    Large Surplus Trailers

    1ton, Usually the lowboys are in good structural condition but in need of new wood 90% of the time. They usually use an off shoot of the NDCC tires for the smaller and shorter lowboy. These tires can easily be converted to more common civy tires. As far as longevity, like anything else, it...

    MM, Real sharp!! It gives me ideas for 'Storm when it's her time to get overhauled big time (cab-off-frame resto and some mods mostly for safety)!

    Upgrade an LDT?

    So far I have found out there are some extra modifications to the LDS not found on the LDT that do bolt on. Once I have a place in TX where I can do this project properly I'll keep y'all updated. It may be a while though.

    How do military auctions work?

    JJ, Unless you know what you are looking for and have experience with the equipment you are better off to go to a reputable surplus dealer that haas the experience, spare parts, service and advice you need to make a good selection. You could buy a wholesale truck in need of repairs and wind-up...

    Primary Fuel Filter Changeout

    Cten, You did a top notch job! Next time you might want to actually change the filter itself. Fine particles can build up over time to slow down the filter's capacity to keep up with the engine's fuel demands. This will more likely cause a reduction in top end speed. However, it might also...

    M35A2 Axles dated 6-72

    Warren, That's the gear ratio. It says the same on mine too. Up by where the brake shoes are the year of the axle is cast in the sand mold.

    dislexus

    Yeah, plus if you are sick and hit the meds a bit too hard it really messes up your typing! Foucus goes down-hill fast too!

    Adv. Methods of Temp Control

    Bjorn, Ok, I guess I have a moded. alt. then because the case says she's a 60 amp. 24v. unit. So if I decide to put an electric fan on I'd have enough power to do it, right?

    Upgrade an LDT?

    SG, Yep, I noticed that a long time ago.

    HOLY.......someone wanted this one bad LOL

    Well, you know what they say,"A fool and their money soon part ways". They'll probably be ill after they find out they paid about $2,000 above retail for a wholesale truck. Plus, there is no guarantee the thing will even run or drive. GL really is a scam.

    Huh, This Will Get Me Flamed...

    HRD, We also need to hit the lottery every week too............................ It is a nice thought though. Personally I really liked my old 13 over with the 4&1/4 3406 purely mechanical Cat.!

    Upgrade an LDT?

    Ah ha, that makes sense. I believe I'll be looking for some cracked LDS's once we're in TX then!
