Very funny Jeff. But a five ton can go pretty fast, untill it comes apart. If ya are gonna go fast, better have JT with his trailer to haul you back home. I know I'm gonna slow down from now on. No more 68 MPH in the GT. I leave that to Sammy

I see where your M1010 is up for trade. Any chance you would have the upper racks for sale as well...or maybe know where to get some?
Thanks, Bob Neely
Bob I'd sell it to you but you wouldn't like the price (since you'd have to take the rest of the truck). Keep an eye on the classifieds here as the bodies come up for sale occasionally. For some unknown reason folks buy the M1010s and then pull the box off and put regular pickup beds on them.

I am not sure an M52 can do 88 mph.
It doesn't have to. Only the early M52s that were fitted with the Flux Capacitor had to reach 88 MPH. The truck in question is an M52A2. As I'm sure you're well aware, all A2s were equipped with the Rockwell Turbo Encabulator which activates at 2,600 RPM in 5th gear. If yours doesn't work, it may be out of adjustment. Consult your -10, or check out this promotional film:
