LOL! I should have had him park it next to my Trailer 'O Tires... :mrgreen:

Absolutely, my pleasure! I'm going to demount my 11x20 tires and remount them on the Deuce wheels with bad tires. And now I have plenty of spares. Be sure to tell them Warren from Las Vegas referred you, so they know to give you a good deal too. You won't be disappointed.

Plus in states like yours, the high percentage of ranchers and farmers dictate just how rigidly the towing regulations are enforced (or not).

Only if you are towing commercially (i.e., you are being paid to do it). If you tow for personal (non-commercial) purposes, all you need is the appropriate endorsement for your DL. When I haul my antique Caterpillars to California for antique tractor shows, my Class "F" endorsement (loaded...

VERY true, since you are a trained professional, licensed and certified to do that sort of thing. I wouldn't have any problem with that at all. [thumbzup]

I hope your trip will go as well as mine did. Not many places I know of where you are encouraged to look around wherever you want, especially in the shop areas...nothing was off-limits while I was there, but I kept it respectful. I was very impressed. I hope I can do business with Steve &...

They will definitely make it worth your while! I'm going to demount the 11x20 tires from the 5-ton wheels and remount them to the Deuce wheels (the ones I got with bad tires; I'll dispose of these old/worn-out tires) for use on my truck...it has singled-out Goodyear G286 11x20 radials on it...

That's all I was trying to pass along: first-hand experience that could help other members...with all the other items I have to buy to get my Deuce road-worthy, it will be a while before I can afford to convert to Super Single radials. So, I know there are others in a similar situation as me...

WOW, that truck is gorgeous! Great score!!

Nevada Class "F."

I don't recall tearing into anyone pulling an M101 with a car. I might have made some recommendations with folks pulling M105 trailers with 1/2-ton or smaller pickups, but hey, that's their business. My truck is a heavy-duty 3/4-ton with 1-ton rear suspension & axle. I also have Firestone air...

Yesterday I made a 650-mile roundtrip journey to San Clemente, CA (on the northern doorstep of Camp Pendleton) to check out some used 9x20 NDT tires on Deuce rims that were advertised for $25 each. The trip was well worth my time and fuel! Even with fuel and expenses added in, it was a great...

I just had the pleasure of visiting scyros35's shop to purchase some used NDT tires/wheels, and I must say WOW! What a first-class setup! I also got to look at Steve's trucks, and these are all first-class jobs. If I was in the market for an MRAP replica, I gotta say, I'd definitely purchase...

In spite of the slow posting I've been busy fixing little things with my new Deuce: installed throttle pedal return spring; fixed engine shut-off cable; re-installed front towing shackles after cleaning the rust out of the mounting eyes; and replaced the shifter boot. I've also been...

Those look like the two trucks stored on an old, idled mining operation in the Sierra Nevada mountains; I've seen photos on other websites, and I don't think that they're for sale. Caretakers live on property to guard the mining equipment, so be sure to check in and get permission first. IIRC...

Local police rarely delve into commercial stuff; that's for the Highway Patrol or Staties (aka AAA with guns).

Congratulations on a successful recovery! If it all went according to plan, then it wouldn't be very memorable...and think of the bonding between you & your buds while sorting everything out. Great story, thanks for sharing!! That is a NIIIICE truck, good score! I'll be watching for the...

Awesome find, good job!! LOVE that gooseneck trailer you've got, I gotta get me one of those....

Hmmmm, seems there is some cross-confusion between the 2-cycle 53-series (3-53, 4-53, 6V53, 8V53) and the newer 4-cycle Series 50. The Series 50 is derived from the larger Series 60 4-stroke, but with 2 fewer cylinders. The Series 50 4-stroke usually features EGR and a few electronic controls...

I think he's referring to the old classic 4-color NATO Woodland scheme....but DANG mcmullag, your truck looks GOOD!!
