Saw a picture of this online, I can't find any information about it. Looks like a small trailer, maybe M1101 based, 2 axle with a fifth wheel hitch? Looks interesting, but I can't find any nomenclature on it. Is this an issue item, or custom?
It shouldn't be that hard for you to do PM work on your truck, gimp. You perfected the ultimate maintenance position for the truck, makes it a lot easier to get underneath the truck and work on it! :)
Old gennies like that are neat, and also easy to work on. If you need parts, you'd be surprised how many are either still available under different part numbers, or make your own gaskets, etc.
Nice save!
Very. There are only a few guys on this board with one, and they are well sought after. They were all made in the 1950s, so most of those made have been turned into Toyotas several times over by now.
Stupid me - didn't think of that. I couldn't understand in my mind why having them was such a priority in the first place, they didn't keep the axle fluid in, they were only used for steering so it wasn't going to threaten burning up bearings.

Thanks, Bob. I even went one more, made up some govt.-like tags for the radio that I will attach prior to shipping out to customer. I left the model number and serial number spots blank, as well as the date, so I can fill those in regardless or whether I choose to stay in the PRC-25/77 field...
I love Haspin, but even if things get better by year's end the timeframe from September to October is very busy, MV wise, for me. VA rally and Gilbert PA in September, then Rausch Creek PA and the USS Torsk maintenance weekend in October.
But, I would say that if I was closer to IN, I'd...
Huh? Is that Canadian law? Good Lord, if there was a law against having rust holes in a vehicle prior to insurance verification, half the darn vehicles in the Southern US would fail inspection.
