Hi Henry, We live in Floyd, so we're really close! I'm very happy to know there's another crazy guy like me around these mountains. Give me a shout if I can ever be a help to you.

I recently won a 5 ton from GL in Indy. I had Mr. Bob Rainville check it over and sell me a few nice accessories while I was there. #1- I completely and wholeheartedly recommend anyone who buys from Indy to pay Mr. Bob to have a look, and enlist his help!!! #2- these old trucks are fantastic in...

Bob was happy to hear from you Mark. He said to hi you back. BTW, my truck checked out great with the exception of missing tail lamps, one headlamp, low coolant and black oil. Not too shabby!

Called Mr. Bob and he's looking at it for me today. Thanks VERY much for the reference! Outstanding help Sir. I'll tell him you said hello when he calls me back with the details.

Perfect, thanks. Understand the gravity of taking care of all the details. Called Mr. Bob just now, and he's laying eyes on it for me today. I don't plan on going too fast, too quick once on the road. Any idea what the fuel MPG should be? Top speed is probably less than 60MPH I'm guessing.

I looked for the TM for it, but wasn't able to find anything that pertained to my 923A2. I'll look a little harder today to find and down load it to my Toughbook. I do have a CDl and will pre-trip it to death! Thanks for the help Sir!

I have a heavy haul lowboy on standby if needed. Not sure about legalities? He can haul up to 60k lbs with no permit, but I'm hoping it's close to roadworthy. Taking my father in-law as backup with a trusted vehicle if we need to park and run for something.

Strong back and weak mind- no problem!

The tires were up and they looked almost new. The canvas is on it, so I don't know if there's a spare in the back or not. Hoping there is one! Thanks for the encouragement. Any idea what fuel economy to expect? I'm hoping for at least 6.5 mpg..

Truck is in Indy, I'm in central VA. I have tools and a lot of mechanical experience (30 years as an auto tech). I saw it run and move, but that guarantees nothing, I know. Should I take batteries? Are they the group 31's? What else should I plan on bringing for this trip? Any help or advise...
