I'm not a fan of bobbed trucks, however this vehicle exhibits some amazing fab work and attention to detail. At first glance it looks like a big Tonka Truck. Reuse of the original bed adds to the detail. Nice work.

Nice work bro. How did the needler work? There was probably some "Ft. Knox" mud still up in some areas.

Keep the depth at the level of the sides, still a lot of water to cool off in. To drain, you'll have to put a hole in the liner/tarp. DO NOT drop the gate or sides, someone will be hurt.

Keep the depth to the height of the drop sides. The side racking will not hold 4' of water.

The rear wheels need to slip/spin (loss traction) before the sprag engages. Have you tried to get the rear to slip? See 98G's post in the 5 ton forum from yesterday, he tested his in some soft soil/grass. I tested mine by chaining the truck to a very big tree and got the rears spinning and yep...

Weenie, you're not homeless, you have a 934... that's a "Mobil home". If you make it to KY, you can stealth camp on the back 40... Stay safe brother.

Welcome from KY. Lot of nice trucks still out there.

Subsribed, nice fab work. Great repower project.

Nice addition to the fleet. Lots of potential.

Thanks, I've been searching for replacements too. I'll do a little surfing...

New truck? New owner? Time to source the operator's manual. Lots of good info to help understand the operations to keep you safe and on the road. Steer tires for 11.00x20 is 90 psi. The rears can be run at 60 psi if not loaded. 60psi takes the bounce out of the rear on the highway.

Start greasing.... any quality grease will work. Don't over think it.

Where did you source the placards? Looks clean.

Pete, Same type of reduced capabilities. If you lose air, you better have a strong leg.

To minimize your smoke trail, find a good used turbo and a NOS retrofit kit. They are available. Every part to install the turbo system including a new engine data plate, comes with it. Worth the cost.

Welcome from just north of you. My in laws are in Franklin, KY.

Yes, stuck rings are the biggest concern. Is it road worthy? Put some weight in it and take it for a long drive. Work the engine, it may free it up and clear up. These multi fuels are pretty robust engines.

Yep, wet stacking. Truck has sat for a long time and probably started up and let idle many times. It may be to far gone to just run it out. Try it and report back.

Another big welcome from Kentucky. Thank you for your service. Lots of vehicles out there.

Congrats on getting your new truck, teach your wife to drive it so she can experience the "big smile".
