Is there a military museum or collection in the Pigeon Forge, Sieverville area ???? A relative of mine (Bruce Atchley) used to have a car museum in the area.
I took my M-819 out today and recovered the back end off of a 1/2 ton command car. Not the best back end. I am just going to give it to a guy who has a front end. Tom @ Snake River
Today, July 26th 2008 I bumped into a guy from Wisconsin who was bring a Ford 6x6 up from Barstow. I asked him how he got along with Dave.
He said that Dave went out of his way to be a Royal PITA. He said that he also purchases GL from other bases and gets along there very nicely.
I still...
Will bridge truck rims from a M-812 fit on a standard axle ? ? Or are they too deep dished ? ? ? Junkyarddog and others are looking for super singes. I have a full set for sale. Tom @ Snake River
You need to do more homework. As much as I like the dealers, and when they go out the door - they work. But if you buy off of GovLiq, most 800 wreckers go for $10,000 to &20,000 range. I run a M-819 that I bought for $15,000.
In cleaning out one of our M37's we did find a spent 50 cal round in a crack in the back of the bed.
While target shooting one day at a old gas cylinder, we returned to the Ford pickup to find an indentation of the heel of a .223 round that had flown by our heads and hit the pickup.
Some of my...
Finally recieved 2 - SF-97's today, one on a trailer and one on an M812 bridge truck that I had purchased 2 years ago.
The reason I am happy, is that a year or so ago, I applied and GL told me that since the sale was over a year old, they would not consider issueing a SF-97.
I then complained...
My light weight with fuel was 47,300, according to the book the 3 vehicles should weigh in around 14,600 for a total weight of about 62,000.
As for driving, the truck was running very well, and I was well pleased with the power. Unloaded you can cruise at about 55 mph and loaded maybe the 50...
If you are looking for an all steel trailer, your GVW goes all to h---. I run an M-819 with a M-270 trailer. I licenced it for 50,000 and went down and got a light weight WHAM-O 47,000 lb.s Not much margin for pay-load. Here is a link to the picture...
It is Ebay # 200233102473 and it is right next door to me. I need to go look at it. You always like to get into a project on the cheap, but it always ends up biting you in the rear in the end - money wise.
I am working on 2 T-15 weasels and I am up to $5,000 apiece in cash outlay and...
Would it be worth the time and effort to put a DUKW hull on a CCKW ??? Or how about a M-135, making a super DUKW ? ? ?
Or would it be a total PITA and end up with a scabbed togeather outfit ??? Tom
What is "with 53" ??? I would swap a full set of bridge truck rims, but I understand that they are too deep to fit on a std axle. They have a full set of 14:00x20 NDT's. Tom
