They were never mounted in a truck. I have sold about forty since the photos were taken, they are plenty cheap enough. I do not blame you for trying though.
I do not like climbing in and out of those lifted trucks, but I sure enjoy the looks of them. Maybe the years of abuse on my 60 year old body are catching up with me.....
Rancher's Supply was picking up A3 deuces when I was in Rapid City. They used ramps to drive the front axle up into the bed of the truck in front of them. The one that went into the bed of the truck on the upper step of the drop deck looked way too high, but they hauled them out that way. Three...
Sure! We had a pile of about 200 in the yard. Finally, we decide to crush them and now..... somebody wants one! We have two or three around still. 300 dollars for a straight one.
Riley is all army, but we picked up a couple dozen USMC trucks there. I am not sure how the release of property works, but the depot would not be my choice for deciding who had the truck previously.
We get 150 for like new ones on 5 ton wheels. They need to be broken down and remounted for a deuce, but that is much cheaper than you can buy flaps and tubes for if you just buy tires.
I never checked, I very seldom run over 2200 and preferably not over 2000 rpm. No threat of a speeding ticket at those rpms. 43" is correct for a Goodyear with like new tread.
One of our customers towed a pair about 250 miles behind his deuce. He said the deuce made better fuel mileage than his M915 or his five tons and had no trouble towing them. I saw a S-10 pickup pulling one at Interstate speeds on I70. That I would not recommend, but he got it done. I have moved...
I think you will find that they are too tall to run on the rear tandems, there is not enough distance between the rear axles for tires that tall and they will rub each other. If your truck has been bobbed or converted to 4x4 instead of 6x6, you could use them. They are also too wide for the...
Every 6x6 rolling down the Interstate reminds me of him. I try to stay clear of the Interstate since we lost him and encourage others to find alternate routes as well. Be safe my friends!
I think part of that 12 seconds is the electric oil pressure gauge. I adapted one over to a manual gauge when I was short the electric gauge and it was much quicker to show oil pressure. The 809 series trucks had manual gauges in the Cummins and they can easily be adapted to the Multifuel.
My uncle served in the mid 1960s to early 1970s, when he first learned I had a multifuel, his advice was not to run the engine over 2200 unless it was absolutely necessary. He said they learned quickly that they would unload a rod if run hard very long. I told him I was aware of the slotted...
I will be here all weekend, Saturday is supposed to gust over 30 from the south and the trailer is tall on a narrow wheelbase with small tires. I would hate to have it lay over in the Flint Hills.
