If you have the money for a toy like that why not?
The only difference between Green Iron and crack is that when you wake up the next morning after a binge you have something in the driveway to show for your money.:wreckerman893:
I recently parted out a M927A1 with the 250 Cummins. I knew in advance that it was a Marine Corp truck with Detroit Lockers and the 20 foot ISO bed (which I wanted badly). All that I have left now is the parts for installing a winch. I sold the lockers, scrapped most of the cab, frame and the...
If you are not used to air brakes they can be touchy. You have to develop a soft foot since there really isn't a lot of leeway in adjusting the amount of air that is sent to the brake chambers.
If you are going to carry passengers make sure they are seated and restrained, especially if this is...
Good job. It's always better to have a wrecker and not need it that to need it and not have it.[thumbzup]
A while back a hired hand ran my tractor into a deep ditch.
It stayed upright but the teeter factor was high.
I couldn't get a straight line pull on it with either winch so I just slung...

It would pull...
A lot of those vans had asbestos in them and were sent to be abated. When that happened they usually took the original units out since the ducts had the offending substance in them. The one I had still had the heater unit but the AC was long gone. Finding something that fits exactly might be a...
I drove the older version in the Army and they are fine for short haul. They ride like an oxcart and have a lack of creature comforts. Mine had the 16 speed Cat with the 400 Cummins.
The newer ones with the Freightliner cabs may ride better and have AC.
You should check CA emission laws before...
I'll give you a real deal on three hayburners.
Yep...to not have frost heave to contend with we seem to have a problem building concrete roads. It is written into the Interstate Highway Act that a certain amount of interstate mileage has to be concrete (ya think the concrete industry had a...
