Anyone in the Atlanta area have a 5 ton wheel/tire?

[patracy]

I'm looking at picking up a 5 ton truck in north east georgia, but it has one bad tire. I'm probably going to switch out the tires on the truck anyhow. But I wondered if anyone had a 5 ton wheel/tire (11.00) that I could rent/borrow/buy?

I've got 10 or so on rims, mostly bald, but would get you home. Problem is they are in SC. I'm hoping to head to Clinto's this Sunday to drop off a couple of trucks, so I could bring you one. You can have it.

 

[patracy]

That might work out. The truck I'm looking at is in Winder. So I could run over to Clinto's, let me nail down things a little more.

Cookout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W00t!!!!

I have about 20 or so here,but too far away.

I'll probably have many more in a week or so,scrapyard doesn't take tires.

 

[timntrucks]

yes i got a bunch too... but im kinda off your beaten path. haha

 

[papabear]

We have some in Columbus but that's still 100 miles SW.

The offer stands if we can help.

Why don't you bring the deuce bed and I'll invite myself to Clintos and you can have the 5th wheel....
Woot!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Oh boy, that just might work! The one deuce I have to deliver has no bed, I could put it on that one and strap it down...

Clint, you up for all this? We would have to get the 5th wheel off your truck Tim and slide the bed on it.

I'll have to get with Blythwood Joe and make sure I can get Dawn's steering boxless one and see what he wants for/even has a bed ready to go.

I have to talk to my boss tomorrow-we are in the process of moving from one building to another and we were supposed to be out of the old building by the 30th.

Of December. 2010

It's now the middle of January. 2011.

So we're screwed (through no fault of mine, mind you).

We should have been done by now. I managed to work over 40 hours last weekend.

Right now? I am guessing I am going to have to work all weekend.

But I will verify tomorrow.

You guys looking for Saturday or Sunday silliness?

[Makincold]

Not sure yet, I have to see what it will take to mobilize my support crew!
Let you both know shortly

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I'd have to do it Sunday

 

[Makincold]

Then Sunday is what I'll see about for my support crew
Hey Clinto... Mind if I invire myself over? You need to see my M818 anyway
Even if we cant work it out this weekend maybe we can still make the plan work another time?

My apologies to "patracy" Didnt mean to hijack your thread. I will have (2) 5 ton tires/wheels avaliable to borrow in 4 or 5 weeks on a trade I have worked out, there all yours to borrow if they fit in your time frame ?

 

[patracy]

No worries. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics on everything. I'm thinking about heading up there today or tomorrow and viewing the truck/buying. Clinto was kind enough to offer to store it at his place if I did buy it until I can get a friend with CDL's up there to drive it back home. I'm still working out all the details on things. The spare tires might not be that bad of an issue. The seller offered to pull the two fronts off and throw on two from the rear.

 

[patracy]

Ferro, I thought last night in chat you were from VA for some reason. Didn't realize you're in SC. Let me know about that crane when you can.

 

[wreckerman893]

That crowd is going to need some adult supervision.....I hope Dawn is at Clinto's LZ.

 

[airmech3839]

Sounds like another off shoot of the GArally starting in Clinto's neighborhood!!!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Hey, I resemble that remark!

 

[EMD567]

It's a shame the 814 is down- You could slide the deuce bed in, and not touch the ends.........

 

[Makincold]

Wow, I've just been included in "that crowd" not sure if I should jump for joy or be insulted???

What does the 5th wheel asssembly on a M818 weigh ? Need to know if I have something to pick it up?
