Tony, I am very interested. But Cali is too far. I could never afford the shipping.
Wreckerman, I would like ot know more. What part of Bama are you in?
Naw, that is not much at all. ;-)
Before I got into my current job over here I drove those trucks. I have also been behind two that got hit. The first one was a total loss but the driver survived. (Kind of). Once those tankers start burning, you do not have much time at all if any. I have photographs of some tankers that got...
Hey man, I am from Seffner and went to school at UT. I use to drive by Ybor all the time. I would like to know more about that truck if it is still there. I am not making any promises, but if it is for sale I might be interested. I bet they were using it to move all those houses in that area.
One more thing, Kawasaki also made models specificity for law enforcement agencies as well. From what O know they were called the Police model also based on the KLT250. I equally interested in locating one of them as well.
I found out the military bought and used Kawasaki three wheelers in the 80’s. I have heard they used specially built brackets and racks. I was told they were KLT 250’s. If there is truth to this, could some one please post confirmation and maybe even photographs? I am VERY interested in locating...
I have tracked several deuce tankers, and they went well beyond what the other deuces I bout sold for. But, I have to admit I did not think about just asking if any one has a take off tank. I was hoping to someday afford a deuce with the pump and tank still intact. I am sure shipping the tank...
For what I have in mind, this will be a under worked truck. If anything, it will have a very easy life. I am not going to be driving it down fire lanes to refuel a cabin in the woods. I think with a little thought and propper planning, I can even make it look as though it was biult that way...
If I can pick up a worn out M37 with no engine for a reasonable price. I think I can biuld it to not only look nice, but perfrom well on a small budget. I am thinking maybe a four cylinder Detroit to move it along.
If I were to do this with an M37 the only driving I would do is into town to pick up the fuel, then back home. That is it. The tank on the truck will then be use to store the fuel. Once it is empty, back to town I go. That is the same plan I had if I got a deuce tanker. The only difference is...
My original thought was to locate a M37 tanker if they existed. I figured if they came with a dump bed Maybe they came with a tank as well. I know it was a shot in the dark, but it does not hurt to ask. Plus, I never said I would cut one up. I would never do that. I am mostly looking for an...
