So did the conversion actually happen? Has anyone else attempted it? I'm considering converting my 925A2 to a tractor since prices are through the roof now. I have a line on a 5th wheel plate and "christmas tree" from a member, but I'm concerned about running the trailer air and electric.
I hate to see the trucks meet that end, but there are a dozen families that have food on the table because of the business and Glen is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I'm hoping that when they start to run out of trucks that maybe he'll park a couple of dozen for parts and charge more.
Tail lights were inop. We had brake, turn signal and hazards in the rear, but that was it. All other lights were good, so I ran chase to keep the locals from driving underneath him.
Made the trip to recover truck number #2. Blew a tire on the trailer before we even left town which ate up two hours aua. When we did get there we found five trashed tires, but we had planned for that after the last recovery. New batteries and diesel and it fired right up. Thanks again to Brian...
I'll probably go with a more conventional truck camper, although the flat floor sound like a great feature. How much does the truck sway with that much weight up high? Did you have any concerns with anchoring it? I figured I'd pick your brain before I start on mine. Thanks!
Thats impressive! I was looking at doing something similar, however I was concerned with the overall height. Could you save enough inches between the top of the cab and the camper to justify a custom bed? I have access to a Marine Corps ISO bed and I believe they a slightly lower to accommodate...
I hate that a few integrity-challenged people ruined it for all of us, but GP workers have a job to do and that's what feeds their family. Cant hold that against them. I had a pretty good experience with them when I went last month. They were extremely helpful and Brian even brought out a impact...
If you need parts check out BFR Metals in Salina KS. Worth the trip.

Hes doesn't pull parts or ship. His guys pull big ticket items and put them to the side for pick up, but all those frames, cabs, and beds you see in the pictures will get crushed and sold by weight. He has several pairs of Marine Corps axles with the lockers in them and a ton of winches and...
The recovery went very smooth. We had brought along two new tires based on the GP photos, however when we got there it was apparent that we needed three for sure and the fourth was questionable. With the spare and the two new tires we made it work. The GP dispo stated that no gauges or lights...
Tomorrow myself and a new SS member will be headed to Riley for 923A2 recovery and this will be the beginning of the build thread for that truck. After reading the trucks dispo off of GP we made two runs to BFR Metals in Salina KS to get "must have" parts for successful recovery and wear and...
