Terry I like you already!! A M332 and a Pack rat........Thats my kind of MV'er. Looking forward to the pics. You got my e mail, use it if you got questions.Hello all. Zev has offered me the use of this thread, Thanks Zev!. I posted some of my ideas as to how the truck will be restored. After sitting down and looking at the plan it stay the same however, once the truck makes it up hearand is cribbed up ,I will start at the front remove bumper,grill,windshield frame, fith wheel, ramps,tool box and decking and have those bead blasted,primed and repainted along w/the new hood. I have a good set of front fenders to replace what is on, however I have a lead on some NOS fenders which is what Im looking at. I bought on a whim from Saturn NOS quarter fenders that go behind the fuel tank and rear tandem years ago. I have NOS lift shackels for the front, new refectors red/orange and host of small used/new parts. Looking at the amount of work that will be done in cases like the quarter fenders I had a$50.00 quote to bead blast, however NOS at Saturn was $39.00 so yes it cheaper to buy new, but not always the case,I do like used parts over new, but it makes more sense to buy new in some cases it is the better idea. I found in my parts bin boxes the upgrade for the spin on oil filter kit. I have tracked down new exhaust parts.Im a self admitted pack rat. I also in process of restoring my M328 bridge truck so I do trade off in between other projects, Im hoping to have it ready for some local truck shows,yes it is a tad bit wide but it does fit in between the lines on the road. I found a donor truck at Royalton,Mn Ricks salvage,I have known Rick for several years but just know this, he is scrapper and does not care about our hobby, all of the trucks he has have no titles they come out of Camp Ripley as scrap. I did get a mint pair of mud flaps for M328 project to complete the destroyed mud flaps, if you know about bridge trucks at least the old ones they are huge and are not plentiful. Depending on his mood you will need a lot of $$$$$. I really appreciate all the help/advice that is coming my way until next time, Thanks guys Terry
The hydraulic hoses on my wrecker are in very bad shape. Also have no experience using the wrecker and didn't want any problems. The buyer payed for the tow truck 8 months ago. It was a miracle day!!!!!!!!!Hey Zev why didn't you just use your own wrecker? But hey I know you are happy to see that truck gone. And hey I recognize that dump truck tank.
