The mileage and tax paid still has to be accounted for. In PA, there is a NON-IFTA fuel sticker that you need if you never leave the 'juristication'. Done annually vs quarterly.. but still a decal with penalties if you forget to file. The tax is offset (for businesses) somewhat because fuel...

Was it a Magistrate or an actual judge? Unless a law specifically enumerates the vehicle, the term 'such as' and 'for example' are synonymous. The job of a Judge is to interpret the law. The legal definition is clearly open to interpretation, but the clincher should have been the last part...

IFTA was invented to correct the disparity of trucks run through State A and tear up the roads. If the truck never stops for fuel, that State is denied funds to repair the roads that the tucks tear up. So, IFTA said record all your miles for EACH STATE, and also where and how much fuel you...

Where YOU live. Come folks.. not that hard.. every state is different. Next person who makes a blanket 'this is how IFTA works' gets a demerit.

No pics. If it IS a genuine M27 then pics would be cool. Plus we could see if its a restoration candidate or just rust held together by paint.

Some google fu: 2010 Pennsylvania Code Title 75 - VEHICLES Chapter 96 - Motor Carriers Road Tax 9602 - Definitions. "Recreational vehicle." Vehicles such as motor homes, pickup trucks with attached campers and buses when used exclusively for personal pleasure by individuals...

If you get a non-IFTA PA decal you only have to do a filing once per year, instead of the IFTA quarterly. BUT if you fail to file you still get fined for not filing... so you have two ways to lose. PLUS if you want to go out of state (PA) you need a 'trip ticket' thats $50 and only good for 5...

Every State is going to be different. IFTA publishes a 'standard' set of rules, then each state makes changes as appropriate for their specific state. So you have to look up the reg for the state you live in and ignore all the stuff people are posting unless they live where you do. In PA an...

I have a set of troop seats and the head board from a drop side cargo bed I sold a few years ago. Wood is there, but rotted. Metal is good, but will need sandblasted/painted. $50 paid in advance (MO only, no paypal unless you add 5% to cover fees).. I ain't hauling it down to MD without a up...

Scores of restoreable MVs have met an early death because the first thing the new owner did was pump gas in it and start spinning components. Its been sitting for over 10 years... take the motor apart and check for nests, rust, sludge, water, the broken parts that lead to the thing sitting in...

Thats one tall order. I don't think I have seen a 352 with a wooden bed restored. This guy: The GMC CCKW • View topic - CCKW 352 SN 313255B1 AIRBORNE AIRPORTABLE Might have given up on restoration.... can't hurt to ask if its for sale.

The final contract of CCKWs was 120,000 (IIRC) units that was ordered late 44... I can only find generic references to it (the Tankograd book). I did reread the 45 Army Motors article about stuck cargo bows and it mentions 'all steel beds', wooden, and composite steel. No mention of early/late...

I have not seen photos of wooden beds with anything other than the stamped tie downs. I have not seen photo of composite beds with anything other than the forged wire tire downs. The early 'donkey ****' tie downs were from the early all steel welded beds. Pictures 1,3,5 all look like the...

Correct, the composite bed were made up till the end. Problem with using pictures is that there is no way to validate that the bed is original to the frame. The Tomlin CCKWs have many authenticity issues that would bring anything gleaned from them suspect. I would stick to dated photos of...

Found another reference for the all steel bed. The Becker/Dentzer book has an all english addendum. In it they list the bed type and time frames. They make the claim that the steel composite (bolt together steel floor) bed starts in 'Early 1945'. The last TM9-801 came out in 4/1944 and...

The late war all steel beds were not as numerous as the composite bed, but like the all wooden beds they simply wore out. A composite bed would simply have the planks replaced. A wooden bed would simply be replaced (post war, during war there were carpenters to repair them. The tie downs are...

Seeing that the 2 1/2 ton truck never really significantly changed post war they probably took the Wrecker sets and bomb hoists and simplified the construction. Forging compound curves and bending I beams 'the hard way' give way to simpler welded/bolted construction. The M35 lacks the many...

The M27 was just a production CCKW with the rigging added. As I mentioned both the M27 and the No. 7 set were mounted to wood bodied CCKWs. If you looked up the TO&E for a WWII bomber unit (or probably even a fighter unit) it would tell you how many M27s were allowed. They would then grab the...

And don't forget that you will need the PTO and the associated shafts/brackets to power the thing. So if you do look at the truck, take a peek under the cab for a PTO and shafts running to the rear.
