This will be the first Aberdeen show that I will have missed in the last 20 years. Like Neil (and actually with Neil), I usually buy spaces, but I did not this year. I have an elderly mother who requires care and this is my weekend to care for her. I'll be there is spirit. I hope the weather...
I have had cargo covers on drop side trucks for years and I never had one wear through at the locations that are mentioned. I don't put thousands of miles on my trucks per year, but I drive them as a hobbyist, which quite often involves speeds in excess of 40 mph. M813rc has a good suggestion...
Yeah, they are NOT good off-road. There was about an inch of snow on the ground and the ground was not quite soft, but also was not frozen. I could not get it to climb out of its parking space. It did have the stock tires on it...the same ones that are shown in the pics. They really are...
A bit of history on the machine...I bought it from a dealer that acquired it from a (Indian) Tribal association. It was dented when I got it, it appeared to have been dented for a while since they painted it CARC over the dent. One of the pivot steering brakes leaked so it was always low (and...
1-The military calls for four 6TL batteries, but you don't need them. In fact, they are expensive and you can find cheaper civilian batteries. Just be sure you are getting batteries with sufficient CCAs. Group 31s should be fine. Two should work, and definitely will in warmer weather. But...
I don't recognize the name, but I went to their website and it listed "Bill and Mari." I wonder if that is the same Bill from Plattsburgh Diesel, which is about 28 miles away. If it is, I have dealt with Bill a couple of times, and have found him to be a good guy.
The M39 series trucks seem fairly rare these days, or at least you don't see a lot of them coming up for sale. They can be found...but for obvious reasons, the M809 and M939 series are more prevalent. I like the M39 series (on which the M52 is based). I think it would be a great truck for a...
For starters, relist it on uShip and tell them that you will need a trucking company that can winch an incomplete (and not roadworthy trailer) up onto their trailer deck. If a trailer with a winch is tough to find, you can hire a wrecker service to lift the trailer onto a trailer. After...
I once owned Jumbo, the 1957 M125 10 ton cargo. It was a very cool truck, but it was more fun to look and talk about than drive in my opinion. I once hit a road sign with my passenger side mirror...AND I WAS IN MY LANE! I believe top speed was 42 MPH. Still, I do miss it every so often. The...
