Sorry about that, fixed.

A 6X6 might be a must. A winch wont "really" help none but I don't know if I could get away with 6x4. I have gotten around in my 2WD pickup but it doesn't weight 15 tons.

That is my limiting factor! If I had the money that IS my dream truck!

Is it better off the highway when you have weight on the rear wheels? It would be nice for it to handle 1-4 inches of soupy mud with hard pack dirt/granite under it? I would have CAT 420E to save me but I would love to avoid that situation all together.

For taking paint off there is a off the self stripper at Wal-Mart that I found to be effective on tool box I have been restoring over the past year or so. Cant remember the name of it but saw it there the other day. I think it went for $10. Not the cheapest but it is effective. Watch out, it...

I know what you mean about driving beyond a trucks limits. I drove a International roll back and that got scary with anything over 45 MPH and International expected it to get up to 70!

That is one handsome truck! Do you have any specifications on top speed? I assume its 55 but 65 would be perfect! I also saw the M-916 is on the same branch of the family tree but it has AWD. Is it worth it to have that option or would it be more of a burden given that it is almost certainly...

From your pictures it looks like it is just held in with a clamp. If it is not to hard you might be able to just take it off and clean it out with fresh water (from the inside out) and maybe some dish soap. I have done that cleaning reusable oil less air filters and never had an issue. I assume...

Hello, my name is Parker and I am currently going to collage for diesel mechanics/CDL and when I get out I’m going to look into buying a class 8 semi. I know I should just get a retired Wal-Mart truck and cry my self to sleep but when I laid eyes on a Hemtt Wrecker at a fair, I fell in love. I...
