I am sorry to hear this. I know he had health problems over the last several years. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I'll PM you a contact for Sal, who is the guy I worked with.

I can vouch for United States of Freight. They have hauled for me previously. Good team there.

Got it. The subject of the post indicated the truck was an M1083 and that is what I was going on. Yes, you will need an RGN for an M1087.

Is there a cargo cover on the truck? I am asking because I don't think you need an RGN for an FMTV. I have had both an M1085a1 AND M1078 hauled on step decks previously (to MD from KS and IN), but neither of my trucks had cargo covers on them. RGNs are going to cost you more money than a step...

Thanks. I appreciate the suggestion.

Does anyone know where I can find a spindle nut socket/wrench for an MTVR? It takes a special socket/wrench to tighten the spindle nut appropriately. Please let me know if you know where I can find one. Thanks.

I've used Power Service, Howe's, and Seafoam...and probably others. But, those are the ones I use regularly.

They look like fiberglass to me.

I am sorry about his loss and I hope that you and his other family and friends find peace with his passing.

The troop seats are the same on the 2-1/2 ton and 5 ton drop sides trucks. The only difference (mentioned by G744) between the two would be the stubby racks that make up the front fixed portion of the cargo bed.

The 5 ton cargo trucks without drop sides used different troop seats. There is another member here looking for a set that I last time I spoke with him. Maybe he will chime in.

My M1165A1 is fairly dry inside. The only leaks comes from the seal between the driver's door and the cab (the driver's seat gets wet in a hard rain). I have NOS X doors on my truck. I believe the doors are adjusted properly and the rubber seals are fresh...and the driver's door still leaks...

The only way he can transfer title without first getting it in his name is if he is a motor vehicle dealer and has such a license. He would then have to provide you with the dealer reassignment form in addition to the SF-97. Most people are not licensed dealers, though.

Welcome, and thank you for your service. Nice looking truck.
