On 4/28/07 swung over to see DMA251 newest truck HEMMT.He has some work to do, but have no fear, it's going to look great when done! Great running Detroit 8V92. Needs a few things , Damon is up to it. He did all that work on his 5 Ton. Let's wait for the results! [thumbzup] OSO

How is this to start? We just unloaded on Saturday - All I've had the time to do yet is pull the crumpled right fender and spare time carrier. I've dropped the windshields and rear windows off at the glass shop to have new ones made. I'm making the rear windows in smoked safety glass. The front windshields are just standard green tinted laminated safety glass.

I've got the front skidpalte and grill at a local fab shop being straightened (they are dented in at the top) and the left front fender is going to the same shop to be used as a pattern for two new replacement front fenders.

I've ordered a pressure sandblaster and will begin blasting the cab as soon as my 5-ton sells and I buy a new RV garage in the next month or so.

The truck runs sweet, though. I can't stop driving it around the neighborhood! Does anyone have any idea where I can find an aircleaner lid and some headlight buckets/retainer rings?

take pictures with the roll film camera and when you get them developed, tell them you want em on CD. Put CD into your computer and upload pics and post em!!

Here's a couple more - the two women are the truck drivers. The little one busted open all the binders and whipped that brand new Volvo into my tight little neighborhood. She was the 20 ear old daughter of the owner of the HEMTT. The other gal was an employee of his learning to drive trucks. Really nice folks.

By the way - I got a call from the owner saying he had gotten a call from one of the other bidders on Ebay saying he would give me $5000 more then I paid for it if I would sell it to him... Swear to god it's true.....
