. Here in North Carolina, Transporter Plates are something that can be applied for. Might be worth investigating in your state too. .

. Wow! From where I am sitting, You have a fantastic job! Nothing quite like fixing on MV's all day and getting PAID to do it...

. I just had to snag a few pictures to spruce up your post @NEIOWA NICE find! .

. I have and did a lot before the first SF97 showed up. It really is pretty crummy, but even though you paid for the truck they aren't in any hurry.

. Help from Simp is a possibility, but I guarantee he doesn't run one. What about looking in the TM for your M920? The papers are still available, and the "Pens" are also available because I use those on humidity monitoring equipment in the print shop. Yours on a truck would be electrically...

. The other answer that they will give is "30 working days" not calendar days. Remember too that they operate at "Government Speed" which is completely different than the speed of the rest of the world. Exception to that rule is if you owe them tax money... They expect that to happen quickly...

. I dunno, but if it did I need to become pals with some of the local cops. Our guys had a six wheel drive something or other and the other day I spotted their latest addition for the SWAT team.

. That is for sure! Even on an old 1980's Chevy pickup truck - a piece of cardboard to cover most (3/4's) of the radiator will make it happy in the cold weather if you can't find an Arctic Kit.

. Agreed 100% And, I am pretty unlikely to ever buy a battery powered car/truck. Although, with this bunch and the creativity here - It might be incredibly cool to see a battery powered MV towing a generator trailer - charging the batteries going down the highway. That would be about as close...

. Thanks!!! It looks really nice. Amazing what a coat of paint and some TLC will do for a lonely MV.

. She is definitely a looker! Very Nice indeed! That fire truck must have a heck of a story too...

. I like it! Might have to rob a bank to get the money to fill up that tank, but it might get you to work and back several times :cool: Maybe you could offer up that you are considering another version of the truck that will be battery powered when you finish this one...

. Bill... Any more?

. So montaillou , I have to ask: Did you use bed liner because it will help hold stuff still - or just because it is "tougher" than a good coat of paint? You mentioned protecting / sealing from possible rust. Seems like either would have worked. Just curious about your logic?

. So I gotta ask... How do you each chicken riding down the highway without greasing the steering wheel?

. Talk it over with @Mogman . He has a thread about what you want to do... Even has some pricing info in that thread (see below) https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/duramax-6-6-and-allison-transmission-swap.208390/post-2430541

. Wow! It almost looks brand new... Very sharp!

. The sad part is that they really don't care what you think or if they are doing what you think they should be doing. They work at "political speed" and are in no hurry on anything. 90 days - as awful as it seems has been fast compared to some. Stressing over it only works on your patience...

. Again I say - Dang this thing is looking almost brand new! If she runs as well as she looks, you should be one happy guy...

. Guessing the bus fleet with diesel heaters could keep their passengers warm - even if the drive motor were to fail? That seems like a pretty important thing when your primary business is transporting humans... Never really gave it any thought until now.
