Sounds like an ambitious project in the least. I hope it goes well for you, would be nice to see one of those towering boxes again!

A ratty old 105 with a rough bed cover went to the crusher yesterday while I was tied up in the office, running the desk.....along with about 20 really nice 105 bed covers and a 900 series hardtop I had stored inside. This is pretty frustrating for me. :-? I sure waste a lot of what little free...

You are in the 2400 rpm range at 70 mph. 80 will kick you up to 2700 rpm, way below the governed rpm. Unfortunately, unlike a lot of diesels, the 6.2 will not survive if run for extended periods at the governed rpm. You may get away with it trouble free for a long time, you may pay the price the...

I had a bunch of 116 trailers sorted out to pull tires and wheels....too slow. They were fed to the crusher today. I think an ocean of nice 105 trailers will die tomorrow, along with about 40 five and 7.5 ton flatbeds. All of the semi vans were crushed today... so were the remaining exspansible...

Pulling the good ones now, not many good tires in that batch. They had been on the tarmac for too many years.

Those goodies are well protected....

The crusher is sitting at the center gate now. The aluminum trailer boxes went bye bye today. I suspect about 150 M116 trailers will bite the dust before noon and by five all the semi trailer frames and probably all of the 105s that are sitting without wheels will be history. I want to keep it...

I have seen a few military operators come through our company and absolutely destroy trucks and equipment.... with a good its not my problem attitude. I love our country and the men and women who fight to keep it free....but my repair budget cannot hang with Uncle Sam. Being military certified...

The problem with renting or loaning out an odd vehicle like a deuce is that they are 40ish years old and have their own quirks. It is easy to make a costly mistake for the owner. Most people have no clue of their ability and their many weaknesses. If you want to rent one with an operator....

I have a couple that are not shifting into low when the air pressure is up, obviously they are probably routed incorrectly, does anybody have a schematic showing the proper routing of the air lines? Thanks, Glen

I have been wondering how that truck was getting along, I would not recognize it now... Nice work, want to do an A2??? Glen

My 72 that I foolishly sold aua would get around 12 regularly at 2000/42 mph. My 68 runs about ten at 2000 and actually acts like it is done pulling at 1800. The 71 was also running about 10 at 2000 and acts like it is just starting to run good. I am sure it is in fuel and timing settings. My 68...

I think most guys are looking for 3.50 a loaded mile now, with the fuel price down a little, maybe you can find somebody to do it for 3.25. We charge our own company 3.50. Glen

That is a fine looking tipper!

It is really hard to get them all back in the locker for inspection day when they are issued to units all over the county. I am out of LE now, but it usually took a few days to get all of ours rounded up. Glen

You are in the wrong ballgame. These were primarily designed to deliver a heavy load off road. If 55 plus is a primary concern, you will be much happier with a civilian truck, especially if your need for speed has a budget. The 923 is close, but dangerous at speed and the nifty 250 is not really...

The year was 1976, the vehicle was a nice 1958 Chevy 4x4 Napco Conversion. The speed was someplace around 80, the "O.S" factor was very high. The damage was to the hood, windshield, and roof. The truck had a roof mounted spotlight that withstood the impact, but really exaggerated the damage. I...

What kind of 14 R 20 would you like?

We had about 20 of those. We bought them as 923s, some had 925 data plates, some had been changed to 923 plates. A couple had no signs of winch frame extensions ever being bolted in. Most have the dual shift levers, PTO and winch.
