maybe what I should have asked is ......how are the military trucks plumbed ?
knowledge doesn't hurt anyone - might help to know so I can judge how expert the professionals plan is when I do ask....or maybe if its straight forward I might be able to do it myself and save more than a few bucks...
Im looking at an all wheel drive 1996 autocar ACL that has a bad transmission....wonder if any of you fellas can give me a thumbnail explanation of how one would go about plumbing this truck to utilize its brakes while being flat towed by another air brake equipped truck - like is commonly...
thank you all for the information and clarification(s)
I saw the new site - was shocked at starting bids - or reserve what ever it is called ....much different from old site which seems to be the same company - different division
yes - I know about Govt Planet - didn't know if they were taking over from Govt Liq or just another outlet......seems pricing starts a lot higher now and selection is a LOT less.

a steering tag axle mounted behind the tandems would be pretty trick - especially if it could be raised and lowered as required like a m920
I suspect if you mounted the new rear steering axle and set the caster angle somewhere around the same as the front steering axle and put a decent size...
Wreckerman - looks like your mods will do the job for a lightly loaded trailer - but you might want to either paint that rear frame some bright /reflective color or add some kind of warning lights (side and rear)......even a 2x4 hanging out of a pick up bed needs a red flag - so someone doesn't...

I have seen a 1967 Mack DM6116S for sale - looked up info on the net....not too much avail.....suspect this is an old military tractor that was used like the current M916...even has a big Tulsa winch behind the cab....seems in pretty decent shape body wise - has Mack diesel that doesn't run and...
In 2011 alone, more than 700,000 items were transferred to police departments for a total value of $500 million. This year, as of May 15, police departments already acquired almost $400 million worth of stuff. Last year’s record would have certainly been shattered if the Arizona Republic hadn’t...
