Almost time to bring them home

[BlueToes]

Got these about 12years ago when i had a big truck bug. THen got married and had no time or dough to play/work on them. Now just clearing a spot in the yard for them. Only one mile from my house in my dads yard. A nice road got built right next to them, so should be easy to drag them home now. Then I'll be needing parts. I hear engine is uncommon, and have had hard time finding an exhaust manifold for one of them years ago. Im thinkin I'll have better luck now. I just need to know what I've got first!

Looks like a 1952 M211. First I have ever seen with the arctic personnel heater kit somewhat installed. Parts are not too hard to find, just call around.

Whats the symbol on the door?

My first thought was "Swiss Army Knife"

The Swiss Army Knife with the shopping cart blade is pretty rare I think.

ok, as for the shopping cart, notice the front wheels are missing. now dump large bag of frozen chinken in it, and put foot on bottom bar, and push over fire.... now you have bbq grill that dogs cant rob! also can dump bbq sauce on and the shake em up real good! no spills in fire.... works good for pit bulls that belong too yourself while drinkin and bbq'n

as for the door symbol... not sure. these two were parked near end of friends driveway in neighbors yard. drove by them for many years. one day my friend say's he will sell me some 6x6's. and it's the same ones, and I jumped on them with both feet. I will be lookin into some winches for sure.

I include pics of this weekends doin's. no pics, but heard bear in brush just after munchin burgers off the grill. Pretty sure he was better off in the brush.

Everyone missed the detail. The data plates says "XM211". It's an early production model, nice.

The engine is easy to find parts for, and easy to find a replacement for if it's no good. The hard part is finding the original bed.
