They'll rub on the inside. Just barely. On the heads of the bolts that hold the trunnion cap in place.

Hey! I'm just seeing this. I was glad to be in a position to do something for you, especially since you had just provided some expert consult on some generator wiring I was doing. A good time was had by all. Thanks

So recently I had the privilege of picking up a genset from Abilene KS for @Light in the Dark . A buddy and i were already going, and the plan was to simply add the genset to the load and drive the 50 miles or so and drop it at Fastenal and then go have a steak. I had some pelican type...

Starts and runs. I had a guy who wanted it if it runs, so I got it running..and haven't heard word one from him since.

Buyer had me dismount tires to get a set of six bare HEMTT rims together, then stopped replying. 6 HEMTT rims - $1000. ***SOLD***

Thanks! You're in Houston. I lived there for a while. You'll probably get away with the 230 CCA, even on your coldest winter day. We've seen -32* F here in the last couple of years. My HMMWV was the only thing that started that day.

I'd pay to watch that :)

Thanks. I guess the pic isn't clear. I went from the main positive on the top to the little skinny trigger post from where I had removed the trigger wire. Amperage was minimal. It fired right up. Now my buyer has gone silent.

@fuzzytoaster replied to your other thread. My opinion- at this point you're better off driving it. The dual circuit brake system makes that a safe enough option and your whole attitude towards it means that this would be recreation and not drudgery. I've done a bunch of truck recoveries...

"If you do that" of course it won't. And if you, or someone else doesn't do that? Sequence counts. If you disconnect from the grid before you connect to the generator, there's no way to get it wrong. But it's possible that someone else who doesn't have such an awareness could be using your...

450 CCA, or close enough?

Tell me about the batteries you found? To hook into your panel, you want an interlock that makes it impossible for both grid power and genset power to be switched on at the same time. $80 or so, and it could save you from negligent homicide charges....

Sorry, I don't have any. What I did for mounting brackets was 3/8" plate 3x8" and drilled a hole to line up with an existing hole on the truck frame. Once the bed was in place, i bolted the plate to the truck and then welded the bracket to the bed rail with the bed already positioned.

I used the thick one.

@BigRig379 may have some suggestions. I'd do it in two easy days. Don't drive tired. If you're too tired to change a tire, you're too tired to drive. Brakes are the biggest worry. Check brake fluid at every stop. Here's how I'd do it - Check fluids and tires and inspect brakes for leaks...

Putting a cargo bed on a truck tractor generally requires a bit of fab work. The wheelbase isn't the same length between the cargo trucks and the truck tractors. Cutting the bed down to 12' works well if you remove the spare carrier and air lines and go right up to the cab.

Resolved. It's now running.

I thank you profusely!
