Shure would have, Ron - but my plate is pretty darn full now with insane work and all. But, you never really know what might cross your path in the future! Just trying to be thankful for the cool toys in the barn that I have (and looking forward to having some time to play with them!). Dave.

Hey Guys, Yup - it is the same basic chassis as yours, Bjorn. They did lift the suspension about 1.5 to 2 inches. It is taller than it states in the "Wheeled Military Vehicles" book - since the entry in the book, the smaller HIAB crane (a 350?) was swapped out for a HIAB 650. This basically...
