    Break release when truck is not running?

    They aren't air brakes. They are air over hydraulic so no spring brake.

    Police CUCV on duty W/pics

    Hey man, it's just for medicinal purposes....honest dude.... Our county likes to wait just until they are about to harvest. That really pisses them off, often times they will spend the money before they've sold their product. Makes for some unhappy people LOL

    For you guys with HIAB cranes & wreckers & trailers.

    Now that is funny right there. Saw a f'tard driving a dump truck down I25 in Fountain, CO with the bed all the way up. I drove dump for a long time and how you can drive down the road with the box up and not know it is beyone me. Anyway, this f'tard is doing 70 and you guessed it, hit the...

    Unless things in CO have changed, titleing your trailer as a homebuilt is VERY easy 8)

    Found a bunch of winches...big ones!

    LOL, cool. Wanted to enter the Ford in that but was too busy at the time and didn't want to drive that far either. Massetti's are awesome, they put together some awesome events and are a lot of fun...I've got video somewhere of them taking the trucks and trailers (one being the ticket booth)...

    Found a bunch of winches...big ones!

    Never pulled with mine, but my buddy did with his a few years ago and it wasn't fast but it wasn't stopping until the sled operator dropped the pan.

    Chunked tire

    Luckily I've neveer had that problem with the big trucks, but have had chunks come off of them dang Uniroyal Laredo's that most of the 1009s have on them. I've had probably a dozen of them do that, and they weren't caps, they just don't like speeds over 60mph.

    French Camp Mechanic in the house?

    8876 was a pretty decent truck. Canvas seat cushions were good, tires were new except the spare, batteries were DRY as a bone, oil looked good, antifreeze was good, no leaks...although it appeared as if the goo had melted out of the solid state flasher unit? That was odd. Data plates were all...

    French Camp Mechanic in the house?

    Which units you interested in? I just got back from there about 15 minutes ago. Took notes on each of the trucks, they were all in pretty decent shape, but a couple I'd steer clear of. They have a ton of trucks there right now but the majority of them flagged to ship to Morrocco and Israel....I...

    Cables...make sure them cables are in good shape because it would cost a small fortune to replace them.

    Wheel & Tire Ballance

    Centramatics work awesome. I've got them on my HMMWV and put them on my pickup now as well. Spendy, but what isn't.......

    Wheel & Tire Ballance

    Works great, the bigger the tire the better it seems to work. There's a lot of them out there now, the one I'm most familiar with is called Equal.

    CB Antenna kits?

    A buddy and I did th antenna conversion to the tuneable base, SWR came out excellent, wasn't perfect but then where it was mounted didn't leave for the best of ground planes anyway. We found the instructions online, think it was a civvy hummer website.

    Found M-4 Sherman chassis ? ! ?

    The CF&I steel mill in Pueblo, CO, used to be one of the foundrys that made Sherman turrets. Rumor has it that there are a coupl turrets buried there that were "blems". Just a rumor I heard, couldn't prove it if I had to.
