MY EYES, MY EYES!!!!!!!! Oh the humanity!!!! I been to three buryins, two marryins, several rodeos and a goat roping........but I ain't seen nothin' like that. :cookoo:

Limpy, Do a search on govliquidation.com for "trucks". There are a lot coming up in the next few weeks and next month. I got a good deal last month on my duece but I am still waiting on the End User Certificate to be approved. If you want instant gratification you might check out the want ads...

Kenny........that's funny....I don't care who you are. rofl "If you had a duece and a half at your wedding with 55 gallon drums dragging behind it....you might be a redneck". :driver: :jumpin: If the tarp, bows and end curtains were on it it could even be used for the honeymoon. :wink...

i did not make the tire mans day when i drove the 819 in and told him that i had arranged with the tire shop to have the tires switched over today

The parifin (wax) was not my original idea but it worked when I was getting the dolly wheel on my 105 trailer unfrozen. Try the following steps: (1) Try evry other method known to man. :evil: (2) Expend your entire stock of profanity several times over. aua (3) Heat offending object and...

Can you get a good deal if you buy them all? They would make great trade goods for meets. Too bad they are so far away.

Can we get an accurate count and approximate weight? If someone could make a deal with the guy for all of them it should be possible to find a commercial rig to move it east as part of a backhaul. If said someone got all of them the driver might make several stops on the way back and drop...

Redass, The Chemical Shelter Trailers are 105's. I just finished scrapping the one I have and may go get another one this week and scrap it too. That means I will have 2 rollling frames. I can also get a fifth wheel from the junkyard that has the trailers. I can get extra rims/tires if needed...

They might be rims off of a lowboy trailer. That seems like a lot of offset for regular drive axle rims. They look very familiar but I just can't place them.

That is one of the old "coffin" type sleepers normally used on road tractors of the day. Capacity one wide and two deep (ask my ex-wife) :shock:. There is every reason to suspect my oldest son was concieved in the sleeper of a Freightliner in West Memphis Ark during a blizzard. :wink: There is...

My son is getting ready to go back on convoy escort duty over there. I hope that there is an especially hot place in hades for the cowardly SOB's that set off IED's against our vehicles and innocent Iraqis. This war needs to come to and end....soon.

Cool, The camo 5 ton Bulldog Mack wrecker is still there. Price was 7k last time I asked. "Old Yeller" seems to have vanished. Hopefully gone to a good home that will restore him.

Many years ago I was a driver for our unit mess hall. We used to carry hot coffee, soup and boiling water to heat C ration cans (I told you it was may years ago) in Mermites. What is the temp of boiling water? The interior of Mermites is aluminum and I think they are stamped. I don't think...

I have thought about getting one of those dollys to part out. The air bags interest me since I have thought about an air ride duece or 5 ton. :idea: Seems like there should some way to make that happen. Never underestimate the power of a redneck with a cutting torch and welder. :lol: Any...

The M915's were the line haul tractors of that time. They had three axles, a 400 Cummings, a CAT semi-automatic transmission and no front wheel drive. The two rear axles were just like a commercial rig with a power divider. The early ones were made by AMC. I had the dubious honor of driving one...

The nut behind my steering wheel is 5'8" and weighs 180 pounds. rofl

I have been on several WVO forums and most problems occur when the oil is not heated enough or sent through the IP with no heat. This can cause "coking" which results in the buildup of a lot of carbon in the heads and around the valves. This is the most common reason for engine failure according...

That is what my son is driving in Iraq. I put him on the plane this morning to go back after his R&R leave. :cry:

Well...naturally!!!! I pay 1700 bucks and think I got a deal and here are a butt load of dueces in Kansas some selling for less than a grand. aua aua Of course I would have to get one back form Kansas and that would probably have evened it out with shipping. :lol: But the 5 ton cargos went...

I would check into putting higher geared rears in it, drop that tanker bed like a bad habit and put a HEMMT style dropside bed on it. Or maybe take two dropside duece beds and custom build a bed. Since it has a PTO on it you could even make a dump bed. Dual stacks behind the cab would be ultra...
