It does not matter, it was a pending sale and a lot of work ahead for Indy. The frame was good and may still be. The engine was an unknown. I tried to bump start it and slid the tires, so that may be toast as well. It was full of coolant and oil felt clean, no grit.
The box was decent but the...
A guy here in town hung his cans on the steel portion of his mud flaps, behinf the duals, under the box, plus one on the running board. I can see the double bumper looking kind of cool, but it will sure turn the end of the frame down with that leverage if you snag it. I like the protected lights...
They are very rough, beyond restoration. None with engines, transmissions in the bed. Most are pretty rusty, some have good looking tires, but we lose a lot of those if we tow the trucks home. Good looking tire blowouts have been enough of a problem, we started loading two on a trailer and...
I have been able to siphon off fuel and move it fast enough to keep up, but we were only picking up two or three trucks at a time. This time we have about 40 total five tons coming in. Seems like they are either empty or close to full. I could do the filtering on a gravity flow to the storage...
I may be in the wrong part of the forum. Here is the problem, I have about 30 trucks with fuel in them and am looking for a faster and cleaner way to recover the fuel without siphoning or pulling the plug. I would like to pump it up to a tote in the bed of my M1008 or one of my deuces. From...
That would cost more than the house did! My Grandparents bought this shack in 1945 for 2500 dollars. It cost me a lot more than that to buy it out of the estate. Now it has 1X3 flooring, if I was to venture a guess. Prior to them buying it, there had been a fire upstairs. We found out about that...
If you can get Maccus to post a photo of his 818 with the 109 box on it, you will forget all about trying to restore that 810. His truck is a real beauty. We have 20 more five tons in the yard now. I am headed out after work, providing all goes well, to have a look at them. Some 813s and some...
Nice truck! Your video is much better than mine....I never thought about an across the cab view, it will be getting colder here and I will shoot another. Thanks for sharing!
The real value here is the brotherhood that ties us together. I never met another group quite like this. There are a lot of people here who will go much farther to help a fellow MV owner out than their own families would. Welcome from Kansas!
I have two that need rebuilt and I have two spares. Thanks for the heads up! I keep hoping for another on the scrap coming in, but its not happening.....
I would like to know what kind of fuel mileage everyone is getting with their duce?
My '72 was the best on fuel of any I have checked. It actually made right at 11 pulling my M1008 behind it loaded. I made 12.5 with it cruising down the highway and helping a Vet in need move. I am not sure I...
I can take photos, but it is ugly. I see the punctured the fuel tank with a crawler with forks on it and bent the lugs on the axle that did not have wheels. I suppose the chassis could be saved, a different front axle installed, the cab was big time rusty before, but we have cabs, I did not look...
