looks like there is a 2ed rear frame back there! O man one got cut up.

 

[DanMartin]

I don't think so westy...those wheels are too small. Either a 5 ton rear frame, or some kind of a custom dolly for towing shorter trailers behind the 10-ton (or both).

Someone needs to get this....the dual inches I believe is somewhat rare.

I will NEVER buy anything from a guy that says a truck has a "wench" it isn't that hard people, geeze.

 

[Westech]

O i see it.. I was just looking at the 5th wheel

 

[timntrucks]

wow .. the wild things going around in my head..

 

[Capt.Marion]

I saw that part of the ad and started weighing the benefits and disadvantages of having two "wenches" on the back... well, as long as you keep them separated and oblivious...

 

[JWNathan]

What engine does this have, I saw in the ad it just says GM 300 V8. Could someone help educate this newb? Thanks.

why do deals like that always have to be on the coast...

 

[NDT]

That is a screaming bargain. Enigne is V-8 Cummins, 300 hp.

 

[StreetbikeDepot]

Thats seams like a good deal. I just got a handfull of new exhaust brake kits for that truck from GL.

OK, as much as I would love to own one of these monsters, there a few issues to be concerned about with this rig:

If you lived far away (like I do) the cost shipping something that large home would be a astronomical

Even if you could afford to buy it and have it shipped home, how would one repair the Cumming V8-300? (not a GMC like the eBay auction reads)
If I understand correctly, those engines were kinda/sorta special to these rigs, so parts will not be easy to come by.

Now, if I could only win the lotto, so I could hire a truck to haul this toy back from sunny SOCAL.

It is a monster !! I would take it if I had the bucks for it !! Also I see that the 5th wheel in installed on backwards on the tractor with the jaws facing to the cab !! It has a V-8 Cummins V-903 diesel engine it is rated at 300 hp at 3100 rpms . The truck I drove in the Army would make 43 mph at 3400 rpms going downhill bobtail !!

 

[ida34]

I don't mind a wench or two but it all depends on how they look.

 

[Sgt Hulka]

I meant to thank Capt. Marion for his perfect analysis of the two wench dilemma...

 

[waayfast]

I think I remember a few other apps for that powerplant---seems like a fella here local had a large (old) Bucyrus-Erie Excavator that originally had the 903 but got repowered after she puked.
Oh, so close yet so far away--------------

 

[NDT]

As far as having it hauled, with the outer duals removed it is not overwidth, and is basically the same footprint as a deuce, so figure on $1.50 to $2.00/mile, the usual rates.

 

[airmech3839]

still everything is on the left coast when all those that want them are on the right coast.......I am sure those guys feel the same way.......wish I could!!! Not sure what I would do with it but I am sure I could come up with something!!

 

[JWNathan]

still everything is on the left coast when all those that want them are on the right coast

Yeah thats the truth! I've been on the lookut for a Duece for around 2k and cant find jack. You Southern boys get all the good stuff. Wish this 10 ton were closer, looks like a beast!
