Natural, I don't have the time to coat them. Part of the reason I skipped the ship lap the deck should drain well.
This trailer is getting a tarp kit next year so they will have limited exposure, and white oak has a natural resistance.
Well I finally managed to get the deck on. This is dry fit, but it isn't going anywhere now I have to mark and drill the holes.
I skipped the ship lap bu the end boards are tenoned into the trailer.
Fun stuff!
Minot's been like that since 9/11, not full background checks but they check all visitor's in the system. As well as registration and insurance. Thankfully I have an ID, although they really wanted to search me at Malmstrom.
Sounds like the governor is out of adjustment as mentioned. Additionally and quite possibly your gauge may not be accurate. Also I believe the gauge reads the secondary tank, where as the governor runs off the supplied pressure from the wet tank. If you have a pressure protection or wet tank...
I've found that between the dump, gravel pit and scrap yard my truck weighs drastically different depending on where I am...
Unless they are certified I wouldn't trust their scales. All they care is the difference between loaded and unloaded and it wouldn't surprise me if the scale was off to...

I maintain a Class A and medical card, just as a last resort. If I ever need a job I can drive, plain and simple this country will always need drivers. Half the OTR truck drivers I see at truck stops are from other countries. I'll never be to good to drive a truck...

I'm thinking of skipping the ship-lap on mine (M871) looks like you didn't ship lap your's either. But did bevel the edge...
I too drooled over this project. If I had a shop I'd offer up space and some volunteer time to finish and return alas at present I don't.
Even if I had the funds to buy the project I don't think I'd feel right owning someone else's dream.
Looks great Matt!
Seems we have a consensus to paint green first, so I'm just going to agree. I like the full two coats and then the details, first coat being primer.
What paint are you using?
It's easier to use mirrors. The back window on every daycab I've run has only been clean for about 15m after dispatch, particularly in the winter. I don't even look out the back window of the M915.
I suggest adding after market convex mirrors, the little OEM ones aren't great. I'd much...
