    Pick-up help or info, Ft. Bragg

    The GL guy I have dealt with at Bragg is named Eddie and he he very helpful and accomodating. I am not as thrilled with gate security. Once they let me in with a farm trailer with no tag and the next time they told me no way. That was 130 miles wasted. If they had told me the first time I...

    New 37

    RE: now I know I can't remember what came off which one but if I hadn't run out of time I would have picked them clean. The other two would have been a great project and I wondered if I should have picked one of those B1 models. I wasn't sure if the engine and trans were the same so I went for...

    Can a 5 ton cargo convert to tractor?

    I see a 5 ton cargo truck up for sale but want a 5th wheel tractor. I can do the conversion of cargo bed to 5th wheel but don't know how to supply air brakes to the trailer. Is this an easy add on or more trouble than its worth? My hunch is that I should just wait for a tractor.
