    Pair of Former Water Buffalo Trailers.

    well i couldnt find the empty weight in that TM, only the payload, which is 3360LBS, so i guess ill take one to scale and just weight it by itself(pop it off the truck and let it rest on the landing gear). turns out these ones are older then '77, they only have a single airline for the brakes

    deuce reverse light

    when they asked me about my lack of reverse lights, i told them the truck never came with them and it was the end of that. instead of trying to rig up some backup lights, just install 2 lights on the back and put a switch to turn them on/off under the dash.

    Pair of Former Water Buffalo Trailers.

    395/85R20 Goodyears on a 5 ton

    i think the only 5 ton that would look in preportion to 1600's would a 814, but i have never seen an 814 with 1600's, but i have seen 818s. 816s. 813s, they all look nice as hell and would want one. but the tires look a little to big. the 395s look nice btw.

    Makeshift Trailer Plug

    well the plug works great. 4 nails, an old car side 4wire wiring harness, and some liquid black tape and presto, took me about 20 minutes to make, mostly waiting for the tape to dry, but i took it out for a test today and worked perfect, ill try and get some pictures up soon.

    Progressive Insurance

    the problem with gulfway is they wont insure a truck to be used daily, they only insure trucks for parades, shows and what not, i tried gulfway/hagardy and got the same thing, if i got in a wreck and had a bag of potting soil, a 2x4 or anything like that it would void my insurance policy, so for...
