    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Dualed 395 would be insane wide (and cool). May have to fab some skirts or extensions for the bed sides. The maxpro trucks didnt even try and cover the duals in the begining they just stuck out the side of the truck about 8-12". Later trucks had fender extensions welded on similar to steel flat...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    We never ran caman or cougars in dually configuration. Maxpro internationals ran dual rears to help with rollovers that were happening when they first came into theater, and the MASSIVE RPG protection that hanged off the sides were either caged flat bar or the foam filled boxes (some of ours had...

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    Weld on chassis all the time. Just remember whats done on one side must be done on the other. Thats why this crack did not get fish plated, the other side of the frame was fine still. The truck dumped on heavy side sloap and fell over cracking the frame. Also was a double frame which we all know...

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    All about heat control sir... to my knowledge (which isnt much) im under the impression the 5 ton frame is not high temper, at least not to the point of over the road trucks. Id be curious to know what its make up is though if some one knows. If it is hugh temper it CAN be done effectively...
