The site owner has set forth certain rules. He has tasked the moderation staff to apply these rules. No disrespect meant but your post number on any other forum is of no relevance here. Why is it so difficult? If these rules, that you agreed to, are so egregious, why did you click OK to accept...

The only thing it keeping it out of the top frame of UGLY wall of fame is no stacks. Add stacks and it gets top billing.

Argh, my eyes! Feels like swords piercing through them.

The most important thing is to look closely at the joints and make sure you are bending them in a manner that they can bend. Sounds basic and rudimentary but many frames get broken for this very reason. Take your time.

The bed is around 12,000#. In order to safely manage it plan on hiring a big tater or a crane unless you have friends with 2 5 ton wreckers. That's what it took at the 2012 GA Rally to safely manage moving a wrecker bed onto a truck. Let it sit for a while, come to the GA Rally and sit a...

Ah yes! Lodging for eight!

Can't wait to see pics of the M887 on the stretcher behind the W400 bambalance.

Worthy of note is that the towed truck and the towing truck are nearly identical in appearance (except for those extra doors).

How did this happen? When I switched out all my MVs from deuces to CUCVs, I invested in AAA. Sometimes (not always) it's faster to call them than to self rescue with a towbar or trailer. Any 81-87 (up to 91 for the blazer and 1/2 ton sub) 4x4 10 bolt axle will work. Check for bearing...

I can imagine that the hay burners would cost much more to operate than the oil burners used to get the hay burners on site. It you had some angus beef you would only have to transport it one way. Radios, sounds like we could use a combination of MURS on the trails and at rally central and...

There are many TMs for these trucks and we do mention them often. With that said, the operators manual can explain lots of these basic things. At least go through that manual pretty completely when possible.

Invest in a tire company unless you have extensive fabricating skills. The ackerman angle isn't adjustable and it set up for 154" wheelbase. Front tire wear on the 142" wheelbase trucks is very evident and amplified. I would imagine going down to 130" wheelbase would be exponentially worse...

If a new inner fender at a steal of a price appeals to you, contact Gimpyrobb. Delivery to the GA Rally is almost guaranteed. FWIW there was some issues with the weight of the factory 6TL cracking that inner fender. I don't know what the 2 batteries you have weigh but I'm pretty sure one 6TL...

Welcome aboard. That is good information that will be available to help many more members in the future.

Looks like a job best left for the dead of winter.

Socks in the tank can be a problem.Speddmon went through this a couple of years back.

Wow, I need to come visit. Cool trucks.

I also concur.

I am working up a schedule for registrations. Will reach out to all that showed interest shortly.

Something to measure before settling on a bed. I know you said it had the wider rear axle from a dually type pickup not a CC axle. I would still measure the cab to axle length to confirm it. There was a cc with the wider rear axle. It was referred to an ambulance chassis. 56" cab to axle is...
