Thanks for your opinion. I am surprised at how heavy it is, that would definatly change my plan to retrieve it if it works out. I think my trailer is only good for 7000. I have seem a thread where someone was going to convert to diesel with a newer cummins. Thanks again!
What are the downsides? Some of the research i have done talks about front axle issues. I know the 318 was a good motor. Doesn't it have the same body as the 1031?
Thanks for the info. Hey MatthewH, How do you like the M887? thats the truck I am looking into getting. Have always wanted a m1031 but they are just too expensive.

Thanks to all the suggestions I received, I was able to find a construction hauler to move the duece for me at about a third of the price of the local towing outfits. Thanks, John
Thanks for the advice, I can say that I have been reading the posts on SS and have taken to heart the bad experiences of others. This is why I am going to have it trailered. I did drive the truck around the neighborhood and the brakes were ok, this is before the air leak was noticed. The person...
I need a suggestion or recommendation for a trucker that would move a duece about 90 miles in northern IL. It would have to be moved on a trailer due to badly checked tires, a hole in one of the air tanks, and an unknown maintenance history. It does run and drive so it does not need to be...
Just wondering if you know, best case, how long before the plate would be a reality? I'm working on buying a duece and will wait for these plates before buying AV plates.
Thanks, John
