Lookin' Good, Derrick! Yup - we kind of missed you there - you could have come without the truck.....we would have only razzed you a little bit (just kidding - stuff takes time and you are doing it right!). That's a great way to swap out tops! Just make sure to have it done for TACOM and the...

Hey there Logistics! The only thing I know of specifically regarding the LVS version of the Detroit is that one just sold on GL not too long ago (probably within a month) that was specifically for the LVS. It was a sweet looking, basically brand new rebuilt engine (I would have to guess that...

The meet and greet is Monday at 7:00pm at Jimmy John's in the strip mall on the east side of M-52 (north of I-94) just south of Old US-12 (Jackson Rd.). I believe that the entrance to the portion of the lot intended for the Jimmy John's section of the strip mall is oposite of the Bowling Alley...

That's very, very sweet lookin there Derrick! (If you missed it.....Drewel, Drewel). That truck is going to be awesome with the tan paint and seats and black floor. There is that guy out in California who rebuilds/sells a lot of trucks on e-bay. I always did like the black grill/black...

Good to know, Derrick. Didn't think about checking out Tractor Supply for the stuff. Does it seem to be somewhat as tough as "Rhinoliner" when it dries? I checked with a shop that does the rhinoliner and they get around $8.00 per square foot to prep and apply the "real stuff". The only way I...

Hey Derrick! Good news on the SF97 and good to hear that you are going to try to make it to the Warren Show in July. The Herculiner looks good. Is this the brush/roll-on stuff? Where did you end up getting it? I know that there is some spray-on stuff, but it isn't as tough as I would like it...

Nice goin', Derrick! Glad she is coming along. I think you are making better progress than I am lately! Are you planning on bringing one of the 900's to Warren in July? Are you taking anything to a Memorial Day Parade/Event this weekend? Taking the M1074 in to Chelsea on Monday for the...

I think that the most honest thing that has been said here yet is that THERE SHOULD BE NO PENALTY FOR BEING A MODERATOR/ADMINISTRATOR - I mean really, do you think that SS is going to be lucky enough to find people who (A) are as skilled and competant as our "staff" is and (B) are willing to put...

Hey Bigmellon - Sounds like you have a decent runner! Can you get this together and roadable before the Veterans Weekend Show in Warren, MI the last weekend in July? Its in conjunction with the 70'th anniversary of TACOM. Show is FREE (except for diesel for the trip!) for everyone except...

Hey guys - Yup, I looked at that trans (internet look) and I think the pto access plate is in a different location than that on my M985 which is at about 10:00 from the rear (driver's upper quadrant). Probably right about it for a 911.

Excellent design and application! Simple, Quick, Useful, Time Saving, and such a Safety Aid! This would also make it a little more feasible for junior or another onlooker at a show or something who might want to check out sitting in the operators station (obviously, still with due caution - but...

Wow Derrick - You sure are sinking your teeth into this one!! Very cool. When I was jumping on US-23 northbound off of washtenaw ave. out of ann arbor/ypsi, I merged into the back of a military convoy going north. Very cool rigs. Very new looking HEMTT Wrecker and some very interesting...

Hey Jesse, Sounds like it might be the same. Time will tell. I do know that the PLS uses (used) the electronic version of the Detroit Diesel 8V92TA (they were able to get it up to 500 HP by doing so and probably saved a few drops of fuel). Very possible that when they designed all of the...

Hey Guys - First, the (3) "hatches" are just very shallow storage bins for straps/binders/etc. I wasn't sure myself until I got on top of the one on the truck. Thought one or more of them might have been access panels for some mystery container or what-not. But no, nothing that mysterious...

Hey Don! By the way, got an e-mail letter from the Ypsi Club for the show. They wanted to thank everyone for bringing out the "big trucks". They said they were a big hit and brought back a lot of memories for the Vets. So, CUDO's to you and Mark for all of your hard work making the trip and...

Finishing the Lift and Setting the Flatrack Down. Wife had gotten home by now and she took over taking pictures! What a gal!

Loading Flatrack Raising "Grapple Hook", Backing up to Flatrack, and Starting the Lift.

Loading the PLS Flatrack! Well, finally made the time/got up the courage to see if the PLS Load Handler is operational. Had the Flatracks stored on a trailer that I am going to need for a job in a couple of days - so no better time or reason! Not a lot of pictures of the actual lift off of the...

Pictures at the Salute to the Vets Just wanted to add some pictures of the PLS at the Ypsilanti Street Rod Club's "Salute to the Vets" Show that they had at Riverside Park, Ypsilanti, MI a couple of weekends ago. Great time had by all! Dave.

Anybody in the area, this was a really nice show. I don't think that it was in conflict with too many other events. This is an anual event, so if anybody wants to pencil it in for next year, I know that I am sure going to try to be there. Dave
