As long as you don't get pulled over by a cop who is ex-military and had any interest in trucks while he was in the service. I know of at least two Maryland troopers who could bust you on a "1970" 900 series any day of the week... Any THAT would not be pretty.
Yeah, it's kind of BS that they extended the sale, but it's apparently the magnitude of the extension bothering everyone. I've watched plenty of items go for an hour or more after the "close time" on a regular sale. It's normal behavior on GL. Bidding at the last minute does not matter on GL...
I would bring the pry bar to get it out of the pinion, but I would probably just tie it up out of the way. Bring some masking tape and tape the caps of the rear u-joint so you don't lose them and then use some #12 copper wire (or equivalent) and tie through the yoke (wrap it around between yoke...
Either should work, but definitely take a wrench. If you rotate the shaft, you can usually get on them at some point underneath with a socket and extension, but take the wrench just in case.
Looks good, Hans! I can't wait to see it after paint! You might want to tighten the ropes up a bit to cinch those corners in before you go driving down the road too fast.;-)
You've got a whistler. Don't you hear it spool up as you push the pedal down?? When driving on a level road in 4th or 5th, press the accelerator down and listen to the turbo change sounds. Hardly any RPM increase = lots of turbo speed increase. If you had a turbo boost gauge, you'd see it move...
I saw a 5-ton recently with a mileage of something like "327,123" and the pic of the speedometer clearly showed 32712.3, so you never can believe what gets tracscribed into the listing description...
If you got one of the recent trucks out of Meade without the beds on them, I would not be shocked if there's no locker in it. However, my experience with trucks like those is that they still have 4.56's to match the front axle.
Six bows come in a standard 5-ton kit with the 14ft bed versus the 12ft bed of the deuce. If it is 3-piece kit (cover and separate end curtains) you can use the cover, but it'll just be a foot longer on each end than a deuce kit. Looks kind of funny, but still usable. If it's one-piece, it won't...
