the bed in pics 5 and 6. As far as the truck, the data plate seems to indicate a M35 w/w. Do you have a better pic of the data plate, particularly the lower right corner where it mentions REO? Interesting turn...

What part of Illinois are you from? Nice truck, not too many gassers left. JT will do you right on the gasket set BTW...

I have to admit, good detective work finding that one...

I have watched these sell (both trailer and truck mounted) anywhere from $600 to over $20,000 in every condition imaginable, all in the last 5 years. Most are in the $8000-$12,000 range. It obviously all depends on who is needing/wanting one at the time.

-Ok, as others have stated these are special bodies mounted to either trucks or trailers. -I am the "other member" that Rory is referring to as far as the warnings on the hinges; it is NOT fun trying to catch one of the batwings and put it back up by hand! -The manuals are quite easy to find...

Find a place without a HOA...they stink.

At this point it is looking like it will be in late Aug or early Sept in 2011. Already have quite a few MVs lined up...(including a really big one)

Good looking truck! I hope to be having an event or two locally for us next year....

Good to see you are still here Eddie....

Welcome to the site. I'm just across the river from Perryville; what town in MO are you from? There is a guy off of HWY 60 by Poplar Bluff that has a few for sale from time to time...

My old gasser? How about those alternators Gimp??? ;)

Which is worse, bowl issues or bowel issues?

seems to happen from time to time with this site, been noticing it for a few weeks now

That should do it. I've never needed to use it on any of the trucks I have here, even when it gets into the single digit temps.

That is the flame heater. Disconnect it and forget it. They are noted for leaking fuel into the intake. You will never need it anyway.

Yes, on the gassers it was a mechanical bellcrank/linkage arm that ran across the firewall to the starter on the passenger side of the engine. All of the truck frames that we deal with are heat treated. As far as the other shifter lever, it operates the REB kit that is on this particular...

The outriggers and other remnants of whatever was on top of the frame rails was added after it's life with the govt. The factory would not have welded (and I use the term "weld" in the loosest sense here, WOW!) anything to the heat treated frame like that. Looks to be a '53 Studebaker M45...

Welcome to the site. You will find a wealth of information and plenty of great people here. BTW, what part of IL are you from?
