If you drive it I would leave Atlanta and go west on I-20 to Birmingham and then go to Memphis and pick up I-40 back to OKC. That will keep you out of the mountains (Monteagle in Tennessee is a booger) and on flatter ground. Ron does a lot of recoveries out of Atlanta and can help you out. PM me...

There is a thread on here on turning up the 8.3...maybe one of the search gurus will post a link. If you are using it as a cargo truck you should not need to tweak it much. Doing the air cleaner mod and opening up the exhaust will help a lot. My big arsed M927A2 will run 70 on level ground flat...

What Andy said.

I don't think storing fuel there is a good idea just because of all the drooling morons driving around with their heads up their wazoos. Water and coolant might be OK.

I been to four buryins, several marryins, two rodeos and a goat ropin.......and I ain't never seen nothin like that.:shock: :shock:

Not too sure how you will be welcomed in California. They have some strange rules out there concerning older diesel trucks. Maybe some of the locals can chime in. I know there are some big hills out there from when I was a long haul trucker. The southern routes are easier on the deuce since they...

Cummins engines that have not been ran in a long time often do this. I had a buddy that bought two M915's that had been sitting up for years. They had the 400 Cummins in them. He got them home and both cranked and ran good. Two days later both of them had water in the oil. He explained the...

Now that truck is tougher than woodpecker lips. I'd love to hear that Driptroit scream hauling a tank.

The inline Detroits had had superchargers on their side and the V engines had them on top. They were two strokes for the most part. I've never see a blower on the side of a four stroke in line diesel but that's not to say it can't be done. It would prob require a lot of fab work and you might...

I assumed that you had done due diligence when agreeing to do the deal. I've met several people that have had bad experiences with production companies. Anytime I'm contacted the first thing I ask for is proof that they are an LLC and that they have liability insurance. Then we discuss terms...

Not to pick a fight but CA has some pretty idiotic emission laws. I would do a lot of research before I bought an older military diesel for what you are proposing. If it were any other state I'd also recommend the M915 with the 60 series Detroit as first choice and the 400 Cummins as Plan B...

Get it in writing. In God we trust, everybody else signs a contract.

This may be the only post I make on this thread. I have attended almost every GA Rally since they started (I may have missed one or two) and they have steadily gotten better. I the case of Food Service we went from washing dishes in a mud hole behind the MKT (when we were in the horse pasture)...

You don't have enough truck. A M915 with 38 foot flatbed would be the ticket.

In order to bob the truck you have to remove the complete walking beam suspension and use a set of front springs off a donor truck or fabricate a custom suspension. Air ride is good. Most people shorten the frame if they are bobbing a regular cargo truck. If you are bobbing a tractor the frame...

I still have my M275 up for sale. PM for details.

Sorry I missed the party. Got too many irons in the fire. At least I got t-shirts.

If you have a mini-blaster you can clean it with abrasives and replace the gasket.

Without sounding flip it is worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. Tankers are rare and gasser tankers are probably rarer. If it needs a lot of restoration work that is going to lower the value even more. Post some pics and you might get some guys to give you their opinion of what...

I have to disagree with you on that Kinder, Gentler Ron. I drove cargo and fuel HEMMT's in Korea and other that the 70+ top speed I find no redeeming qualities in the HEMMT. They ride like an oxcart, there is almost no room in the cab and there is a steep learning curve on steering and getting...
