Here in PA, some of the signs say "All truck over 10,000 GVW" stop.
Some just say "weigh station open" and "all trucks next right"
When it says all trucks and I'm in the Silverado, I don't stop. :D
Should it really say "all commercial vehicles over 10,000 gvw stop"?
I spent much time today at local Communist Party Headquarters (the auto tag place)
trying to register my truck.
After several trips and false starts, there is actually paperwork on the way to Harrisburg.
It seems that the trouble started with the previous owners' attempts to get around the GVW...
Just one......
As far as I know......
I own the truck DirtMerchant used to own.
I wish I could speak German, it seems to be a prerequisite to find parts!!!
Along these same lines, I suggest that we all send registered letters to the IRS informing them that we have changed the status of our income from "taxable" to "non-taxable", and give them 19 days to return our money.
Think it''ll work????
Did you sign something in which you agreed to return an item that they reclassified??
Is this really enforceable??
I'm sorry, your honor, it was a long time ago and I have no idea what it is, or where it is.
This sounds pretty ridiculous.
In Radnor, Pa, one time I was rear ended, and a passerby...
Shelter to fit 5 ton bed??
Which shelters are designed to fit in the 5 ton cargo bed??
And how are they designed to tie down?
I would like to find one.
I think that when the bed was installed on the IFA it was shortened a bit, too, so I'll have to check that out.
What is the bed supposed to...
I posted some pics under the trailers forum, but I'll put one here too.
The truck was missing the ignition switch when I got it. (previous owner lost the key), so the first project is to fix that. The "apply red wire to terminal" starting procedure is substandard.
My father is an EE, so we...
Picked up the 105 today, with my son.
Had a great time. Security was almost nonexistent, after all the stuff on the GLwebsite, it makes you think that you'll have to endure 4 hour long lines and full body cavity searches.
Saw a bunch of the usual suspects there too, loading up tractor trailers...
OK, I have a quick one to post that I took the other day.
I'm certain that I'll have more as the project evolves........ they're all projects.
I started off with a '63 M37, but it wasn't really big enough to crush cars reliably. The solution was obvious.......
I bought the IFA .
Now I start the treasure hunt.
I traced the roots of the IFA back to the US Military, who apparently brought it to the USA to put out in a field and let soldiers glass it.
They were supposed to learn to identify enemy vehicles.
Then it was surplused out to the Forest Service...
I bought a 105 out of Mechanicsburg, PA on Gl.
What size pintle do I need to hook this up??
Does anyone have experience picking these up?
I do not have a deuce, so I won't have lights or brakes for the two hr ride home.
What are the chances law enforcement is going to hassle me??
Thanks,
Brent
