Waved goodbye to my 5 ton today :cry: Driveway looks too empty now. But the truck went to a good home.. It was purchased by a very nice couple from Iowa.

Thank you :) I'm sure it will all work out in the end.

Indeed. If I do decide to get another one of these at some point, I will wait until I have some kind of rural property. It would just be easier that way.

Well.. Due to overwhelming medical bills from my surgery, and some credit card debt that I need to pay off, I listed my 5 ton for sale today :sad: I love it to death, and I hate to see it go, but there's just no other way. I'm also planning on selling my '66 Ford Fairlane as well, so I can get a...

Thanks. What mods were necessary to get it in there?

Did you do the S10 heater core that I always hear people talking about?

:p

eh... Didn't do anything to the truck today.. Again. I did run it yesterday, but that was it. Spent the day inside the garage trying to learn how to weld with my cheap new Harbor Freight welder.. Works pretty well. Perfect day for it.. First we had rain, then sleet, then rain, then hail, then...

Where did you end up getting your coolant filter from?

lol.. You're just getting old. Happens to everyone eventually :) So when are you going to pick up an M939 series 5 ton? ;)

Lovely weather you're having.. Yeah I have used the 5 ton wipers in a very heavy downpour, but I have yet to use them during heavy driven snow. Although, they do move pretty fast on high speed.

Feel free to send those my way.. For free ;) :)

See post 3316 :roll: :p

What sight are you referring to? :p

That looks sweet :) Cutting it a little bit close with the clearances though.. ;) Are you going to mount a stop block in the floor to make sure that you don't accidentally back up too far?

I saw a military surplus "plugging" kit on eBay not too long ago.. Said it would work on 14r20's. As long as there is sufficient tread left on the tire, I don't think it should be a problem. Are you going to have a tire shop do it, or are you going to try to DIY?

Just a few days ago regular gas was around $1.68 here. Now it's back up to $1.88..
