Registering my guestimate on the height:
13 '2.66666"... aka PERFECT for an MV addict

I'm not going to try to estimate the height but notice the stacks removed from the deuces.

That's funny. He was over to our mutual friend's (who is building a house) yesterday around lunch time and I was over there in the late afternoon so I just missed them. We got to chatting later and he mentioned that Curt went with a buddy to help his uncle get three deuces from IA. I thought the same thing, its a small world.

The Volvo is a 1995 WIA64TES with a VED12 425HP engine and Volvo 14 speed syncro trans. The trans was not liked by most american truckers because single clutching is required every shift and was dropped after just a few years. Still used in Europe in some variation. I personally think it is a creampuff of a transmission to run, like a modern pickup with a stick.Wow that Volvo looks almost the same one i trained on! Does it have the Cummings?

In the one pic I was backed up to the flatbed dock. They have a dropdeck dock right beside it at Camp Dodge. The flatbed dock height was perfect.
A hint for all load height guessers. You are all very close and I would only measure it to the nearest inch so it 13'__"
