Das, wish I knew you were looking 2yrs ago, I knew a guy that scrapped out a bunch. I will keep an eye out now though.

We have one of these trucks also, just be aware that they are nearly 12' wide and not really legal for on-highway use w/o special permits. Running gear, axles and frame are the same as the M139 water truck, so you can flip the hubs and run single rear tires/wheels, but the lift frame and side supports are still over width. Still trying to figure out what to use ours for. May cut up frame and mount dump on the hoist system. Pictures of it on here somewhere.

If you use an M812 for "bride recovery" then you have "big" problems. I used mine to recover my bride's car. I've got pallets too.
