The MB tub can be placed on a early CJ5 frame. The frame in the back has to be clipped or it stick out past the body. You have to change the air cleaner to clear the hood. The rear wheel wells can be trimmed to hide the extra inch or the axle perches and ubolt plates can be redrilled to shorten...

Your information is based on highway use and is not relevant to this application. This application is for what the vehicle can carry on a farm. The real limiting factor here will be the design capacity of the drive train, suspension, tires and the frame. These trucks do not have a extreme...

Google "Water truck at burning man" and look at the photos to get some ideas

You are quoting the bridge law for the 12k and 34k for a tractor trailer. This changes based on axle spacing. With a permit you can exceed this. When I was driving we used to scale at 60k for a three axle. I have a friends that legally weigh 70k on a properly specified straight dump truck. The...

This is common for water truck used on construction sites around here in Southern California. Very slow speed with the right driver and it will be ok. If the driver has a lead foot or is rough on the truck it will not survive long.

The problem is the OP does not understand all of the functions of the air brake system. The idea behind this valve, and sub system being added to the air brakes, that is not typically found on commercial trucks is to give the driver a way to hopefully get out of the kill box and to relative...

There has been a long standing debate since roller bearings were invented on weather they should be oiled or greased. Each has advantages for specific applications. All civilian light vehicle front wheel bearings and a lot of rear wheel bearings are greased. Look at different medium and...

There is more than just the TM. Read my previous post

Are you talking a hole or a drainage ditch?

It is also covered in the CDL manual. This is common on buses so you can get the bus off the road for safety. There is enough air in this system for a couple of applications of the brakes.

I have used these trailers to haul a lot. It is not uncommon for me to scale right at 3/4 ton, yet I have yet to have my brakes lock up, or even drag, when backing up. My suggestion is to use a light foot. Are you backing over a curb when this occurs? Are your brakes, including the hand...

I have never had to lock out the brakes when in reverse, unless backing up a hill, if the shock is good and you take it easy.

Kind of like how tom hanks in forest gump describes a box of chocolates

Sounds like a lot of work. To make the body fit in the trailer you are going to have to remove the front overhang and lengthen the trailer frame and of tongue. The litters sit on top of the wheel wells. For lights I would go with modern LED's

Or worse problems!

If any one is interested I know where there is one of the M37 sized ones on a trailer and it is probably available. Pm me if you are interested.

I have never had a problem with my combo mount. Yours appears to have a lot of extra room and I have never seen one like it before.

You have fax in the request

The MT643 is a much better trans than the AT540 due to the torque converter lockup. The truth is the op wants to put the Allison behind a gasser in an old fire truck. The real problem you might have is the length of the trans is about 30". Depending on how your pump is set up that might be an...
