Why is it that the dump trucks always get trashed? :?
Check out the pic below. Looks almost like the one Rick has above. I was looking at buying it awhile back. IIRC, asking price was ~ $5000 - not bad for a running 5-ton dump. . . but that thing had been "rode hard and put away wet"...
Yea!! can it be done?
I like to try to read all of the posts, but sometimes it is difficult to keep up every day. A longer list would help.
Thanks Mike.
I know that you can get a list of "unread posts" when you log in, but sometimes when you get logged-out accidentally, you lose that list. :(
Andy,
Look just above each of the pictures. Those are the links to the websites where the pictures are found. I don't believe there are any more of that particular truck, but you can have fun browsing around if you want. :wink:
It's not my website, but there are a lot of great pics...
A standard cargo cover will NOT fit a dump bed. Notice how the canvas is tailored to fit snuggly over the cab protector (headache rack)

This is actually a M817, but the bed is the same.

IIRC, our ol' buddy "Monster Man "(aka Lance Busch) had some video with sound on his website. Seems like that was a loooong time ago. Let me see if I can find it.
. . . . several minutes later . . . boy, that was easy. :wink:

To add some insight regarding the air filter housing:
(assuming it is original, and not hacked up somehow :( ), then:
1. If it is like the picture Bjorn has shown above, (with air filter housing on the right fender) it is a -A1 (Mack Diesel) or a -A2 (Multifuel)
2. If the air filter housing is...
