(For the record I have met the Hammond Barn crew socially, but have been careful to not visit. My wife would surely notice the difference in my behaviour right away.)

Good find BTW, and the future thanks you for respecting the past.

I've heard of the place and want to visit but it will take a lot to make me a CMP restorer , I like the big trucks, the bigger the better. Our next purchase will be a wrecker M816. We have rebuilt Iltis jeeps, an M37 and an M43, and we have redone 1 MLVW MRT, 1 x M35, 1 x M109 and we have 2 more MLVWs waiting TLC so we have our hands full.
As stated before the CMP is for sale $700 obo, we will cover our costs and we will save another truck.

Hi Gilles

Wow the mods on that one are facinating.....

Coil springs rear suspension....

Rims look like HUP 6 bolt small 16 inch rims welded to larger 20 inch rims....

Running board a typical cab 13..... back of cab is fabricated.... leaning on HUP body being cut....

Rear frame has curve over rear axle like a HUP

Engine side cover is in cab possibly indicating a 216 is still on board albeit seized....

Inner winshield frames have been replaced....door hinges are fabrications...no wipers.....

One rear rims looks commercial..... would be nice to see if it was a "natural" fit for future reference....

Finally Gilles included my favorite icons next to his statement about visitng the barn...... beer!!!!

Gilles will call to plan a visit....both ways.

Gilles..
When you get to the barn,you must meet Lucifer....
HEAT...!!
That old wood furnace can melt snow off the roof of Bobs house...500 meters away..when it gets stoked up..!!
It is a chore to keep the beer cold when Lucifer is fired up..but they manage somehow..
You'll enjoy your visit..both ways..
