That's a John Winslow built truck. I saw it in person and it was a beaut!

It sure does. The deuce cabs and the early 5-tons cabs are the same size. The later 939-series 5-ton trucks are wider and won't work on the 809-series. l

The expansible van trucks used the 215" wheelbase. Therefor you could use a M812A1, M814, M819, M820, or M821.

From what I have read, they were popular for moving electronics and other more fragile items etc... that needed the hydraulic lift gate for easy loading and unloading.

Thanks! It looks like Chow may be able to pick it up. That will work out just fine. Do you mean to tell me that you don't want to haul a u-haul full of pipeline tools from FLW again Marcus?! LOL! My dad still cusses me about that. He says his back still hurts from unloading everything...

Anyone close by that can help? Kevin? Even if the member isn't going to Aberdeen, I can arrange a side trip on the way home to pick up the set. Any help will be appreciated!!

Thanks for posting all of this info in a new thread. I wish I could attend. The family wants to stress that all SS members are encouraged to attend even if you won't be driving a MV.

Welcome to the site!! I'm always happy to see a fellow Hampton Roads member. We had a nice drive-in at Mt. Trashmore last year. I think we had around 10 trucks in attendance. I am hoping to schedule another on for the early spring so keep in touch.

Nice pics! I am missing some fittings on my air tanks, so that is a big help. Can you snap some of the t-case shift linkage and of the wiring above and around the transmission? Thanks!! Have you rebuild your Haldex Pure Air Plus air dryer yet? It's a good idea to do that because a stuck...

I am a little old school in that I only like 16.00's on HEMTT's. I say go with the 14.00R20's for a better look and as Gimpy said, better power on the road.

Hey, We won a MEP002A 5kw diesel genset at Chambersburg the other day. I would be very grateful if one of our PA members could swing by and pick that up for me. I will pay fuel. I would be even more grateful if that member could bring it to Aberdeen with them so we can get it there. I will...

We got one at Chambersburg the other day with the quiet kit. The paint is peeling badly on the quiet kit, but nothing a couple cans of Gillispie can't fix. It has a little more than 4000 hours on it. We got it for $270. Hope it runs!

I'm glad to see your project is progressing nicely! You should be ready for the 2009 GA Rally. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Yes we do. Please use it to sell items, not the forums.

Hi Mark, Thanks for volunteering. There are no spaces left for folks that haven't reserved in the past. We still have our spots that we have used for the last few years. What we need to do is find out what members want spots and get them to pony up the dough so we can afford to pay for them...

Don't forget the M55 and the M927/M928.

Man, those things will roast your butt. Once it is working well, you'll be riding with the windows cracked and the floor vents open :) Is the air flapper opening all the way? Is it making a lot of smoke? Will it stay running once you let go of the start switch and flip it to run? Have you...

Hi all, We are in desperate need of help to coordinate the reservation of our SS spaces for this year's Aberdeen show. Mike and I have been wrapped up with personal and professional situations and it hasn't gotten done yet. The deadline is fast approaching. We really need a member to step up...

It's not on your list, but I must suggest the Cummins 6BT 5.9L. I saw one at John Winslow's that was modded by Uncle Sam and it was a sweet machine. It has lots of power, the engine fits the space perfectly, and it's been done before so you aren't reinventing the wheel. Buy one of those early...
