Looks like the Go Dov chapter in these truck's lives may be over, Eastern Surplus & Equipment ( a supporter of this site ) just bought (the remaining?) 60 of these ... Good luck Dave! Quite a commitment.

Agree with Simp, my much larger track hoe struggles to pick up a 3000 lb shelter with the stick out.

Either. The trans/transfer assy will be on the ground, if you are rebuilding the trans, the rebuilder will appreciate if you have the adapter off already.

Ask (on Steel Soldiers) and you will receive ...

Sure there was not a character to the left of DIV??

I think it might be 201011575. If so, your hood got switched at some point. I would use what is on the Jeep now, not the calculated number, seems more correct even though it may be wrong.

Isn’t that the valley drain line?

Does anyone know if these are omnidirectional like the regular ones? Dave will be making a sale if so.

I think the spacers are 1/4” x 2”, just to provide a base for the fifth wheel above the frame rivets.

Dude not many of us on here are LESO 1033’ers.
