When doing my swappable conversion, I tried to figure out several of these points, to make them easy swappable. I started from an orignal dump truck with pto-powered hydraulic pimp. Using the original dumb bed, I did not think about the possibilities of putting the hydraulic cylinders on the...

Last year we met a guy here in our museum who is a retired commander of diesel submarines.

:tank: bump

Thanks, I did not realize the 1200x20 are not only wider but also have a larger diameter, thought they were the same. From another thread I now found that the difference is about an inch in diameter between 11 and 12. Can you mount them directly or do you need some kind of spacers between the...

Yes I did search and yes, the question surely has been asked million times. With all the oversize single threads and the deuce and 9xx series dominating, I could not find a good thread on it. So here goes. This is Tatra land here and I get can new surplus army tires 12.00x20 for about $ 120...

Thanks, looks like is fits perfectly behind the screen. Any details or more pics of it?

Reducing the noise level somewhat on our M51A2 multifuel would be nice, and I was wondering if anybody ever did something with it. I saw some threads on noise levels for 5-ton trucks, but most stories go about the 8xx and 9xx series. Also an interesting revived thread for the the Deuce...

I downloaded the first pic to play around with it, so at least I can restore that one (if that's ok with you). I like brain puzzlers. Patracy's first image. Almost restored the flipped version as I had saved it.

I was on the wrong track also, thought it was a flipped image, did not noticed the other mistakes. In Europe, its only the UK that is driving right-hand side. Africa and Asia still have a lot of countries driving "wrong". A lot of the continental European surplus trucks or old trucks also...

In the Czech Republic they are still for sale 1956 Gaz e-bay like auction, I think more from private sellers, with some real prices collectors bazar Just the Gaz-69 club with more info Short look shows that most of them are around 50K -70K Czech crowns,or about $3,000 to $4,500 (thank a...

Should look like this DDS 235 wrecker in slow truck race Reason for edit: Can somebody explain me how the @#$##@ embed a youtube video? I keep trying but it does not work.

From the picture almost too good condition to need a complete standard paint job at all. Custom wishes, however, is always a good reason to repaint. ;)

I ran into some nice material on the Dutch DAF MVs including armored material. So where to post. The non-US MV forum has seven sub-fora: - four on German stuff, - one on Volvo, - one on everything east-block - one on Tatra. I am sorry (and stubborn) but as Dutchman I am not going to post...

:ditto::ditto: Get one of the M50's or M800s. They are nice entry models to start with, including power steering etc.

Don't. I like the pink avatar. It might even stop some neighbors from complaining about that horrible big green thing on your driveway. You might even start a trend! There is a famous movie precedent in Operation Petticoat. It was so successful that it was followed up by a TV serial two...

Another pic of a trailer for these beasts. You can recognize the tractor in front. Liberated the pic from internet, was mentioned as a 1981 US Air Force MX Missile Transport Truck.

:ditto: in spades. I would be scared sh***less sitting next to that guy doing his tricks. :cookoo: , like the Muppet's Swedish Cook. Big, slow, and green is more my thing. Or something like this tractor you have to start with gunpowder: tractor Besides, that is not a standard Volvo 240 engine...

Bump, posts are going too quick here:jumpin:

Fair 'nough, all we can ask for. Thanks
