:tigger: I ordered them yesterday and am waiting for them to send me the proof. As soon as they do and I OK it I'll post pics for all to see. There will only be tan and black this year, no long sleeve gray unless I get enough orders to have them added. There will also be no 3x or larger unless...

:tigger: Or, as my lawyer says, "where there's a will there's a relative".

:tigger: I think I have one of the aluminum ones. If I can find it I'll throw it on the truck for a loaner or to sell if someone wants to buy it.

:tigger: So......we'll see you at the GA Rally in Oct? It's the premier place to be if you are an MV person.

:tigger: In my humble opinion the A3 was designed by a crew of morons after discussing it with a group of idiots. They took a basically bullet proof truck that could be worked on out in the woods with basic hand tools by an inexperienced driver and turned it into a "frankentruck". It can't be...

:tigger: I'm old enough to have driven them in active service while I was in Germany (mid 70's). Later I drove them when I was in the Tennessee National Guard (early 80's). We convoyed in them from Crossville, TN to Fort Stewart and back for Annual Training one year. They are peppy little...

:tigger: If you can stand the price the M915A3 (has the Freightliner cab) is far above the old style cab that required standing on your head to work on anything in the engine compartment. The noise level is lower and the comfort level is higher. If you need front wheel drive capability then go...

:tigger: Do you mean a wrecker with a 5th wheel mounted where the rear winch is on a M816 which is a M819 or do you mean a 5th wheel wrecker attachment that goes on the 5th wheel of a regular tractor (Holmes Kit)?

:tigger: I've always had the itch for one but I never had the scratch.:drool:

:tigger: Consider it done. I'm sure it's out on the net somewhere. Dave....bummer man.....I've went through the same thing when my company was bought out back when I hauled HAZ-MAT. Each succeeding company paid less and had lousier benefits. Sad to say it's the face of corporate America today.

:tigger: Having been a member of the M816 Wrecker club (otherwise known as my biggest green iron money pit) I can tell you that these trucks have challenges. Operation of the crane or rear winch involves a lot of switching valves and engaging PTO's. They have a couple of mechanical gearboxes...

:tigger: You keep messing around and you're going to end up mass producing those things.

:tigger: My suggestion would find some air ride seats that the upholstery is FUBAR on but have good bases. You should be able to find them at a Class 8 truck scrap yard.

:tigger: Remember the volunteer motto at the SSGR......."The beatings will continue until morale improves".:deadhorse:

:tigger: I have one complete set off the last 5 ton dropside bed I sold and I have one set that goes with the bed I just pulled off the M923A2 (tractor conversion). The bed is for sale so unless the buyer don't want them they go with it.

:tigger: PM sent.

:tigger: Please do that in private.....it is not something I want seared into my retinas.:shock::shock::shock:

The last meal the MKT serves is breakfast Sunday morning. If there is leftover stuff we make to go "doggie bags" and give them out. We then have a "hey you" to get everything packed and to get as much stuff washed as possible. I know Mike must bust his butt when he gets home having to do a...

:tigger: You can't gold plate a turd (well you can but then you just have an expensive POS). By the time all the lawyers and federal agencies have been gratified most stuff made today is overpriced and worthless. Like my old rat biker buddy used to say "chrome won't get you home".

:tigger: I think Soni should make a pilgrimage to the 2014 GA Rally and bring his toys with him.:idea:
