Sweet! Count me in!

Always seemed to be raining or snowing when we left the hard road and stopped to chain up in Germany. We were frozen by the time we were finished but hey, at least I had an unheated canvas-topped deuce cab to get back into. Don't miss chains at all.

The Eastern Panhandle welcomes you. Enjoy!

Modern batteries can be stored on concrete. It was older batteries with asphalt based cases that would drain if placed on concrete.

Here in WV the DOT runs random fuel checks to catch guys running off-road diesel. ATF is red and might tint the fuel to look like off-road. Big fines here for that. I know a guy running ps fluid in all his trucks and equipment with no problems. 1 qt to 100 gallons is his mix.

I don't know how easy it is to remove the steering wheel but here's how I get the quick-release wheel straight on my race car. It's very simple. On even ground just back up 10-20 feet and the wheel will self center. Just rotate wheel on spline to get it where you want.

My first GL pickup at Richmond went smooth as silk. Dennis had my 2 M105 trailers loaded onto my flatbed trailer in 15 minutes after arriving. I brought jacks, blocks, winches, etc. expecting to load them myself so when he rolled in with the forklift it was a very pleasant surprise. Total...

The number listed for Richmond on the auction site is 602-820-7883. This is the number I've been trying to call but haven't had any luck.

My EUC was approved in less than 2 weeks after it was sent to Battle Creek. I thought I was going to breeze through my first GL pickup. Now that I have my invoice I can't get through to GL to schedule a pickup time at Richmond. I've left a voice message and also left my call back number. They...

I don't know if this helps but I had a 77 Freightliner cabover with air assist steering. Ross was the manufacturer. I don't know know if they are still around but a search might get you some useful information.

All it needs is a data plate. :-D Looks like it belongs there.

Might try bleeding the system.
