Not a mv item, still it's big. 1972 Plymouth Fury, non running. Rolls. Located in Fountain Colorado (80817) and going to Ky (40059) which is about 15 miles outside Louisville. It's currently sitting on a car trailer. I have one guy that can pick it up, IF he has a load going out there. If...

Has anyone done this or a similar transmission swap? Or seen it done before?

I love the old Mack

Often times, you will come out ahead shipping instead of driving (ok close enough for me anyways) . Most don't count the hotel rooms, true fuel cost, food, time off work. Then you have to rope in someone else into the adventure, unless you fly. Which lately has not been that cheap. This is all...

There is m35a2's still on the GL site, in pretty good numbers. I 've been bidding & watching , the trend is down on the A3s. A beautiful winch truck in Wi sold for 5250 (the tan one) last week. Most are a little over 4k, unless you bid on the ones in lower Ga. Under 4k many times.

I would like another 818, for a fun toy. As far as using it as a actual tractor, I would agree with the other posts. Third gear to fourth is a stretch. It does have power steering, which is good, but that's it. Many do not have a heater, which can be added. It's a primitive machine. A 916 would...

I found a thing that looks like a black wrist watch unused, still sealed in plastic. The tag says NSN:6665-01-043-2191 date looks like 11/90 & DT-236/pdr-75 Radiac Detector. Wrist watch radiation detector?

Nice Truck!

And then let them build air pressure.

What rpm is it turning at 50ish mph?

There is not enough room for a sleeper imo.

We are not talking about airplanes. Sure you could do it, you could raise more money & get it. Work, cut grass, sell firewood, clear snow, do handyman jobs. Do you know what the difference between a goal and a dream is? A goal has a timeline.

Is it a one key fits all, or is that the blank that has to be cut for each truck?

Plumbing stores (and even Home Depot) sell clamps that are used to hold pipes for gas lines and water lines (I am talking about clamps for your house) in place from sliding or moving. For example I have used them to keep a gas line from falling through a larger hole that was drilled in concrete...

Your fine.
