I recently titled the MK48 at White Bear-even with it shown as an FPU and a trailer, they managed to get it done in about 15 minutes. The girls there are decent and look like they hustle behind the corner.

Vehicles with three wheels are in a whole different vehicle classification. This merits cutting off a few wheels on my Deuce. 3-wheeled bobber and no extra tax. 3 wheeled Dragon Wagon may be an issue though.
Ugly but still can drive it inexpensively. I will wait till 2015 to buy a torch.

Mad now. Problem is, one can not know who the scammer chimp actually is. Thats the frustrating part-no possibility of renumeration or other sorts of activities.
Legislation on the books calls for a black box installed in every car by 2015. Part of the reason here is less gas being used means less taxes generated. A new use tax is being talked about-the black box would allow gov to track usage in miles. New and creative ways will be employed to secure...

Post more pictures. I have never seen one with the cover and bows on before. I would like to see a side view photo.
Also, can you share what serial number you have. I am curious to know if these trucks where made in a cluster. My serial is 500254 and was claimed to be a 1995 model year...
Great news and just in time for a little cooler weather driving. Its to bad you got stuck in the St Paul Klownfest Klowneria. Its time to put some miles on your truck.

Shoot-did not really know what I was bidding! Recently used it to pick up some fabricated items-yes, I actually used it for a little work! Enough of the driveway queen stuff-this gal can work too!
I am keeping this truck all stock but have a set of different wheels and tires on her.

No. The frames fit perfectly inside the bed with the sides up. I did however have to leave the tail gait down-the frames extended beyong that point. There is no real good place for straps so I simply ran the straps under the box and hooked to top of frame rails.
We normally run our 1 ton Dually...
When the bigger stuff needs to be hauled here, the A3 gets thrown into the mix. Not just some beautiful garage queen, but a sort of pack mule when she needs to be.
Had about 3 tons of fabrications in the back and still could not feel a difference in ride.
Structural pieces where being...
My SF arrives last Friday via UPS. Nobody home to recv it so had to pick it up at the local post office. If anybody is has not seen theirs from the first JAX batch-this may be why.
I hit the local DMV last Sat and 20 minutes later walked out with FARM (Minnesota) plates. To secure the plates to...
I have checked the orientation of my FPU to trailer drive shaft. Found there are no match marks on mine. Given the low miles and painted threads on this truck indicates it may have never been apart.
The two pictures show the relationship of the trailer front U-joint yoke and the FPU CARDAN...
With mine now licensed and insured, I was able to take it out on the highway yesterday. Drove a round trip of about 12 miles and report the following:
To reduce strain on FPU suspension, initiate turn when in motion. Manage steering wheel in a fluid motion and try not to adjust. The optics of...
Its difficult to adjust the nut on the braker lever. After wrestling and contorting I found that using a deep socket and several extensions and a ratchet allowed me to get it dialed in perfectly. The ratchet extensions need to extend up past the rear cargo box. Crank away and the truck will...
I have a Craigs Systems 280 like enclosure. Fits in back of a Duece perfectly-three rail bottom, robust door and big. Abandoning my camper project. Enclosure is in MN.

Pull the bearing out and compare it to a Duece brg. I was told the difference between the two was a keyway machined in the inner race to allow air passage to pump tire. A3 trucks where a cheap modernization of the original Duece. My hunch is the Duece bearing will work if you are not using the...
Nice looking install. I put the exact stereo in my A3. Mounted it to a plate then secured up right on the side of the shift column. Yours looks better and less prone to theft. Money well spent on an A3 is for a set of lockouts-truck will steer and handle a little better. Set of Goodyears will...
