Ken and I are looking to do just that with our spare bed and spare 105 chassis (he has two) and make a dual axle dually for the bed to ride on. Lower CG and stable towing characteristics are what we're aiming for.

Matt, Be prepared to spend $ome big ca$h for the bigger generator. I wanted to upgrade to at least 100 amps but could only afford the 80 amp upgrade. For my five ton I'm going a 200 amp upgrade with all the demands I'll be putting on it.

I do have a mild case. Check the post time. I may have been tired and scrambled the keys. Yep, 1989 was the last year of manufacture.

Gary, 6-72 is the gear ratio in the diffs. Mine are the same and my truck is a '67.

That's what I suspect as well but had to ask.

M105s are 1 & 1/2 ton trailers. Don't confuse them with the similar looking 3/4 ton Humvee trailers. The 105s are much beefier.

Bjorn, Would that have an impact on fuel consumtion then? That is running a bit cooler would increase or decrease your fuel consumption?

Kenny, LD said basketball. Are you alluding to something bigger? I like your idea too. The big difference is I have to have some creature comforts for the wife who believes no room-service is roughing it.

Bjorn, Do you think without the plywood restriction your results would have been different?

RDD, It could be much worse. You could be like me, short and fat 5' 10" and 200 lbs.

What's your idea?

Wick, If you're plaaning on camping, why not look for one of these M109A3 shop vans? I converted my 35 to a 109 with swapping to a box. I'm also moving from Indiana to Houston using the truck as my primary mover. In three months I will put on about 6500 miles with her. Even running bad fuel she...

Albin, I'd say a nice stand-alone garage improvement behind your home is in order. Add all the nice options too such as A/C, heat, full tool bench, bathroom, bed (a refuge for when the wife kicks you out of the house you still have a home), fridge, computer w/internet (to keep in contact with...

Those are five ton wreckers.

I'll be taking more pics this weekend. BTW, I intended to say 1/2 inch. I missed a button or two last night. Sorry. the O.D. is 1 inch but inside is 1/2 inch just like the fuel line.

Yep. Plenty of work.............. Thanks for the help Ken.

Albin, I used two inch lline to connect the tanks and some angle iron for supporting the line. I pump both tanks at the same time so I don't worry about drain-back.

Folks, He knows what he's talking about! He didn't become a paint shop foreman for nothing!!!!!

Congrats DB!!!!!!!!!!
