Wow, bobbing BY Appels

Not trying to steal the thread, but I though this would be 5 Ton Bob related.



Would the M200A2 springs, it's a 2.5 ton trailer, be comparable to the 5 ton fronts,
just like the 105a2 springs, 1.5 ton trailer, being comparable to the 2.5 ton's fronts?

There are probably more 200a2 trailers around than derelict 5 ton fronts.

Beautiful truck. And I like the one you have on ebay.

 

[Floridianson]

Looks real good. Looks like almost perfect axle placement.

 

[cessnatwin]

John is one of the Pa/VA/Md guys who does good work, helps in a time of need and stands behind his work. And as we all have witnessed, his does very good work. My sons and I consider him and his sons more than fellow members , they are our friends. Just think, without this supposedly evil thing called the internet, all of us would have never crossed paths. Technology can be a good thing when used by honest people.

Thanks Dudley,you and your boys are good people also,I hope you dont hold it against me for getting you into this hobby,I think I help create a monster by selling you guys those first 2 trucks..

 

[atankersdad]

John, I will never hold it against you. in fact i am sending you the bill for the 9 deuces, M818, M62, 2 M103, 5 m105, 6 Mep 003 and a garage full of parts that showed up after u hooked us on this hobby. My boys and i love this and we have sure met a lot of good people. Even met a rascal to some on here but did me no wrong. Thanks John for getting us into this and the bill will be there in the morning...

Man that looks nice!!!!

I'm so anxious.....finally going to pick up my M818 in a couple weeks.

Since I have never seen one up close, can anyone tell me if it's possible to route the exhaust under the cab and split it into dual stacks in that gap between the cab and box?

 

[Marlboro]

Your work is great! maybe ill see it at the Buck! Hopefully i'll drive my deuce there at least once this year
