    Leave duals or go Singles

    No sand around here really. I'll haul some rock and dirt for building my new shop and house. Otherwise just putting around. I hadn't looked into 12's on the rear and 395s on the front. I assume they're the same height?

    Leave duals or go Singles

    Well that's more miles than I'll probably ever put on it. Is the stability with singles an issue or just better with duals? From what I've seen the newer versions run singles.

    Leave duals or go Singles

    Looking at ordering tires for my m51a2 dump. I really like the look of the 395's singled out. But is there any good reason, besides having spares, to not go singled? It's a toss up between the g177's 11.00r20's and some Michelin 395's. Cost seems to be about the same. I read somewhere that the...

    M51a2 wheelbase

    I have a guy picking up a M51A2 dump truck for me. I found where the length is 24'. I'm assuming that's bumper to bumper. Any one know the wheelbase or front of front tire to back of back tire length?

    5 ton dump truck questions

    Well looks like I'll be the proud new owner of a m51a2 fixer upper. Didn't think he was gonna budge on price but we came to an agreement. Found a guy selling some Goodyear 11.00r 20 g177's. It'll be a drive to get em but hopefully make it next weekend. I appreciate all the help and I'm sure I'm...

    5 ton dump truck questions

    Ok, I'll give them a call and my local guys. Online all looked around $200 apiece used plus freight. Needing 10 seemed a little steep.

    5 ton dump truck questions

    Any line on good used 11.00-20 tires? This one needs them before I'd consider driving it anywhere.

    5 ton dump truck questions

    I'm assuming the 11's would fit the stock wheel but the 395's would require a 10"? Would 395's allow it to be singled out? Or would I be better off leaving it with duals?

    5 ton dump truck questions

    I was kinda thinking it might be sucking air on the intake side of the fuel system. Do they run an electric pump? Would they be able to start and run if it wasn't running? He said it'd fire on ether and load on a trailer.

    5 ton dump truck questions

    I posted awhile back about a truck but the logistics of getting it home isn't going to work out. I actually found one a mile from my work and 20 miles from home. It's a 1968 m51a2 multifuel dumptruck. Rebuilt in 1989. He said everything works and it starts but the injection pump was leaking fuel...

    m45a1?

    It's about 280 miles away. I'm guessing driving it home would be a poor choice. We own some big flatbed goosenecks but it would put us way over legal weight limit. If I can get him down on price I'll start looking for a shipping company.

    m45a1?

    He said he bought it from the highway dept and he had a pic of the title. Said m45-a1 but I'm sure dmv screwed it up lol. It'd just be for me as a hobby truck to haul gravel and stuff. How much should it be able to haul? Was looking at 2.5 tons but this one seemed ok, more of a want than a...

    m45a1?

    Hopefully I'm in the right forum, sorry if I'm not. Found a guy selling a 1975 5 ton military dump truck. He says it's a M45a-1 with a mack diesel but I can't find any info on google about it. I thought it should be a m929 or m930 but I don't know much about the subject, yet lol. Is there such...
