I am thinking of purchasing and parting out 4 semi trucks with turbo charged 855 cummins engines in them. i dont own a 5-ton so i dont know if these engines would be desirable to any of you guys but if they are please let me know. I was thinking they would make a nice re-power for a N/A 250. Oh yea, i am gonna try to get them where i can sell them cheep too. around $800 for a complete running engine. Let me know what ya think guys !!!

I might be interested in an engine. What about the transmissions?

Also, I am looking for a set of 10 or 11 rims to put on my M819, that I can use modern tubeless radials on.

Any more details on the trucks or pictures?

Man those motors sound like a goo deal may be interested. You looking to take a trade on one?

DH I paid $25 bucks for my used 22.5 steel rims somewhere down in GA a while back when I singled out one of my M54s. They run real well on the road and wear like iron. I have a source for used wheels but with new powdercoating for $60 ( if I remember right, I can call and double check ) If interested let me know and I can pick them up for ya and start getting them headed north.

for $800? I'll take one and Andy1234 would also.
if the transmissions are extra that's fine.
how many miles on them?
any chance of getting other parts off of them?
how would you like payment?

ok, i stoped by today to snap a few pics, man these trucks r ugly! lol. But that asside, here they are. i am going back tonight to see if i can get them fired up, (havent tryed yet). all of the trucks will be driven 35mi to the site of there death. If there are any problems they should show then. a couple of the trucks have pretty nice tires on them too if anyone is interested in the tires and wheels, tubeless 22.5's. I plan on having all of the trucks in my posession mid next week. All of the parts will be sold on a first come/pay basis. Sorry but i cant sit on these for very long at all do to the money invested and my lack of extra. Shoot me a pm if your interested. Thanks, Dave.

Can you let me know what size the tires are?(both number size and actual diameter please)

Also, are the rims Budd Centered(use tapered nuts) or Hub Centered(?
