Going with m38inMaine. Nice rig. :)

Thanks guys, anyone have a parts source for the axles?

Found this old critter, but its not a typical GMC 5500. It has Deuce rims, air over hydraulic breaks, Rockwell axles. and many other interesting "upgrades?....." Couldn't find a data plate but it appears to be an auger/drill truck possibly for setting poles. The derek and drill have been...

Yeah...... things are getting a bit rough up here, and a new F-22 Raptor is just not in the budget.

Might be a little soon. Have to get the troops rounded up...... we move a little slow on this site. Any others? I'll have to pm some people this weekend to get their attention. ...

A few people have shown interest in another get together. I have traditionally had one on Father's day weekend in the past. Probably a different weekend will be better to allow time for planning and such. I am now in Dexter and will play host. I'm open for suggestions on a good weekend...

Good luck on the bidding. There are a ton of laws that conflict each other. A pain for sure. Let us know how it works out. :)

Hey there. I remember you. No rally that I'm aware of. I may have a get-together of some sort.

A deuce will pull a nine ton trailer, however it is under powered. Plenty of low gears to work with but slower than death on a hill. Most military trucks were designed to haul loads in the bed instead of on a trailer, as trailers off road don't work well. Should handle short hauls ok if your...

Welcome, there are a few of us on here. Some more active than others, but a good groop.

Not sure of any currently. But they turn up from time to time

I'm working on a shelter as well. Im incorporating a 40' pneumatic mast and pumps from an old TV remote truck and 2 25' Hurry Up masts to support antennas. Have most of the parts, just need money and time for final assembly.

Cool. Glad everything worked well for you. You did some nice work on your truck. Mine is due for a make-over. Might go to drab, but I find I kind of like the 3 color camo to..... I fired it up today. Woke from its slumber with only a minor problem. Needs a new starter switch, Still the most...

We are considering a spot in Penobscot as well as Dexter. Both have advantages and disadvantages. It will likely be optional Friday night for those early starters, through Sunday afternoon. Going to move it from Fathers Day weekend as several people have had stuff going on. But it will be around...

Its that time again..... Time to plan the 5th Maine rally. We used Maine Military last year with mixed results. Tried it do the usual overnight, only had one taker, then I was a bit under the weather and abandon ship. (Sorry Katahdin) still feel bad as he made the longest trip. Fine tuneing...
