When ever somebody posts that DAF video I HAVE TO WATCH IT again! I did not realize that DAF produced so many different trucks and knew nothing about the APC. The trucks look fairly conventional except that drive system I have never seen one such as that, not sure if its a good idea or not...

I have seen this on vehicles that have sat outdoors for long periods of time between the sun and the rain its bound to happen. The only real way to clean this up long term is to pull the weather stripping off so you are able to totally see what your dealing with, POR 15 is a good product and...

Mark your 712 looks beautiful and the trailer just adds to it! I tried so darned hard to find a 712 in the US and after about 6 month of looking I finally found a fellow in FL that had and ambulance 712 and I had seen it sold then not sold then sold again and finally I called him he was asking...

Jon there is something in there I cant tell you if its bad or not but I would be willing to bet that if you change it now and again this coming fall that will take care of it and would also bet there will be no ill effects to the hubs! Karl

Wow your work is certainly coming along nicely and because of the rust you have your hands pretty full! As you start to move forward other areas that have the potential to have a lot of rot in them are going to be cab corners and the front fenders just ahead of where the headlights attach to...

I am very sorry to hear of your incredible giant pile of troubles in buying the 2206 (beautiful truck by the way as you already know you bought it) ! I dont have anything to add to lessen you burden of dealing with all this, and I truly cant believe they cut the drive shaft, OH you situation is...

Congrats on the M37 acquisition they are good pickup, simple, easy to work on pretty reliable if maintenance is kept up on! Depending on what you know about this trucks history something I do to all my trucks when I get them is to drain all lubricants including diffs, trans and transfer case...

Ryan welcome to the site, and congrats on your new acquisition it looks in fine shape, what engine and transmission? As far as the tank goes I noticed a couple things, there is no ground strap on the truck used to ground the truck to what ever your refueling, If the exhaust on the truck does...

Good looking truck, there is no way your just cant love a nice OshKosh! I have what looks to be the same truck but its a plow truck running a CAT engine. When I got it came with every blade including a V-plow and a 12 ft straight plow a Wing blade and a belly blade. I sold off all the blades...

I live in ND and all my trucks sit over the winter with no starting, every one has a 24 volt battery tender on it and if the trucks are going to sit over the summer unused I make sure to dump a anti-biological growth additive in the tank and run the truck before its actually done. We are cold...

I have been eyeing a 419 for a long time now and still have not pulled the trigger on one and since I am a true blue UNIMOG lover they fit right in with my other Unimog. OK back to the subject, it sounds like you have work that needs to get done ie. septic system dug, thats cool but that is...

Hey guys after reading this it looks like your installing this weather front on a 1078? My winter front was on a Deuce, it came with the heater kit I picked up for my truck. It had a whole bunch of fasteners that your supposed to drill in the grill guard etc. then screw in fasteners that...

When I ran my truck in the winter the cover went on in early November and was on till Spring it made I bet a 20 degree difference in the cab at 0 degrees. The engine heats up a lot faster and they are easy to put on and take off, also protects the front of the truck.

When I got my Deuce and after all the mechanical work was completed I rhino lined the interior concentrating on the entire floor and up the back wall of the cab. Then I pulled the floor up over the transmission and installed FAT MATT between the floor and the trans etc. then I installed a block...

Welcome aboard Bill what are your thoughts on what you want and what you want your new MV for? How big is the place your going to keep the new vehicle? Karl

I currently have 7 MV vehicles titled and licensed in North Dakota and they are treated as any other vehicle including the Heavy Use Tax on my M920 and my M977 HEMTT. My 5 tons are licensed as Farm trucks and the only limitation there is I can only be no more than 300 miles from the farm, never...

Tatra813 keep your eyes open because I have seen a couple BV206s for sale over the last couple years and once of them looked pretty decent it had the Mercedes diesel engine in it and the seller claimed the tracks were all good no rot and I think it sold for under 50K

If this is a repeat sorry but a buddy just got a new Milwaukee Cordless its like 36 volts or more and can generate 1800 ft pounds of torque. The battery life was very good for this type of performance and it retails for 1K$ Milwaukee is marketing it in the Industrial sector, not for trucks!

I have a 6000 sq ft warehouse that I store all my trucks in over the winter, concrete floors but no heat. All the trucks have trickle 2 amp chargers on the batteries and that all seems to work very well! One thing I used to do was to go out therre at least once a winter and start each truck...

Allie in our local club we have 4 different 939 series trucks but every one I know of has just the drop side beds on them including mine. With that said I will certainly put the work out and see if anybody else knows where one of these can be had, If I hear of something I will sure let you know...
