I was referring to the picture of the No 7 set posted on the third page. He stated that he had a #7 set. It might be, but not according to the CCKW manuals... and to put in on a CCKW it would not be representative of the original vehicle. Please read my posts and if you are unsure of their...

Call a broker. If the truck runs then you are going to save at least $100 for loading (most charge more if they have to winch it on the trailer). USHIP.com is a possibility, but I don't know many people who have used it successfully. Timing is the issue. They have no real incentive to show...

Duct tape :)

The trolley is the big ticket item. Everything else is just I beams. Add that is not a WWII production #7 Wrecker set. WWII wrecker sets where tube steel and forged. Might be post war. Note rounded beams.. nothing was at an angle. There also was/are a special reinforcing bracket to...

I'll be there. I can show up Friday if needed.. I only live 20 miles away. Its just me and my hound.. maybe GF if I can talk her into it. I don't like to do things before noon, though.

I was fully aware that the cab was shot. I have a cab and engine.. it was the dump parts that got my attention. The bed floor was shot, but most everything else was in good shape... nothing that could not be replaced. And all the parts were there for use as a pattern (it even had the spare...

hehehehehe Hating the guy with common sense is easier than apologizing for the rash and bitter statements they have made. As to 'saving the truck because someone may need a part' that is a noble statement. I wish I could have save the dozen+ trucks I have gotten parts off becuase I knew at...

You do know that the wood steering wheels are SUPPOSED TO BE PAINTED. Right? OD, just like everything else in the Army.

Might have been a class 6, the MV-1 only lists the requested registered gross weight as 17000. It would have cost almost $100 more to get the weight up to the full 18,500.. I'll never need it so thats $100 in my pocket.

From what I understand a vehicle in PA *NEEDS* a PA title. Without a PA title you cannot register a vehicle. I have my 42GPW on historical plates. I might just switch back to regular tags simply because I like to drive it (a convertible AND a machine gun mount WITH a rifle rack!) and the...

What good is a fuel tanker without the reels, pumps and hoses? I am not saying they are WITHOUT value, but not as much as a most people think.

I have a wooden Ben Hur and a CCKW wooden cargo bed to restore and I read TMs on wood repairs and I though it mentioned a preservative mix. I guess that modern 'stuff' if better then anything they had way back when... but with the costs involved I just wanted to double check with someone who...

Without pics value cannot be given accurately.. or even inaccurately. It would help if you can get a frame SN number, engine pics, cab pics and if there is a data plate(s) those also. Just showing 4 sides will not be a much value. The VALUE is in the details. Post as much as you can.

SO you only seal with paint? I have some TMs from the 40s dealing with wood cargo beds and it listed a preservative mix prior to painting. I want to say turpentine but its been a while since I read it.

Do you know enough about M27s yourself to be able to ID the parts that should be there? I don't place a super high premium on variants as the parts that are most likely missing will be a biatch to find 'in the wild' So you may never actually find them and be stuck with a truck that is little...

Actually there are very precise and scientific tests to rate an oil. Your fingers are not one of them :) This is becoming circular... people pop in and say X is great! It *SMELLS* slippery! I recommend it! :roll:

I confused your intent.. I though you were listing ACQUISITION costs. Bidding on a truck and getting it home is one thing. Maintaining it is another. My costs were $1500 + $150 Premium $114 Fuel $75 Filters $50 new belts and radiator hose (not installed, just purchased) $5 Duct tape $60 DOT...

You can preview at GL. 'Test Driving' a truck means little. The lot in Mechanicsburg let me try and start my deuce, test battery, check brake pedal. I doubt a private seller is going to let you rip the truck apart in the driveway. For the money you can save, the GL route is hard to pass up...

Hey MCMULLAG you know that ZMAX was sued in court for false advertising (their goo did nothing): The FTC's complaint alleges that the defendants did not possess and rely on reasonable substantiation for the following claims in the infomercial, on the Web site and in brochures that zMax...
