You ever see the size of some of the trucks here in Michigan? we have some that the tare wt is close to the 80,000 max of most other states! back to the original question. Load it rite, maintain the hauling equipment properly, drive it safely and have fun. oh and take lots of pics!

When you look at this TB end, you will see why the med and large ends do not interchange with each other very well. this one is the large bar to 1" .

Looks like your prepared. good luck with the recovery.

exactly! well put!

I will prob catch flack over this but i have hauled many loads on a gooseneck well over 25,000 with my F250 super duty. driven safely its not a big deal but everything needs to be rite! like brakes, tires and laod placement just to name a few.

prob could cut and weld but i dont think i would. the reason i got the big bar was so i could tow 2 5 tons at one time or a tractor trailer combo with out worry that the bar and ends may fail. Its really a safety thing with me. I know i do some things that make folks shake their heads...

Mmmmm. Air Brakes!! Looks a little wide tho.

Whats the length? if its 17' then the M820 chassis would be perfect. or just grab any ole 5 ton and strech it a little. pretty straight forward as its a standard frame.

Also i think mine is called an expansible.

Goldn, have you opened it up yet?

It seems they were used for a multitude of things. Our friend David told me that he worked out of many of these so im assuming one of the uses were a comand post. He talked about going from the lighted intierior to the dark outdoors and falling off the ladder! sounded like he did this more...

140 MILES !! wow! I guess i should fell lucky with my 5 mile trip to the local sawmill.
