Well I thought I had a uship transporter lined up for a fair price on Friday. So Kevin/Oso was nice enough to make the pickup happen, but in the mean time we canceled the mini rally and Kevin scheduled some other obligations into the slots. Then this morning the transporter told me that he...

Hammer/Ed, That is some very useful information. I would have never considered short term insurance. Your a good guy. Likes to cut the corners like I do. A thinker. So any suggestions on what companies do the short term insurance? Also I am still considering having the truck shipped. Are...

I was on board with this idea 100%. But then I realized that my 813 has historic plates and collector insurance. So I am not covered unless I get re-registered and real insurance.

Flat tow isn't a bad idea. The 16.00x20 loose a lot when going up steep hills, with a towed load of 26,000 it would be that much worse. I guess I could swap out my 11.00x20 street tread tires. I will have to talk to Adam about it. So CDL A would be ok for 23K M813A1 pulling 26K M283 if the...

I know that first hand. I had to do an inperson license renewal back in sept. I think I picked up a copy then. Funny part was I showed up early on a monday, and only after waiting for 2 hours did I find out that they are open tues-sat.

Adam, I think it is, I have an underground lab and everything. Did you catch the dedication at PNNL on the news yesterday, I saw one report that showed the overburden piled on the lab, I think it was KEPR-TV. Harold, I don't know a S.B. an electronics guy S.M. The lab is actually pretty...

Yep, that is the one. Radiation Detection and Nuclear Sciences Detector Development

It is almost like they want me to drive a truck for a living not as a hobby. Maybe the govt. should come up with a rule that if you want to experiments with something, anything, you first have to get a degree in physics and understand how the world works first. Or if you are going to have...

Kevin, Still only 3 Steel soldiers and me and two friends. Hammer, I do not know anyone with trucking equipment much less a lowboy. I did get a uship bid of $1300 to move the truck. But I would rather put the money towards parts for the M328. Do you mean a cdl learners permit or a trip...

Hammer, Thanx, it is good to know that there are others in the 'area' we can go to for questions if needed. Sometimes I just wish this state wasn't so big. What ever made the Govt. think it would be a good idea to put a Nuke related lab way out in the middle of nowhere?:-D I think Adam and I...

Scott, We are still -SO ON-, stronger than ever. That is if you want to make the drive over and back. We will plan more. And if not, there is always a place for you to crash at the Ranch.

Good to know, I respect that opinion. From Ellensburg to yakima you can take the Yakima canyon/ river road. it is pretty level until you pull out at the Yakima end. I sorta feel that getting rid of the stop and go on the HWY and just setting a cruising speed on the interstate is the least...

Harold, Thanx for the offer. So do you drive hwy 2 and Steven's Pass towards Levenworth much? How curvy, two lane both ways? In your opinion, for an old 1954 MV, would you dive the slow and easy turns of the interstate or take the windy slower speed back roads.

Adam, Are you for real? WOW That would be amazing. Let's talk. PM is on your way.

Rydel, I am still wondering if the truck is under 26,000 lbs, an thus I do not need a CDL, can I still get an oversized load trip permit? Or for the oversized load permit do I need a CDL? :lost: Kevin has singled the truck out with 16.00x20s so now the widest part is the bed at 117" or 119".

Gosh Scott! Tanner couldn't even get the whole truck into two pictures. drrrrrofl Rydel, 135" is what the data plate says, but I think that was with the original dual duals in the rear. Kevin said it was 117" or 119" wide at the bed. Can any schmoe walk into the DOT and ask for the...

Thanx. Congrats on the graduation.

I don't know yet. Just exploring the possibilities and trying to do what is easiest. I would hate to be broke down on the side of the road with that beast.:shock:

Scott, Looks like only you and Josh and maybe Dan (job permitting) so far. So now that another day has passed I have a couple more data points. I found a donor engine near by and a couple others I still have to check on. I placed a U-ship add and so far have gotten 1 bite from a guy near...

Kevin called Brad this morning and we are SOL on 6602 parts. Brad got rid of the 6602 engines and the intake manifold Kevin thought we could get our hands onto. Brad also gave this tidbit, "to help ensure the head gasket/blue devil sealant fix holds, loosen the radiator cap so pressure doesn't...
