    Code name BART (Bad A** Recovery Truck)

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    May I start the deluge of replies, point by point..... City busses and trash trucks - just don't build your camper with a ton of crap hanging off of the sides. Your biggest issue will be turning radius of the deuce. Have good mirrors - including a view down infront of the front bumper. Back...

    Help Identify this Building Mover MV

    Hate to be the grammar police - but it's actually a "Dragon Wagon". There is a vet in town who drove the armoured one in WWII and a friend in the UK has one - with trailer. There was a thread some years back with pics of the one that NASA had.

    Tool Fabrication

    Well - if people want to poo poo your "solution" or your engineering skills - it's their problem! Good job. A lot of my posts include going beyond the TM's to maybe help others when I find an issue. Isn't there a vent on those tanks? I am sure that the design specs for the vehicle included...

    American flag M-816 wrecker

    It's also against the "Flag Code" to let it touch anything else other than the pole - so the boom needs to be avoided too.

    M816 Wiring Diag

    Next step - isolate brake light switch from turn switch, run dedicated turn wires from front amber lamps to new rear amber lamps and a seperate but combined brake to factory red lamps. Blackout remains as original.....

    M920, to keep or swap out 5th wheel setup

    CB - doesn't the king-pin "float" or at least come out so that it doesn't get buried in the dirt/damaged by blacktop-hard surfaced roads when lowering the gooseneck to the ground? Therefore an alternative king-pin (2") could be used instead.......? If it weren't for the locking pins in the...

    Wrecker wishlist of mods

    That was me playing with the original image, as I did for the 4x4, the 10x10 etc. Just a computer concept developing my 'Photoshop' skills.
