one of our dealer buddys stopped in for some parts today and in passing conversation said he had a old miliatry truck with a dead motor, and the boss piped up winfreds looking for something different in a truck, on the way home i checked it out and it's bitchen, 7/67 m715 kaiser jeep not a speck of rust and it doesn't look wrecked $1800, i won't pass this up, it's not just a truck it's a bad ass 5/4 ton 4wd truck. it looks like a x forestry service truck

that the civilians that need them already sourced them from somewhere else, and do not need to rely on a military surplus jobber to get em....huntin' carcuses maybe? i don't think i'd like to meet the average joe that needs one of these around "just in case". if there's a hurricane that snuffs my mortal spirit out, i'd like to have gawkers post my pics on rotten.com. just kidding.

Most times, at death scenes, the body(s) are removed by the Medical Examiner's Office people, but occasionally they contract out to private companies, whom we affectionately call "The Ghouls". They both use new stuff, but we have a warehouse that has some Military surplus stuff that we get as leftovers. There's all sorts of stuff, coveralls, gas masks, blankets, boots, gloves.....all sorts of crap. You just never know when an airliner will nose-dive into the Everglades again....or whatever. When I was on the Value-Jet crash recovery, it was nice to be able to go to the office first in jeans and a t-shirt, change into a clean pair of coveralls and boots, go to the swamp for 6 hours, go back to the office and shower and get back into comphy clothes and go home and sleep. I did that for five weeks straight.

The fun never ends!

that had to suck on so many different levels, mom and i had to clean up a trailer after a death (it had been a while too) for those who deal with DBO on a semi daily basis, i feel for you, i don't know what's worse the ****ing flys or the fact that you can taste the smell

go to the swamp for 6 hours, go back to the office and shower and get back into comphy clothes and go home and sleep. I did that for five weeks straight.

No matter what, that beat out what the FJ's had in them from the factory!

Big Cummins 6's are cool...I like NTC-350 that Jesse James pulled from a Freight and turned into a Monster Trike!

Winfred, keep us posted on the 5.9!

Cheers,
