M900's I sure hope they remain available! I'd love to own one in the near future. It looks like Oshkosh has begun or is promoting the refurb of the 900 series. I'm just glad to see they went with Cummins!!! http://www.oshkoshdefense.com/pdf/Oshkosh_M939_remanufacture.PDF Andy

I had a guy asking about the useable frame and wheelbase on an M812 bridge truck. I didn't get arount to measuring mine this weekend and would like to get back to him today if possible. Does anyone know how long the useable frame is from the back of the cab to the end of the frame rail? Also...

That looks good behind your M818! East is the Cadillac of trailers! Andy

thanks Thanks M1075 for the offer- I might take you up on that depending on how things go. I'm glad to hear they have a loading ramp!!! JasonJC- Glad to hear you snatched an XM818. I thought most of the tractors in OKC looked pretty decent. Andy

So who won what today? I ended up grabbing an M818 and an M35 out of OKC. My question is does this base have a loading ramps as I'll be shipping these home on a flatbed. This is my first experience buying out of OKC so any experiences/help would be appreciated. Any good contacts at the base-...

Good Deal! Chicklin, Glad to see you found an M35! Looks like a clean truck. Good luck with the recovery back home! Andy

non turbo M35 My first M35 was a non-turbo so I'm kind of partial to these. Simplicity at it's finest. As someone stated these do start well in cold weather. I could get my old N/A M35 to start un-assisted (no ether/block heater) at 10 degrees no problem. I also have a non-turbo M35 for...

thanks doghead! Thats exactly what I needed. I'll give it a whirl later this week and see what happens. Thanks again, Andy

I have a M35 which has the kill cable not pulling the fuel shutoff out of the injection pump. At first I thought it might be just a frozen cable so I unhooked the cable and tried to pull the shutoff on the pump by hand with no success. It looks like there is a small cover held on by two screws...

Mike, You have been a true professional to work with. It's a pleasure to work with someone who enjoys their job and is so helpful. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning to pick up the M35! You take the "Government" out of Liquidation! Welcome to SteelSoldiers! thanks again...

Nice! Love the smoke pictures! Is that a non turbo? You need to take that truck to the earth day parade! Andy

Ross, I would think an M812 Bridge truck would make more sense for your application. This truck would be almost identical for drivetrain to your M818. The M812 has a long wheelbase, double frame, heavy rears and floatation tires so you can drive into your fields with no issues. Parts are...

nice! DD, Nice looking fleet! I can only imagine driving one of these puppies at 112 degrees! It's bad enough in MN when it's 85 degrees! Andy

Thanks I'll see if I can snap some more pictures of the tires. I bet you would fall over when you find out how much these tires cost. Dodge Center, MN home of corn fields and the largest producer of Concrete Mixers and Garbage Trucks in the USA. It's a great place to work. I thought I hit a...

pics Your welcome! I figured if this was painted OD it would fit on this site. It's hard not to post something a beefy as this. This thing hardly clears the doors our 13' 6" frontloaders go through! We get some intersting trucks coming through here from time to time. We actually have some...

I thought you guys might appreciate this Western Star coming through our factory. We get alot of trucks with heavy rears (58k, etc) but not a whole lot that look like they are straight off of a logging trail or oil field. Any guy who can't appreciate this should be put down! 31,910lb empty...

If you are sure you are going to buy that truck just put a deposit or pay for it and have the seller hold it and drive it back after your child is born. My wife is due in 4 weeks and I'm driving an M813 home this weekend thats 8 hours away. Worse case I'll ditch the truck somewhere and have...

Nice looking truck. I agree with Kenny! Where else can you buy a vehicle that can haul 10,000#'s on the road, has a decent turning radious, great throaty exhaust note, decent fuel mileage, 6 wheel drive and the ability to turn heads from someone looking at a $50,000 customer chopper for...

I just used Rapco tan paint last Friday on my 1988 M35a2c to hit the bed hinge areas and other smaller areas on the truck. Paint is a direct match. I could take a picture but you really couldn't tell what I did. I'm really impressed with the match. The paint was at my door approx 4 days...
