2 years ago? dang ! would I like to have that Silver Mog with the black bed and snowplow

Here's the pattern I run during the winter months. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/46633-9-00-x-20-snow-tread.html?highlight=grooving

sounds like you bought yourself an 'Ideal'...I had the same problem. I got my hands on a 'Rillfit' groover, cut like butter !

"La France" ? "Hybrid" ? It's an RO, built by Roy Oliver Pittman ( Kansas? ) from top to bottom with an integral boom/frame according to the guy interested in trading his 5t for it. He claims it was the best line truck made in it's day. It's all new to me...if it was four wheel drive I...

It is a funny duck. I struck a deal, got 'er running and drove it home...now to trade it off for a MV

I can't relocate my exhaust ? WT*....hope he doesn't notice I relocated an axle !

I just want that WARP SPEED button!

here they are.....

I went on a goose chase today after a "5 ton Military crane". Well, it wasn't even close. It's definitely not Military and it's only two wheel drive. The only name on the thing is "RO" and it's got a mid engine Detroit Diesel V6 in it. Can I post pictures to see if any of you wrecker / boom...

I say GO FOR IT ! How hard can it be.

What did you do for rear springs ?

I think your right

In the early eighties I had a bare bones and totally stock 1962 404. It was amazing off road and would pretty much go anywhere you pointed it. After owning it for several years and several repairs, I decided it fell into the ' Tank, Airplane, Boat and Motor home ' category...it's best when...

curious. why is that?

I had the springs rebuilt with 2 1/2 inches more arch. It's about all you can go without longer main leafs. I'm running 14 leafs in the front and 12 in the rear.

...here's a picture.
