PM Digger and find out how he is going, forums have a habit of falling by the wayside when you're knee deep in MV related restorations

Re: newbie with a M152cdn
Im an 99% sure I now have this 152. Im in Jersey and the guy I got it from was also in Jersey. The motor was locked up bad and I am fairly sure thats why the guy sold it. Its not all that complete. No radio stuff in it, missing head light switch and few other things. Has some gnarly rot issues around all the windows. Radiator has a huge hole in it. When I got it the head was off and there was oil in the cyl from soaking it. The middle 2 cyl were rusted in place. Took me and my brother in law about 4 hours and every trick in the book to get it free. It was a battle! But the motor is free and the head is back on. Gonna try to fire it this weekend. Damn hurricane derailed the project a bit

Re: newbie with a M152cdn
Yep, Diggers 152 is now mine. Dont have any good pics of it as its not stored near me. Honestly the game plan is to get it running and moving around on its own pwer and then trade or sell it. Im not a radio guy as ambulances are more my thing. This deserves the tlc of someone who wants to put it back to stock config. Its a pretty cool truck so i hope i can find it a good home!
