M 1061 5 ton GP trailer. 14 feet of deck. Deck height is 36 inches from ground to deck. Suspension like the deuce. Can be had for between $1500 and $2500 depending on condition and such.

Get out and pee every 100-200 miles as your bladder allows. Take some time to get the blood back into your legs from standing on the throttle pedal.:D Actually you have that problem more in the 5 ton. But your legs can cramp up. Just move them around or switch feet for a few miles if you have...

That's a good way to do it too but I prefer the gladhand because I don't have to have the cab door open while I'm filling tires or using the air line. Typically only an issue if it's cold, windy or wet....or D all of the above.:D But in all seriousness any way you can utilize the air system is...

And good use of the 5 gallon can to run her with. I have been known to do that from time to time.:beer:

:ditto: Dad bought an M220 and I liked it so much I am in the process of trying to buy an M211. It's not nearly as nice as that truck but keep your fingers crossed. I should know in a few days.

You are right. It's not magic.I have been through hundreds of carbs in my life. 1 bbl., 2 bbl., 4 bbl., Variable venturi, 2 singles, 3 singles, 6 singles, 8 singles etc. Mikuni to Rochester to Carter to Weber. Just about every combo of carb. The basic principles are the same. Once you break it...

These carbs are a little different than a 4bbl Holley but........the basic principles are the same. Diagnostics are taken on a system by system basis. Float system. Idle system. Mid range system. Wide open throttle system. Governor system. First we need to have adequate fuel delivery from the...

As you taught me Oldfart I put the cap on the filler, twist it till it passes the detent and then "rattle" it back and forth to know it's in the right spot. I can't tell you how many people have had vapor lock problems on their M-37's and this has reduced or fixed the problem. Secondly I...

Or you could be el cheapo like me and ratchet strap two cans onto the running board on the passenger side. Drove in and out of camp this year and did not lose the cans. They never moved. I have the metal strap and lock on the drivers side. Lock froze up this year and I spent 30 minutes and...

The first 4 are of the M-332 ammo trailer suspension. Then 2 of the M-105. Then 3 of the M-101 suspension for comparison.

:ditto: The 332's have a different frame bracket but still have the link rod like in the pic. The single axle van trailers have the turn down spring hanger brackets like in the pic. I have been toying with the idea of using the van trailer springs.......Looks like someone beat me to it. I...

Truck stops sell the glad hands by themselves for less than $10. You want the "red" glad hand that connects to the "emergency" air line on the truck. It is the full air pressure line. The "blue" or "yellow" line is the service line that sends air pressure to the trailer to activate the brakes...

I edited the last post to show some search stuff I found for plastic tanks. Seems like you would still be standing in the bed of the truck to fill it up though. I would not want to climb into the bed every time I had to fill up. Just sayin'. I would also hesitate to put the batteries in a...

I was gonna say......:ditto: But seriously there are a ton of different aftermarket tanks you can choose from. It depends alot on the size of the job box. Why install the tank in that box? How are you gonna fill it inside the job box? You gonna run troop seats and a bed cover? If so you are...

EDIT: Links dead Note the wheel well sticks out more on the A3 to cover the tire. This would be a better bed to use than the M-101, A1, A2.

Looks like a different M101 than what he's talking about earlier. I'll see if I can find a picture of the A3 bed.

Another option on the beach. Right Track Systems - Right Tracks of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada manufactures and distributes the best rubber track systems on the market today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZg5kwqF06k Note the fronts are dualed up and have the tracks.

OK. My 2cents on the subject. I have the 395's singled. I had NDT's dualled when I got the truck. At the time I switched we owned a sandy creek that ran about 2 feet of water in it. The banks were sand mixed with clay lumps and topsoil. I have run both setups in the sandy conditions. If I...

What do you use the truck for mostly? I like the 6-71 blower in one of the pics. Looks like you do some diesel work also.

Negative as to chaining up both rears. IF you do want to chain up one rear axle the chain had better not have any slack in it and I would check clearances before you needed to chain up for bad weather. It is better to install on a nice day and test drive in the dirt to know if it's a go or no...
