Drill, rivet, repeat...... (make **** sure you have the plate locked where you want it before you put in that second rivet) I hate you. :-P Someday I will have one.

No, it wasn't designed that way. It was designed to have the tongue unbolted from under the box ( at the bolt near the spring pack) to facilitate in packing the trailers in tighter for shipping purposes. Edit: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/859791-post41.html found in this thread on page 5 ...

Reinforcement, Duh :-P (sorry couldn't help it) The gun ring is heavy. I've heard that if you actually get to shoot a M2 off the ring it will eventually crack the cab without the plate installed. I wouldnt want to have the ring without the plate, even for just driving around.

Maybe someone should forward this to GL: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/847746-post16.html

It is what he said it was. AKA a Burma Jeep.

Those handles are tie down points. Not for tying the truck down but for when you need to tie stuff to the truck.

Salvage yard info is more closely guarded than auction info.:p

Yes the studs will be threaded the same as the outer thimble. No one makes them the other way around. Think about it, if it were threaded the other way once you started to torque down the outer lugnut the thimble would start to break loose.

Hmmmm wonder where all that good information comes from? Couldn't be from guys that have been in the hobby for years, decades for some, that have seen what works and what doesn't could it?

You need to search out the advice of a few members here that are in rural FD's. They can help you out in what you need to do to aquire trucks. Remember though, they are Fire Trucks and not personal play toys. Trucks with water tanks can be extremely dangerous when untrained drivers get ahold of...

I have yet to see anyone "dictate" what one can and can not do with these trucks. I have seen people offer opinions and advice, just like you are doing here. Advice and opinions differ from person to person. Lately when some one post a "what do you think" thread it seems that all they are...

Then go somewhere else if you dont like this place. The instant you put something on a public road, with other people using that road, you no longer have the right to "do what you want".

Yes, Bobbed deuces with lift blocks will have lots of axle wrap and wheel hop when you play with them off road.

roflDid you look at the date of the first post? (dont sweat it, we've all done it)

Not to stir the pot, but................ You'll also notice that all the bars you posted are braced and gusseted (except the last ones from skyjacker, are those traction bars or links?) You'll also notice that their bars are all made from round tubing, not square tubing. Round tubing is much...

doghead, that would work but I was specifically thinking of how it was done in this post: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/348362-post1.html .

otherwise known to most wives as "more junk storage" :p

I dont think its just that simple. Do you know all whats involved in swapping all that over? Edit: my response above is not to Vintage iron. It is for Prankster. I dont belive you can just swap hubs to allow use of 10 lug wheels.

OK how does this work. When I upload pictures, they show up at the bottom of the post with the white boarder around them. I have seen some people post pics without that boarder and they are able to post text right next to the pic. It would make "how to" posts much easier to understand...
