    No wench trucks here for $1500. You was gonna pay about $2500.

    Been lurking long enough....HI!

    There were a few less than that when I was there. I think maybe the total is around a hundred. Could be less. I think this might spell the end for Deuces in Iowa, unless someone else has a large turn in.

    I was there Thursday. There were maybe a hundred trucks left. Scott said it was "empty."

    I'm in the waterloo area. I hope to be getting my EUC this coming week and picking my truck and genset up. Congratulations

    What did everyone get from Redstone today?

    If the price of the trucks is 1 1/2 times that or double without that persons bid, then it's a moot point. Does anyone really think 200 trucks were going to go for 975$ ? If they were, I'd have bid them up and won a few.

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    Good point. You are really only trying to make it harder to get. The starter would probably be a good one.

    Don't Run into Rocks

    I'd venture to say, they are probably stronger than the rivets.

    Anti-Theft System Suggestions?

    It depends on how secure you want. Nothing is going to stop a pro, or someone that really wants it. For the casual thief, or person of opportunity, just put a keyed switch on the starter button, or under the hood or body, you could key the fuel pump.

    What did everyone get from Redstone today?

    Like Dug say, for most of us, it's not a need, it's a want. And for the price, it's sure a heck of a lot cheaper than buying the new 3/4 ton ton I want, but don't need since I already have one. Zoning restrictions? Most places it's licensed like a regular motor vehicle, no restrictions there...

    Don't Run into Rocks

    Grade 8 they are.

    Don't Run into Rocks

    They look like grade 8. Count the ticks. Grade 8 = 6 ticks.

    Don't Run into Rocks

    Look like grade 8 to me. It's hard but you can just see 6 ticks. Look at the top right bolt. A grade 5 wont have two ticks opposite each other.

    Minimum CFM requirement for brakes

    Where am I going to get 12v from? I'd have to rig a switch and run it off one battery. Gladhand goes on in a few seconds.

    New Steering Box or Not?

    Sure sounds like the gears are trying to climb each other.

    What did everyone get from Redstone today?

    My take is, for the price they are going for, where on earth are you going to get such a heavy, overly simplified, durable and reliable truck as cheaply? OK compressors not included. For $1600 I got a truck that's rust free, solid, new cargo cover, troop seats, spring front seat, heater, hard...

    I thought it was always "you do first, I'll follow?"

    How was listeneing to the buzzer? How does anyone else feel about this? I'd certainly do it if it was safe enough.

    Minimum CFM requirement for brakes

    I dont have a diagram of the air system handy at the moment, so can anyone say if there are any check valves between the glad hands and the reserviors that would prevent using them to hook the air up to. Otherwise, I need to find another location.

    Minimum CFM requirement for brakes

    Either way, a gasoline engine is going to be involved. I can run a generator with a small compressor, or a gas driven compressor. It's only going to run for 4 hours or so.
