Are the center not welded to the rims already? Having a professional weld them in is going to be way stronger and safer than any bolt on adapters will ever be. Tom PS: If you don't mind me asking what did those wheels and tires cost you?

Just bought some more items from Speedy Metals today. I love dealing with them. Tom

Yeah I could see that. Pounds per square inch are your friend in winter weather. I'll bet it will go anywhere on those narrow tires. Tom

A special paint gun that puts a really high voltage low amperage positive charge on the paint gun and you put a ground on the part you wish to paint. The paint just flies to the metal just like a magnet does to metal. Plus side is very very little If any over spray and no real waste of...

Where's the 53" tall tires you had on it? Tom

Electrostatic paint it you wouldn't even have to move it back unless your wanting to scuff it prior to painting it. Tom

They have caused me to go directly to air ride as well. I'll never use springs now. Tom

No sorry I don't Guess I could start one. Tom

That is a really cool idea. I'm thinking that I might just have to build one of these. Tom

I know they will let you drive out the gate in Indianapolis, Indiana Tom

I can't see how surplus that was paid for and owned by US taxpayers should be allowed to be sold by sealed bids. Call your congressmen and complain about it. Tom

Hey Guys I'm going to Indianapolis next Wednesday to look at the trucks and trailers that are getting ready to go up for auction. So If anyone has a few question about anything up there I could look at it for you later in the day. I plan to at the very least find me a nice M105 trailer...

Please show photos of the swap I'd love to see how it looks in your truck. Thanks Tom

That looks like it would be fun parking at the 7-11 store. :razz: Tom

It will be more than up for the task. Power steering fails in semis at times. You can still drive them, but Armstrong steering is NO FUN in one. My first semi didn't even have power steering in it and had a 238 Detroit with a Twin Stick transmission. Drive a rig across the quality...

A steering column from a semi truck is as strong as any made on earth. I owned semi trucks and was in the business for for 20 years. Your trusting the safety of the public and youself will endure from a 74 foot long 80,000 lb. freight train. That column will survive anything you'll ever...

I'd say your all on your own with that installation. Good Luck Tom

I'm not 100% sure which model it is, but they come on the back of 3120 Cat engines. Give me a day or two and I'll run down the model number for you. Tom

Allison has non-electronic overdrive 5-spd transmissions that will bolt right in. Tom

I think they have like 236 5-tons that are going in the next 2 weeks at Camp Shelby. That just seems like an lot trucks in one location. Not very many 2 1/2 trucks for sale, but man the are hundreds of 5-tons moving in January. I wonder If the Government is getting rid of them because of...
