I couldn't bring myself to part that truck. My brother is in Afgan. and is looking for 5 ton axles. For that price it was ripe for a part truck. Nice save.Woo Hoo!!!!
Glad you got it Kenny. I was afraid it was going to become another rockcrawler's axle donor.

Is you M59 in good shape and complete? If so could you in any way take some pictures of the toolbox setup and the fuel tank area? I would like to see some good up close shots..

Don't know what the deal is with that but it wouldn'd be a '70s truck being a gasser and I think they only buit M59s in the early years. Maybe somebody swapped out the dash at some point.
Edit- Went back and looked at the pics. I think that's the data plate for the hardtop.

Hey Zak let me know what Kenny says. If you could tow it to your place could I take Kenny' parts off it there? I could then come down and tow it home with my wrecker. I am just stacked up busy right now and that would help to get some breathing room. Is your dumper up there?

I'm certainly OK with that. I just can't get a return email from these folks.

Lane I don't have a tow bar otherwise everything would be good. Yes the dump is in Green bush. If we can get it up here than time is of no problem. Talk with DaveP I think he is coming this way next week end, maybe he can supply his help and or tow bar.

I don't know if he can help but he could get you my tow bar. I will see him tororrow and chat with him.. I think he will be driving some type of land train so I am not sure of the help.. We will work it out. If this guy cant wait I will just go get it.

after looking at the map it will be easier to just grab it in Linwood and truck north.. Its a better shot up I-75 than those hills coming across from Green Bush..

Lane, we have at least 2 weeks to fetch it, maybe more!
Update, just paid for it. She is having her brother search for the data plate that looks to be removed for painting. She said 30 days to hook it out of there but I don't want to wait until the last day and scramble to move it.

Thanks Larry! I'm still waiting on contact info from the seller. I may take you up on your offer for Thursday just to make sure it can be towed by Lane. I'd also try to con you into some better pics, especially of the quarter fenders and spare tire carrier / tool box. Saved yer number if you want to delete it!
