Yesterday was a good day. I scored big on a yard sale of military truck parts. Then in the afternoon I got a lot of dirt moved working into darkness. It did start to rain on my parade towards the end of the day.

11echo your truck was smiling when it was dirty.
Good to see that your are using it for it's intended purpose.

Thanks for comps on my truck.
Let's see, so many ?'s to answer.
I read about some items for sale on this site, not in the classifieds. No time to think about it. Went the next day.
Not my neighborhood. I left at 0500 and returned home at 1300hrs from the yard sale,(380 miles round trip).
I went after 3 items and could not leave anything behind once I got there!
Got a good price for fuel cans, don't know the going rate. I think the seller felt sorry for me knowing what I had to show to the wife when I got home!
Greg, how can I take you to "your place"!
Cordell, I'll take you to Greg's!!
Jimm1009, I think it was smiling, I was!
Jeff, I wish my tipper looked as nice as yours!
I started moving dirt at 1400hrs.

11echo,
It appears the fronts are not offset dual wheels. It that standard for the dump or did you do it yourself? Do you find it useful to widen the track?

The front wheels/tires are spares for my "singled M35". They are tubeless and have the same Michelin 11R20 ZXL's that I mounted on the stock wheels. I do believe the truck handles better with them. I think I would like to try a wider tire on a pair to see if it helps keep the front from sinking in soft ground while not giving up traction. It has rained some since the Monday pics and while I almost got stuck today, I drove out with that last load. It will have to dry up, not likely, or I'll wait for the ground to freeze before going back in.

What state was that in!? That sure looks like one of Miltrucks barns. I know he had a newer looking tow bar for sale too, just not all those other goodies. There is ALOT of good stuff in that first pic!
