I didn't see any HETS in the background. ;-)

No problem. I edited my previous post to eliminate the potential for any confusion. :-D

Jason, I sent you a PM about the rally. When you get a chance, please review it and respond. Thanks!

I've got two new ones on the shelf if you need some in a hurry.

Isn't the site's policy to suppress discussions on upcoming auctions a form of buyer collusion? After all, if the intent is to "keep prices low" then that is illegal. I would prefer open discussions on everything and high bid wins, like it should be.

Jeff, depending on your what your tag vehicle is, you might want to consider fabbing up some mudflaps for the M818. I know a quarter size rock took out my headlight in my M1009 once.

I helped Bow-Man pick up his Fox last year. It is sweet.

If you got it for "a song", then I don't understand why you would need to sell it. It is not like you have a lot of $$$ tied up in it. Tell you wife to sell some of her shoes or something! Selling off MVs for cash flow purposes should come as a last resort. :-D

Wow, that truck looks sharp! Not sure about those white wheels, though. Did you ever consider black wheels? Here are some pics of my M919. The mixer was pulled off to make way for a 2500 gallon M978 tank to haul water. New paint is forthcoming.

Ok, that makes more sense. I would evaluate what road speed you wish to operate at and then work with one of the online calcuators to find the best option for your intended application. The stock gears and stock tires are fine in both the M1008 and M1009 for their intended use. Your intended...

I think the safest tire size would be the stock size.

Axles are 6.17:1, single speed, 75000 GVW, true air brakes

What size are you looking for? 11R20, 12.5R20, 14.5R20, 15.5R20, 14R20, 16R20?

Oh yeah, the M345 is too cool! One of my biggest regrets is not buying one when I had the chance.

I would like to go, depending on the date. We can try and get a convoy up from OKC.

The issue is not that it would be top heavy. The deck height will cause serious challenges in getting vehicles loaded and unloaded. The trailer is overkill for the deuce (or the car you load on it).

The 5 ton flatbed trailers are not going to be suitable as a car hauler. Too heavy and too high (like most military trailers). You probably should be looking for a civilian car hauler trailer.

Yes, outstanding work! I would love to have a nice model like that M1074 to sit on my desk and appreciate all through the work day (truck looks to be M1075 though, not M1074).

Several of us looked those trucks over today. Tackettr had some good notes and might be able to help you. Unless this is one with oil in the radiator, I expect you could jump it and be on your way.

Are the wheels designed for MPT tires or the standard bead tires? That could be the problem.
