I am not planning on doing anything right now. But I would put one away for another time or help someone out that needs one now. I am just going to have fun for now!

Thanks Eldgen for the tip on the Dump bed. I only referenced it so people could get a full picture of what I was planning and to see how it would change the design of the hydraulic system. As for the weight issue. These trucks are rated for 10 ton on road, I don't think a few hundred pounds will...

If I don't use the fuller what is a better transmission? I would like to keep the rpm down and the power up. My buddy has lots of extra parts. He is selling lots of five spds right now. Maybe some are OD transmissions. What model numbers should I look for?

I have a Garwood 45,000 lb winch mounted to the front of the m54. The Garwood 45,000 can on 10 ton wreckers and was shaft to chain driven. My buddy has a ten ton and the power comes from a driveshaft that comes from the top of the tranny to a shaft/sprocket block, up to a forward reverse box...

I am purchasing a 5 ton with 48 super singles and there is a big gap between gears. I have been reading some of the posts on this topic and it sounds like the fuller 9 spd is the way to go. I am not looking to turn this truck into a rocket ship. I just want to keep the truck in the sweet spot...

Thank you for all the response. I went to the COMVEC show and everyone was great too. It is good to see there are still true good hearted American out there. I am planning to use this truck on my farm to haul material, plowing, on the beach, parades and camping. So I will be using the alt fuel...

I am purchasing a 5 ton with the multifuel engine. The own tells me that he uses ATF and atleast 20% diesel to run the truck. I have read a lot of the posts on Alt fuel message board, but I have some question since I am just getting my feet wet with this. First is will any diesel engine run on...
