Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Wow! Very nice. If you have a chance, whip out the phone and squeeze off a few pix for a walk-around to add to your post. Maybe even a few of the interior would be cool to have too. That would establish "where it started" and as you fix things and personalize it, you will have a baseline later.
I am going with an RTOO14613. It's a triple OD 13spd. .83 .74 .60
I'll actually be making a bunch of trips to NC as my son is headed to UNC Charlotte to play football. However, I don't think the wife would like riding in this thing for the three days it would take to get there!Wow! Very nice.

If you happen to need a long road trip, North Carolina would make a fine expedition!
Yes, I would be thrilled to go for a ride

Right now I'm thinking it's going to be an Allison 4700 RDS. I want an automatic for sure.
Neat!! Congratulations on your son being selected for the UNCC football team! It is a heck of a good school and has been steadily growing for a lot of years. My grandmother was the English Department Chair back in the 1960's (I think). There is a "light rail" here in Charlotte that has a station on the edge of campus and it travels to the center of town and beyond. Makes it easy to get around the first few years - when first and second year students can't have cars on campus. There are LOTS of off-campus housing on the rail line with most of them having been built in the last few years.I'll actually be making a bunch of trips to NC as my son is headed to UNC Charlotte to play football.

I understand that a three day trip - wait a minute - wasn't there a three hour (day) tour and a boat and a guy named Gilligan?
Yessir, I think you are right. Three days might be pushing it with your wife riding shotgun. Still, the offer has to stand

Yeah! Good Deal.
I'll ride with you!I'll actually be making a bunch of trips to NC as my son is headed to UNC Charlotte to play football. However, I don't think the wife would like riding in this thing for the three days it would take to get there!
The back seat of a HET is built to carry four tank crew members, so there should be plenty of space for his wife to stretch out and get some beauty rest on the trip. There is also the matter of excess width permits for each state he is driving through, which is probably more of a barrier to long trips.Yessir, I think you are right.

Let me tell you one thing, that cab is WAY up there, and there would be damage if you fell out of it.
Fortunately, most of our driving will be in Texas, where the 102" width of the HET does not require a special permit.
Everywhere in North America 102in is legal limit. This is also on NN roads.. This does not include mirrorsFortunately, most of our driving will be in Texas, where the 102" width of the HET does not require a special permit.
Neat! Thanks for the info simp5782 .
