    Help Identify a trailer found in a field

    Just hooking a 5 ton up to it and pulling it out or burning it out would be the fun way to remove the trailer, But we don't want to damage the trailer. It looks like a Bolster trailer. I think some members have re-purposes them in some pretty cool ways. Free would be a good price. Just tell...

    What is it?

    Thanks everyone! I bought the truck for parts or to bob. Just wanted to make sure I was not chopping up something rare. :-P. The box is pretty beat up and I am not sure if it is going to be a chicken coop or a sheet metal dumpster.

    What is it?

    Keeping the bumper for my M813. It will be black or green on the M813! But if I did keep it chrome, it would really screw up the pesky commuter cars. They would look in the rear view mirror and see themselves!

    What is it?

    I thought it was a M109 box. The military put it together this way. It has a rack for the generator on the side of the truck. I have all the windows too. I should call it Cyclops!

    To quote Catman "3. And I don't run industrial waste in well engineered, close tolerance machines including diesel engines." I am a little lost. Are close tolerance machines suppose to use lubrication? If it can run thought your engine on the inside, it should be filtered enough to burn...

    M820 with 16.00x20 tires possible?

    I would be concerned about vehicle height with 16.00's. How tall is your truck now? What is the legal eight limit 13' 6"? I believe that height for modern bridges. Forget about going though the hills of Connecticut, the low railroad bridges will make your M820 a convertible!

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Yeah, you can't go by computer scenes. I always take the color chip outside before I make my final decision and when in doubt do a sample area. I wanted to same paint and they don't do flat samples. I bought a quart just to be sure.

    Goldwing2000 the code code is (river rock 2139-10) Any Ben Moore store can help you. What sheen are you going to do? I like the flat myself. Prime all the rusted areas first. If you use rustoleum let it dry for a few days before top coating.
