Carpeting the back works

The laws vary by state and can even vary by city or county

The 900 series use wedge brakes. But the seabees trucks use s cam brakes but I would stay away from the Marmon Herrington front axle, the spindle nut socket will set you back 8 bills

Air brakes feel different in the pedal than fluid brakes. The air brake pedal does not push back and get hard like a fluid brake pedal. Air brakes take some getting used to for some people but they stop great. Since your truck already has air brakes I would keep it that way. It would be less work.

Today's a10 is nothing like the a10's that were designed as just tank busters. When they were built they had analog copies but now they have digital copies. The bird is simply a flying tank. If you want to discount the a10 then what about the b52? It is a dinosaur compared to the a10

Why not start with a chassis that already has air brakes such as a 900 series or a Seabees 6x6

It depends on the stereo and amp. Read the power requirements for each and see if the converter can handle it with some power to spare. You will also need to check the converter to make sure the power rating in continious and not surge.

How did they convert the newer dueces to dual circuit master cylinder? It seems like the dueces with the direct trans can do 50 mph and the ones with the overdrive trans can do 60 mph

Nice wiring diagram but that would put a lot of additional load on the first battery and cause the batteries to be unbalanced and either under charged or over charged. You are better off with a power converter, 24 to 12 volt, or to add a separate 12 volt alternator and battery. You could build...

Remember the brakes are designed to stop a loaded truck and we do not typically run our trucks loaded.

My light trailer, like the ones found at construction sites, has 4 1000 watt lights on it that are powered by a 6kw generator. The designers engineered this unit with a 67% load. There are many of these out there that have run this way for thousands of hours. I do not know what the magic number...

The air brakes for the trailer are not an issue because the truck is already set up for an air braked trailer, but I would add the trolley valve. The issue would be the suspension used for the bob and the brakes themselves. For the suspension you could us the springs and hangers off of a...

You need a 5 ton for it. An excuse to buy a bigger truck. How tall is it from the base to the top?

How tall is the door you are trying to clear?

When you take the cdl test it is divided into several parts. First is the cdl test, second is air brakes, third is combination vehicles for the class a, then there are the endorsements if you want them and finally you have to take the class c test again. It is not that hard I missed a total of 4...

It is a lot cheaper down here. It sounds like they quoted the price for the government subsidized program. Down here they will charge you per lesson and not just a fixed fee.
