Although it was auctioned out of the FT. Lewis DRMO, it could have came out of Fairchild AFB. When I got my truck out of Fairchild a few years back the guy in charge of the site told me that they ship most of their stuff to FT. Lewis to auction in off. The reason my truck was being auctioned at...
I can an 89 that I recovered from Fairchild AFB and it has vacuum wipers and no power steering. Whom ever you bought it from must have done these mods. Also the front pintle hitch is handy for pushing trailers into parking spaces thats why they were added. Take a look at this months MV contest...
Okay, I'll self nominate my 1989 M35A2C. I won this truck a few years ago from a GL auction out of Fairchild AFB, WA. It has just over 5K miles on it. This is my favorite photo of it with my jeep. The second photo is my wife doing a push back on the trailer I just recovered from another GL...
That's what I needed to know. Found one locally for sale and would rather buy it than one of the newer ones. Personally the older ones have better lines and curves, where as the newer ones look like a refrigerator box.
Looking at getting one of these 5 tons and had a question as to the amount of room in the cab. If you were to compare it to a M35, would you say that there is more room for the driver in a M813 or is it the same as the M35?
Your not alone with the color. I picked this one up from my neighbor down the road. Recovery was approximately 1 mile. This truck was used by the local VFD. I'm probably going to keep it this color and hopefully use it in some local parades.
Used mine in the ALS ice bucket challenge. I called it the deuce bucket challenge. Took 3 tarps and duck tape to make a liner and than filled the bed with water and ice. Had myself and three kids sit at the rear of the truck and dropped the tail gate. It may have not been the exact way to do the...
Congrats on the jeep. I seen that posting but got busy and didn't get a chance to call the PO until later in the day. When I did have time to call him he said someone was coming by the next day to look at it. He told me to call him the next day but I knew with the number of collectors out your...
If you are sure its a M151-A1 than the years produced would be 1965-1969. They did start the design change in 1964 so it could be a late 64. If your horn has its data tag on it there will be a date on it as well. You could use that date if all else fails because unlike engines and transmission...
Without the data plates its a crap shoot. However, on the center of the firewall there should be a BUDD # if you get in touch with the muttguru on the g838.org site he can get you in the ballpark for a year. You can than take that info and find a replacement data plate and stamp that info on the...
