You definately do much better with weight in the back in the snow. I was refering more to how all the big Oshkosh deicated snow trucks are always single rear axle single tires. You get much better contact preasure which helps alot on ice.

The #3 from that site (pictured) is exactly what I'm thinking about, just throw in a dump piston. [^] Wouldn't pay $7800 for the conversion though.

I am contemplating (first I need to find a truck) the pros and cons of dropping off a rear axle on a truck setup for super singles. Here are two examples. The first truck is almost exactly what I an thinking about (probably cut 2 feet off the end), but I like alot of the secound one as well...

I have a 4 speed aux box with 2 under, 1 direct, and 1 over, but it's nearly 18" long and I don't know if it will fit, but a 20 spd would be sweet. [^]

I don't know anything about them but they have custom rims and very good tire prices. 16-20's with 95+ tread for $125! Rims: http://www.stazworks.com/rims.html Tires: http://www.stazworks.com/tires.html

How much do 5 ton 2 peice wheels go for? It would be fairly easy to cut and weld to make them work with a deuce.

From what I've been told from a friend that builds diesels for tractor pulls is that in a non-turbo motor your trying to protect the pistons from too much heat. In a turbo motor (especially older non-ball bearing turbos) the turbo bearings are the first thing to go- blows the turbo and sents...

Colomil, I know of one near Fort Collins, CO. It's not really a salvage yard, actually it's not a business at all, but a freind of mine has about 100+ military vehicles of all types from jeeps to large high speed tractors, lots of deuces. He doesn't have a phone (or power or water for that...

Firefighting versions of the HEMTTs have full production independent suspension, and all current production ones run 16-20's. I'll semd you a PM with a better pic (I have several somewhere, but I'll have to look).

If anyone is interested, I have a real nice A frame bed (on an oil field truck now) that is very similar to Kenny's that I might be willing to part with. It's non military, but I think it's actually quite a bit nicer. It has a Ramsey PTO drive winch, an all steel diamond plate deck, 1/8" wall...

Can anyone tell me what the empty weight and GVWR of a 5 ton is? M54 or M813 cargo. I know they vary allot, but the numbers I have seen online are all over the board- 15k to 23k empty and GVWR's up to 55k. The reason I ask is I want to know if I can register a 5 ton as a non CDL truck in...

Has anyone out there converted an M105 trailer or similar to make it dump? The thought of using a long travel bottle jack as a piston, like the ones on engine hoists, seems appealing if it would work- but I don't know if a bottle jack would function at that kind of angle. It would be really...
