Check out some of the threads here. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/search.php?searchid=55730 I used my stock bed and cut out 36", shortened the frame 36" and moved the front rear axle back 11" which meant lengthening the driveshaft 11". There are at least 3 detailed threads in the link that show...

Looks good. It gets old seeing people complain about the police having an armored vehicle every time Wgtactical shows one of his vehicles that he builds for a law enforcement agency. I think they are a useful tool when bullet resistant vests and 9mm Berrettas are not enough to stop some bank...

Another way is to pack the pilot bushing hole full of grease then find a bolt that just fits the diameter of the bushing, stick it in and hit it with a hammer and the bushing will pop right out. Cheap and easy, just make sure you put a rag around the bushing in case grease squirts out when you...

Did you ever but this weasel? I'm kinda on the hunt for one now.

I guess thats what happens when one guy that doesnt know anything about MV's tells another guy who doesnt know anything about them who told me. It looks long and wide., I would guess a bridge truck too. Havent called him back yet for a price as I am not interested in it.

Sorry for the let down fellas.

A little update. I spoke to the guy that owns it and he said its a 54 International military truck with 3 axles but couldnt give me any other info. He is going to send me some pictures but it doesnt sound like its as good of a find as I was hoping. I do know it was registered as historical in...

Thanks for the info. It is second hand from my co worker and I will be contacting the owner tomorrow to see about looking at it and will provide pics and details when I get them, hopefully I can go look at it tomorrow.

I had a co worker call me today and tell me about an armored vehicle that is 6 wheel drive, has a chrysler engine in it and looks like the armored vehicle from the movie "The dirty dozen" only its bigger, thats the only info I have. Anybody have any idea of what might fit that profile? I wanted...

Sounds like an adjustment should take care of it. I had a 404 that I had to replace the clutch in because it was out of adjustment and the throw out bearing fork pushed in too far and came in contact with the spinning pressure plate fingers destroying the pressure plate. If I remember correctly...

I like the sound of Johnson Valley or the Mojave road for my own selfish reasons of it being much closer than the other areas.

I dont think the 101 bed looks quite right, kinda like a big buffed out dude with skinny little legs. (not that I look at big buffed out dude's, I'm just sayin)

For the air assist, I would keep the $1800 in my pocket and consider it a free workout when you have to do alot of turning. You could probably buy a complete truck with air assist for that price. t is nice but not worth $1800. I would pay maybe $500 to add it to the truck but thats about it. Its...

My truck has been bobbed and does not have blocks and the rear axle does wrap a little bit, kind of gives it a spongy/springy feel when first letting out the clutch. I watched a rear axle on a another bobbed duece that had around 6" blocks with 14-20 tires and there was a decent amount of...

There is no simple way if you dont have access to a fork lift, plasma cutter or torch set up but it can be done with lots of 4" cut off wheels on a grinder, a few drill bits, 2 big jack stands and a cherry picker! Go through and read the posts on "bobbing" as quite a few of us have documented...

The movie guys I know use regular water based house paint from Home Depot or Lowes thinned out with water to paint the vinyl and it works great. That is a smoking deal for those tops.

Winch truck with a cut down stock bed (9'), dual rear wheels and some tools, snatch block and medium towbar mine weighed in at 10,600 LBS. A non winch truck with a 105 bed should be alot less.

I think its just easier to live life by the rules and either get a class B license or "bob" a duece and not have to worry about it instead of trying to find every little loophole in hopes a judge would side with you should you ever get stopped, cited, truck impounded etc. But I guess thats how...

Another thing to consider is that there is an impound authority for driving out of class. So if your street lawer argument about not needing a class B license doesnt go over well with the officer or it pisses him off, you can probably count on your truck being impounded and you having to find a...
