Put on some new General Grabber OA Wide Base 385/65R22.5 tires on 22.5 x 12.25 4.75" offset 5 hand-hole rims on the steers. And finally installed my M939A2-series outboard brake drum upgrade. See post #113 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m809-series-m818-air-brake-retrofit.140055/page-6

LOVE me some Duluth Trading!! Don't have one anywhere near me though! I shop all on-line.

Hey, let me get six inches closer to that red light! MAYBE, I'll get there quicker! :roll::roll: You should have charged him a drayage fee! He was darn near coupled up to you!

S-cam rears/wedge fronts? How much progress so far? Are you doing a write up of it in the forum?
