    Best/handiest piece of equipment I have ever had!

    m812 head board dimensions?

    Too bad you are so far, I might have some bridge truck specific parts you could use, including the headache rack.

    Those are good looking trucks! Thanks for posting the picture. Would you please take a few minutes and share your experiences and tips while answering the questions you had in the original post? That way, someone else can learn as well.

    M936 Commercial Insurance and tags?? (I have searched)

    The high cost is due to the high liability. Commercial towing insurance is not cheap and cannot be comapred with collectors insurance on a deuce.

    government liquidation question

    Good story! I have needed to get creative on a few recoveries myself.

    I can provide power steering CHEAP & RELIABLE

    As you can see, there would be a lot of interest! I just don't think you can pull it off as you say. If you do, I'll buy plenty of kits!

    Can an M923 pull this?

    The M923 can pull it sideways! The bigger question is can you handle driving a M923 for a rigorous 6 month tour? No creature comforts here. No passenger or cell phone conversations. Twice the fuel? For a novelty I think it would be fine for local, close to home events. Long distance or...

    Proper tires for M916A2 Frieghtliner

    You probably have a M915A2 or M915A4, a basic road tractor. All M916s have winches behind the cab. None of them are referred to as "5 tons". If you want the biggest and baddest tires on a M916, you need to step up to 16R20. If you have a M915 model you may want to try 395 tires. I have some of...

    Flat towing M923

    Speed will be based upon the road and traffic conditions. On level ground, you may be able to sustain 55 or 60 mph. That is way fast, though, if something goes wrong!

    Flat towing M923

    There is no way I would fabricate a tow-bar for use with a five ton. I have only ever seen one homemade bar that looked up to the job and was as good or better than the mil-spec one.

    Proper tires for M916A2 Frieghtliner

    I would switch those wimpy tires/wheels out for some 16.00R20. :grd:

    The tow bar looks adequate, what is the two vehicle?

    Good bye John. Thanks for all you have done for our hobby.

    ranch truck

    We dropped the back for marketability purposes. A 4x4 deuce is much easier for the average guy to visualize & accept as a pickup replacement. Even though a 6x6 provides much more cabpability & capacity, the extra axle scares off a lot of people. Our next build will be a standard configuration...

    Here are some other ranch trucks I got "inspiration" from.

    ranch truck

    We built the Rangemaster last year and it has been on the trade show circuit. We dropped the rear-axle, added a Butler hay bed and 3C cube feeder. Other add-ons include rear detroit locker, front lockout hubs and 100 AMP 12V system. It is almost ready for work, we are working one last...

    Role reversal

    Great pics, bummer story. The truck only made it 4 miles on the new journey? I guess that is better than 400 miles. I can't believe it has been six years!
