oops , I meant 5-ton tractor + expansible trailer, but yes, your sage advice remains the same. Thank you.

Would be extra nice to see the trailer expanded and closed both. Thanks in advance guys.

That the impression I get when I nose around the internet, that I'm asking too much for mine. Maybe I'll sell the window guards and air conditioning separately then price it competitively.

I use airbrake line. I did find that standard brass ferrules didnt work correctly as they did not allow for the engagement of the nut to fitting. I carefully, with a dremel tool, cut off the back part of the ferrule and that worked.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world : those who understand binary and those who don't.

Chasing girls is waaaaay more expensive than fixing an old 4x4.

pump up the tires real hard. I run 45 psi, gets me 19 to 20 mpg.

I plugged mine off as the insides of that doodad wouldn't come out.

One clue with the older trucks is the dual speedometer scale: if you have say a 1966 Kaiser and it has both mph / km then the speedo has been replaced.

Cheap to register, cheap to insure, fuel mileage aint bad.....as long as the injection pump is good then I'd say yea, go for it. The cost of a replacement pump can exceed the value of some of our trucks 8<)

stone pickr, I thought I saw that rig at the Hilton Gardens in Las Cruces NM awhile back...didn't know what I was lookin at though 8<)

I dont know the answer, but can comment that an hour or two labor is the least of your worries. I had the IP changed in my CUCV recently...it was a thousand bucks for a rebuilt one w/ labor. So now that I have replaced the most expensive part of the truck, I may as well fix the little stuff and...

Well, I presently spend $400 per month on fuel..so a six month payback isn't that bad.... I like it. Is this kind of on-board system available from Big Truck salvage yards?

Howdy neighbor, from the soooouth siiide 8<)

I'm new to this, so I'm OK with you telling me I'm wrong. Everytime oil is transferred there is some spillage / leakage. Sop it up with rags, now I got oily rags to deal with. Everything has a film of oil on it, attracting dirt , so now everything is oily AND dirty. I'm willing to trade cargo...

Unaffiliated : Pics of the rock shields are in this thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/72038-closeups-cucv-window-guards.html The vehicle previously saw Border Partol service, the shields are to protect agents from rocks thrown from the MX side. A's n 8's : I have a 41 cal derringer like...

Well, sorta kinda, yeah, 2 separate 12V systems that could be selectable somehow. I mean, most of the hardware is already there. Not a big deal, just a thought experiment. Attached is the Crown Victoria pic, Kinda redneck but thats what I had to work with at the time.

from a reliability perspective what about two twelves? Keep both alts & both batteries, but have redundancy ?
