The truck is really pretty solid, one rust through in the bed wheel well, a gin pole attachment to remove, the passenger seat is missing, front blackout lights missing, winch guard cut, tow hooks missing and windshield missing. But it was running when it was parked!!!! in the early 1970's. James

I made my weekly call to the local Dial-A-Trade radio show and had a hit! Guy said he had a Burma Ford truck. He has no idea on the price, I am thinking $500. James

Area 52: PM sent. James

My recovery of my beat M105 trailer and large towbar could have gone better! I got the Trailer and twobar for $191, I really just wanted the towbar for my wrecker. Called ahead and found out one trailer tire was toast. The GL folks were very helpful with the recovery( I take back "some" of...

They should just pull out, it goes a lot easier if you have two to pull the sides, but one can do it. If the trailer is a little beat up you may want to take a hammer and a short piece of 2x4 to tap the rails up. James PS: if they are fiberclass you want to take it easy on the tapping.

Looks pretty clean, nice save. James

Those aren't beans those are black eyed peas! And they look like they have been in the jar for a while! The truck also came with two fuel cans, electric powered drum pump, pliers, a pile of sockets and small tools, a hand operated vegetable slicer, over one hundred Barts Root beer cans, two...

Get it running first, new NDTs, then add a full winch setup I have some where in storage.

Mine is non-functional as well, I think it is just the inline air regulator, but a TM would be great! James

As I was cleaning out the truck I found another little nugget I wasn't expecting, under the drivers seat was the spinner and retaining plate for the spare tire, those two accessories seem to be the first things lost once they are surplussed! James

Turned in my EUC on Friday and on Wednesday it has cleared so in the last six months my EUC record is 4 months for the longest to three business day for the shortest! James

Update: I had to do something with that faded fire engine red. So six dollars of surplus paint and it's kind of OD. Still red on the inside, but the astro turf is gone. This is the first M37 I have owned that had the seat wood intact much less having the original seats and covers there...

My 818 came equiped. the black boxes are mounted about a foot off the floor behind the pass. seat in the cab.(above the batt. box ) James

Anyone near to Mount Olive, Mississippi? A quick inspection of some equip. would be a big help. James

Stan: I read this article prior to posting and in fact since it didn't answer my basic question of was there an actual Kitchen/Mess Truck produced for the US military I wanted to post for an answer. Since when I go and talk to the owner he will be of zero help with info on the vehicle, he was...

I was down there three weeks ago and they were absolutely no help in any way, what should have taken 45 min. with a fork truck took me three hours using my winch. Take everything you will need to make the recovery. I guess they will have to help with the double stacked trailers, but don't...

Jason, where are we on the event, I will be there even if I have to trailer my 715 there. James

Did the trucks come with hard shelter on the bed are were they all canvas covered, was there a actual kitchen truck with an M designation in the US inventory? The way he was talking this one sounds like it is a van type bed? James

My junk man called to tell me he just pickup a 5 ton cargo(rough no IP), a M543, and a deuce with a kitchen unit on the bed(hard top?), this is the same guy who has the half track. I am going down to see him week after next. Anyone familiar with a deuce model set up with a kitchen unit for...

I have a 715 that was a contact maint. truck, it already has dual pto's I have been thinking of running a hyd. pump off the transfer case pto to power the front winch since the engine conversion interferes with the winch shaft. I even has a couple of hyd. pumps laying about to drive the...
