<< Our MVPA chapter is considering buying an M55 from a local salvage yard
 to use as our clubvehicle. It has a few things missing but is in really
 good shape. My questions are as follows:
 How much would a distributor and plug wire set cost?
PASS
 How much would a carburetor cost?
THEY ARE ON EBAY REGULARLY IN THE HUNDRED DOLLAR RANGE...EVEN WITH A NEW ONE
EXPECT 3 MPG.
 How many canvas sets are used for the bed, this has almost double thebed
 length as my M35?
TWO ENDS, ONE COVER
 What are the specs for the motor (HP, torque, displacement, etc.)?
602 CID, DON'T HAVE TABLE IN FRONT OF ME, HP FAIRLY LOW (COUPLE HUNDRED), BUT
TORQUE IS FORMIDABLE
 What would a PTO cost for one or at least a cover plate?
PASS
 Would it be possible to flat tow one about 20 miles with an M35?
THE ARE AIR LINE CONNECTIONS ON THE FRONT FENDERS, HOOK UP AIR, AND USE A
MILITARY TOWBAR, AND DO IT THE MILITARY WAY (DRIVER IN TOWED VEHICLE AS WELL)
 What is the vehicle weight (no cargo with fuel and fluids)?
20,000 LBS
 And finally how hard is it to get parts for them?
IT IS NOT
