New M813 coming home soon, need year and manufacturer

[breelanr]

New to the 5-Ton Forum, been hanging in the Deuce Forum.

I guess now I am running "multi-forum"

Awaiting EUC for new truck, I'd like to get insurance prior to pickup. I only have the vin# C125-10244, no contract# or registration# as of now.

Can anyone identify the year and manufacturer?

DDoyle, medlog or anyone, any wisdom to share?

Very nice truck I think yo will really like the big boy feel of it as well as the power steering.

Have fun - any questions you know where to go.

We have one exactly like it Ray. We use ours for fighting wildland fires and as I post to this thread, it is at a monster grassfire 20 miles north of here. As mentioned above, you will definately find that the power steering is a nice feature of the 813. Ours is also a 70 Kaiser.

Where did that purdy truck come from?

 

[breelanr]

This one is from Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs. It appears to be a Colorado National Guard (CONG) truck.

It did. It's a 1995 depot overhaul with 2002 miles, the engine and underside are in showroom condition. The biggest plus...I only have to move it 50 miles.

Nice truck Ray, really shapeing up the neighborhood!

Here ya go:
Organization: 3RD BATTALION 140TH AVIATION REGIMENT, COMPANY B RECON
Location: AURORA COLORADO

Nomenclature:TRUCK CARGO 5-TON Model:M813 W/W NSN:2320000508890
Serial Number:C12510244 Registration Number:5A54270 Year of Mfg:1970 Usage Miles: 1871

The truck was at the 3650th Ordnance Company Direct Support Maintenance Non-Divisional prior to going to the aviation unit.
There was no manufacturer cage code information but David Doyle should be able to help you out based on the year and type of truck.
Appears to have been turned in around Feb/Mar of 2007.

Hope that helps.

Mike,
Thanks, I may have to plan on another garage if I don't stop soon.

Got lots of room here if you just need to store it outside.
