    Is there a rattle can that matches CARC color?

    I am a proud owner of a M1078 I just won. Got it home today and I see the yard apes put a nasty dent on the front of the cab. The paint has chipped right down to the metal. Problem is I live in the wet pacific north west. It will rust in no time. I want to do a stop gap measure to help stop any...

    Need 2 batteries. Didn't pull the dipsticks yet but looked at the coolant and that looks good. I have a feeling this truck will run once I get a couple of batteries. The truck looks to be in really good condition and the engine and trans looks clean. The body looks better that I was expecting...

    It's here... WooHoo... Good news is no hole in the transmission! Looks good but the apes at GP dented the crap out the front :x... and it look like someone monkeyed with the relays/fuse box... One thing I look at when I was looking. As of right now I need batteries and a voltage gauge. I know...

    Around 130 miles or so. Not too far but far enough I would need to take some time off work to deal with in person.

    Well it seem that the person is a FLAKE!!! He told me he would have this picked up first thing this morning. I can not even get a hold of him now. I have no idea if he has picked it up or what...This is turning into a nightmare. Needless say I am pissed.

    M1078A1 - Crank no start

    Is that the battery, the round thing with the pink label? I know we use a battery like that at work. If there's a place to solder on some test points to power the unit maybe a way to change the battery? Sounds like a niche market if someone could find a way. I guess CAT is going the way of...

    I have found a person that can move this thing. Found him off Craig's list. I'll let you know how this works out. Maybe a go to guy for people here in Washington?

    Back to to the main question.... Anybody in Washington (wet side) know of a tow company that can tow this? Need to get her here first before I do anything else. I have a bid out on VeriTread but I think they are mainly flatbed type of services. Anyway I live north of there it's at.

    Can't cry over spilled, um, well, trannyfluid now. :-( She is mine bought and paid for. I have been watching these trucks for awhile and just wanted to see how the bidding worked so... I threw in one bid of 3800.00 and didn't think much of it considering the one with the cracked engine went for...

    Yes 3800 bucks must be the one with the hole in the trans :shock: Not that I can't replace a trans... just something I do not like doing. On moving the truck... I know what a landall is but the problem is where I want to put it... Can they be towed on a hook... of course with axle/ drive line...
