Trying to argue with them is futile. Like others have said, you will need another truck. Renting one will probably be your best route. They don't understand the military trucks, and don't want to. They will just make more excuses to disqualify your truck. Impossible to have a battle of wits with...

Welcome aboard, you will love it here.

In my opinion, if you broke it down to parts value the truck is probably worth that much. Would I buy it, probably not. Would i restore it, absolutely not. I see a parts truck there, and maybe a work around the farm truck. If you want one to put on the road, I would wait for a better one. It...

Sounds to me like your pump may not be healthy to start with. I have a 818, my first and only 5 ton. When I got it I thought, boy what a dog these 5 tons are. Recently I found out why. My IP has been going bad all along. The truck still runs the way it did when I bought it, but a friend of mine...

If I make it Friday, I could throw some 50 cal cans in the truck. I think I have about a hundred left. PM me if that works for anyone.

I planned to be there, but an illness in the family may not allow me now. Too early to tell, but hope to get there this year for the first time.

I would like to see pictures. I have a similar rig that I am thinking of getting 1600's for.

Hats off for the quick recovery. Like others have said, I was certain it was a hacker when I saw the message topics.

Welcome aboard. Very nice truck. I hope to put my 818 on 1600's some day.

According to the first paragraph the primary concern is revenue. We need to show they will loose money by further regulating our vehicles. They will reduce sales, therefore sales tax, fuel usage, road and sales tax, people will be forced to sell their trucks out of state because they can't use...

I agree it is very vague right now, and not a finished Bill. I don't think we should wait and watch. I think we need to flood them with opposition and try to make them reconsider making any changes.

So under the HB668, we are covered? Now it will even include tractors? We could end up better off. I don't like the insurance thing, as I carry commercial insurance as a CYA thing, Historic insurance won't pay if you went to Lowes to pick up a couple boards. I don't want to get in a pinch over a...

please do write, and I encourage anyone out of state to write. Let them know that this will get national attention from Veterans, Firefighters, Historians, and Collectors alike.

I welcome anyone to use any of this as they see fit, but please be polite and politically correct. If anyone has any suggestions, this is just a draft that I plan to finish and send off this week. Everyone please spread the word to as many people as you can, and plead with them to write their...

And I figured I would attach these two pictures, and ask if this is what the want to put an end to.

Here is a first draft of what I was thinking of sending to the legislators. Let's also send letters to michael.busch@house.state.md.us who is speaker of the house. I here he is looking to enter the next governors race, so he will not want any bad press from Veterans and other large respected...

Would taking the trucks to Annapolis be a good thing or bad? I would fear too many Jack Holes would see the big scary trucks and say no we don't want those on the roads. I do believe flooding them with pictures of them in parades, and having veterans present are great ideas. I can supply some...

But then if you get weighed you are in trouble. This would effectively make it not worth tagging three of my trucks, and cost me more money to tag my M1009s. Where do they get off limiting historics by weight. Just because my trucks are over 10k doesn't mean they aren't a part of history.

Maryland has a bill up that will eliminate historic tags on trucks over 10k pound GVW. http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/bills/sb/sb0846f.pdf . We need to make a big stand here, or we will have to pay out the butt for tags and have to conform to DOT regulations :-(
