Count me in, sounds dangerous. Happy New Year to all.

Wow, things have changed.... Ive been wrapped around the axle and have not been logged on for a while. So far it looks good. I'll do a little familiazation training......

Can't answer that, all my trucks are stock. Lot of fabricators on this site. Some one may jump in..

Just get a 5 ton and put it on super singles, poof, you have a monster truck that will pull a house off a foundation. Go with the NHC 250 Cummins engine. 855 cu. in 6 cylinder. There's no replacement for displacement.

Scotch blocks= wheel chocks, got it. Never heard that term. You'll need a pair of them for parking the truck. Parking brake works well when properly adjusted. Can't trust other people, chock it when parked.

I can ship via Frieght, still have the long pallet they came on. I'll goole scotch blocks.

The truck is still very heavy. Mine is still on the original 11x20 G177s. They ride great on the road. The spring here was a swampy muddy mess also. The 936 was parked under an equipment shed and still sank 10 inches just sitting because of all the moisture in the ground. If you utilize the...

Not now, sounds like you have it covered. Your work and farming experience gives you a lot of experience, hopefully all safe. Lots of folks procure these trucks and have little or zero experience on anything larger that a riding mowing, then someone gets hurt. I just retired from 40+ years in...

Fluffy; that has a ring to it....nice truck. The M936 is handier that a two-perkered billy goat. Source the operating manual for the series of truck. A lot of good info to understand before you operate it. That thing can can kill you if not operated properly. -then it would be called "bad Fluffy".

That's correct. 5 ton frames are much heavier, larger channels. I dont have the dims handy but I have two trucks parked at the shop that I can measure.

Wayne, welcome from Kentucky. Trucks and firearms and living in Hawaii, what more could someone ask for. -we love photos... JC

Yes indeed, a very nice collection of MVs. Great detail. An M35 needs to be next.

-or a mechanics remote start tool/switch.

Sounds like you have a project... nights and weekends. Pretty strait forward GM stuff. Any history of the prior work accomplished? If not, start with some known serviceable parts and put it together. It might take it to be assembled to figure out what needs to be addressed to get it road worthy.
