Collected my new to me AM General M50 6x6 truck last Saturday, took a while between buying it and actually driving it back to the farm where our workshop is which BTW is also new to us (my brother and myself) we just moved into a 3000sqft shop
PO of the truck told me it had fuel but if I wanted to put some in there was room in the 50 gallon tank so I took 40 litres of new but unidentified engine oil, 20l litres of gas, 20 diesel and 20 cat 50w axle oil, guess that tested the "multifuel " capability, ran perfectly, 5 speed manual syncro with 2 speed transfer box shiftable on the move with a twin disc clutch, PTO too, gearbox layout took some getting used to as both 3rd and 4th are to the rear but at 7.8 the motor didn't care what gear it was in, 6 wheel drum brakes which stop the 5 ton truck dead.
I've got some repairs to do but just minor things.
It's basically a REO Whistler built under licence, produced from early 50s to 1990s ish
Really does need power steering though and taller tyres to increase the gearing a little
Going to build a camper
