Trip to Joe Naglich, PA

[cranetruck]

Visited Joe and John Naglich yesterday in St Marys, PA. Nice people!
The reason for the trip was to pick up M656/XM757 parts and I ended up with a haul, the tire was too much for the little Focus, so they are bringing it to Aberdeen for pick-up at that time...

Well I did get some hard to find parts, in addition to the tire:

1) Muffler, MWOed for this series of trucks
2) Windshield defogging nozzles
3) NOS parts for the entire frame structure for the cab top (no actual vinyl cover, though), two sets.
4) Coolant circulation pump to be used with coolant heater
5) Fuel burning heaters, 3ea, one for coolant heating
6) Rifle mount
7) NOS engine water pump assy, including fan (LDS465-2)
NOS compressor with self adjusting belt tensioner (LDS465-2)
9) Windshield mounted heater controls, only seen pictures of these before....
10) Cab heater exhaust parts with clamps


I'm looking forward to nice weather now so that work can commence.

C'mon Bjorn, the roof is plenty big for the tire. I'd bet ole Foxhole Joe even had ratchet straps to secure it.

I can wait, I'm very (too) patient.

So, does this mean you will be driving up for Aberdeen?

Is that Foxhole Joe? I remember a jingle something like this:

Whatever you do, wherever you go, don't buy from Foxhole Joe!

He must be better to deal with in person.

Hey, good memory James!

 

[cranetruck]

Joe has a sh*t load of stuff warehoused, but not listed on ebay or anywhere else for that matter, if you are looking for a part, give him a call (814 834-101. Who knew he had all those 8x8 parts...
He'll bring it to Aberdeen, I'm sure, if too heavy to ship.

You probably wouldn't need the rachet straps, I'm sure it would mold itself into the roof. Of course might cut down on the head room inside. Nobody likes a smartass!

Here are some of the items installed and tested for fit. Barely visible on top of windshield frame ((driver's side) is the heater control.

Great haul!!!

 

[cranetruck]

Great haul!!!

Yeah, good hard to find stuff. Apparently, these and other parts were removed from the M656s that Joe Naglich and Jim Henry sold to the Dominican Republic, since they were not needed, like the heaters. The image shows how the trucks are used down there, no heater, different cab top and different tires.
