The front shackle frame is civilian. The engine had the civilian ignition in. The battery mount on the frame is also civilian as all m38a1's had both batteries in the cowl. The m38a1 had the shackle reversal and the machine gun pedestal base mount. All jeep CJ or M38 frames had the hitch...

The long tongue makes that easy. This trailer is real easy with the built in turntable lock. I did see a trailer that has an air activated turntable lock. I keep a couple of extra chains and binders in case I am just having a real bad day. A forklift, or loader, does make it real easy...

They are easy to back up if you know a few tricks

The abs is just a band aide for the piece of junk wedge brakes. You would be better off just converting to s cam brakes. You will end up spending the money if you ever have to do a brake job on the wedge brakes.

You may want to call it legal but since your flatbed is bolted to the frame the trucks becomes primarily a flatbed that can tow a small trailer as a secondary application so it needs to be registered as a three axle flatbed. In the pictures your flatbed looks like it is to low to allow full...

The information I was given was that the bed had to be connected using the semi fifth wheel. Mid the top of their head the dot guys named a half dozen or so trucks owned by the big rock and sand companies that use the fifth wheel to attach a removable dump bed. The added weight of the fifth...

federal requirement to have registration reflect the correct type of vehicle, flatbed, tractor, etc Look up the European swap body concepts. This is a method to use one power pack to move several body modules.

You need to look at the spec for the particular wire. Read the manufacturers tables. The capacity varies depending on the insulation type and number of conductors.

Maybe this is the problem. According to this the Ohio BMV has put a moratorium on issuing abandoned vehicle titles. http://www.autolawohio.com/bmv-not-processing-applications-for-abandoned-vehicle-titles/ Since this appears to be an Ohio law firm that deals with this you should consult them...

The problem with your design is each time you remove the bed and put the fifth wheel back on, or the reverse you have to do a vin verification and have the title and registration changed. By bolting the bed down you have permanently modified the truck. The bed on every truck would be...

Is the Ohio DMV refusing to title the vehicles with the form 97 and reassignment? What is "Cali"? What base did they come out of?

You can not run both without a plumbing jungle. The air to air can handle a larger volume of air and can cook it to close to ambient temperature. The other style uses the coolant to cool the air and can only cool it to engine temperature.

Reading the OP it sounds like the Ohio DMV will not register them without a California registration, so how is the issue caused by California? Reading between the lines I would suspect that there is some other issue with the paperwork, the pawn or business that is really causing the problem...

First thing I would do is contact a professional registration service in Ohio to see what your options are. Since it was pawned what is the legal process to acquire the title in Ohio for an abandoned vehicle. California requires the VIN to be verified by the CHP, a private vin verifier or any...

If you read the whole table that is the minimum based on federal title 49. The states can and do have additional requirements. The other problem is I did not see a date on the chart. I can having the intermediate marker light on 2 axle dump trucks in the early 80's, the trucks were from the...

What is you citation on that? If the rule exists it is not what is being done or enforced in Southern California.

What about the amber lights at the front and forward side on the bed?

Talked to the dot guys and your design requires reclassification because the fifth wheel is removed and the bed is bolted. To be exempt from reclassification the fifth wheel needs to stay on the truck and the bed needs to be attached with the king pin and at least two other pins, no bolts...

I think they were. I got them from McMasterCarr

I carry spare glad hands, seals and street elbows just for that reason.
