    whats it worth

    Jason: If this is the one off 412 in the salvage yard he wants $600 for it. The engine is there but only barely, now water pump or fan assembly. But it does have a tailgate and free turning generator. I wouldn't give him more than $200 max. James G.

    Dolly ID

    Can anyone tell which dolly this is? Even era would be a help, post WWII? It only has one set of tandem wheels with what looks like a landing leg with two solid metal wheels.

    M816 vs M819 Wrecker

    The prices on the two seem all over the scale! Prior to my getting my wrecker, Memphis Equip. and other commercial folks would push the cost of an 816 up to $14K, but last week I saw one in AL sale for $4 grand. From what I have seen both the 816 & 819 sale pretty close to the same, the...

    Tires In Texarkana

    I got the three lots that were not all new tires, I guess about 70% were newish looking, but I only spent on the average $75 for six tires, still way better than any other deal I have seen around here by a long shot! I was expecting the other lots to go for less but they went to over $200...
