Brian,what time are you leaving to drive down,we may could convoy down together?

Brian,I would take the wrecker,nut it looks to bad for a public appearance.

I can have the Deuce + a M105 or a M54A1(still white in color) or my M62 wrecker(still unrestored),we just need contact info.

IT'S MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my new credit card with a high limit. :mrgreen:

Not a problem Cabell,we had it fixed in about 20 minutes. Bjorn,I did include that 5 gallons of biodiesel,I only birned 105.6 gallons of regular "fossil" diesel.

Lance, The TP-50 is the tire pressure marked just above each tire or between the tandems on dual axle trucks.The number 8 on the door is the Bridge weight clasification,this is also marked in the plate mounted on the grill on both trucks.As for the number on the glove box door,that is the...

To answer several questions,yes all the GOER series of vehicles were designed to swim. Kenny,yes that was a M51A2 dump on the trailer,now it has taken the GOERs place in the collection. It weighs in at around 38K lbs,I believe the museum is planning on getting it running and driveable. P.S...
