Warren, Got a better persective with the other pictures, really nice work, -you have the idea down, one big pickup truck w/ the dual rear axles. The 5 ton bed is the optimum part for the mod, I may have to settle for a duece bed. JC

Bad scene, so sorry, that crew never had a chance. RIP. That National jumbo was on our ramp this past Peak season (Christmas) hauling packages for Big Brown.

Thanks, in picture #7 you're attaching plates to the bottom of the rail, what plates are they? Did you salvage them from the fifth wheel plate assembly?

Please post pictures, trying to visulize the flap bed w/ no sides and a narrow bed. Nice work JC

Beautiful work and craftsmanship. I'm trying just to find time to install the reverse light switch mod. JC

This could haul the heavy stuff.

Joe, Call Bob Rainville, "he's the guy", 317-710-2240, he works well and knows the trucks, SS ID is Bobr2004. Tell him Joe sent you. JC

Oh man, you think rebuilding a truck is expensive, it would cost millions to make that airframe fly again. An airworthy Beech can be had for less than 100K. Lets get one and start a little expedited truck parts business. We could air drop the light stuff.

Here is what we use to carry packages at night now.

There are several flying (AT-11) as collectable warbirds, they were navagation trainers, Civilian Beech-18 would be pretty tired by now. The Beech 18 I worked carried cancelled checks and other loose freight at night. Twin Pratt & Whitney R-985, 9 cylinder radials. Haven't seen one in the air...

Heath is right on, civilian model was the Beech 18, worked them for several years before jets.

Looks like your in luck, the truck is still listed, nice looking truck, clean engine. Buy it and drive it home.

Better check the auction site, if it is Govt. Liquidation, the truck might have "disappeared".

Ryan, Welcome aboard, contact "Castle Bravo" (Matt) , he is in Tempe, good guy and knows the equipment. He can probably let you look at a truck, maybe even sell you one. Lots of nice old trucks out there for a lot less than 35K, if you're mechanically inclined, they are easy to work on. JC

Same here, bids and watch list vanished , whole events gone. So I jumped on our site because I knew there would be a bunch of us in the same boat. I love this site.

Welcome, we call it "green crack" OD green is very addictive. JC

Yes, the title contains the info that you entered with GL for the SF-97. Be real specific when you complete the form/application. JC

There are volumes of manuals that support these trucks; engines, runnig gear, equipment, etc, the one you really need and will answer all the operational questions is the "operators" TM. Get a copy for your specific truck series/model and keep it in the glove box. A lot of good info on the...

Glad I found this thread, I have 2 NHC 250s that could use this kit. Going shopping at waller performance JC
