New vehicle in the stable

[wreckerman893]

Well, I traded the M52 for a deuce tractor today.
Got it from a logger that found out it wouldn't pull a log trailer on the road.
I was aided and abeted by my long suffering sidekick Freightrain.
He was at the Primary LZ doing an autopsy on the engine in the 816.

Nice. Is that your trailer?

 

[scooter01922]

holy cow that color is ugly. Toss on a coat of OD and it looks good to go

 

[Desert Deuce]

Wow, very nice. Looks like a N/A Multi?? Nice straight quater fenders. Please tell us more about its condition and particulars.

Added: in fact the entire truck (What we can see in the pictures) looks virtually perfect.

You know,I need to start me a diesel repair shop so I can get paid to fix ALL your broken down trucks!

It is other than the rubbers in the torque rods,All tires,and the air filter setup(Looks like it came from an old farm tractor).Missing pintle hook and rear shackle and mounts,Exhaust rusted out about normal.Non turbo,Heat,Hard top,air shift,1968 model.

And it"s all mine.......muhahahahahahahahaha

Looks like a nice truck and as kevin pointed out, very nice quarter fenders. I suggest you start spraying the bolt holding the quarter fenders on with Kroil so that they are easier to remove at the GA Rally next year! I'll bet lunch that it is a 66 Kaiser Jeep.

actually,1968 per the dash and the stack of inspection papers in the map box....even though it said LD427 on the papers but the block tag says LD-465.

 

[deess]

nice truck

 

[Recovry4x4]

See, can't trust the papers if it says its a 68 with an LD427 (which never existed). Post up the VIN so we can pick it apart.

I have a 70 or 71 M35A2 with a REO Motors Data plate that says M35A2. I thought that Reo was long gone by then , so why are there printed plate for them??
