Here's some pix - if interested, let me know. jim

The guy's name is Todd. He told ME that he would crate and palletize the fuel tank and ship it from his commercial address so I could get a cheaper rate. I think HE doesn't want to deal with all the shipping company BS. So if you have a shipper you normally use, he seems willing to make it...

Mike, New Suffolk, NY. I should have exact info shortly. He was the guy on ebay that was selling a deuce drive train. I contacted him and asked what else he had. That's when he told me the 'three deuces' story. I sent him my phone number and we talked Saturday. He sent me his phone number...

OK, I'll bite. WHY is it impossible to ship?? Because it's a used fuel tank? Cr@p. How do I get it from there to here??

First, what is RAIL FANNING? Second, if you look closely, all of these vehicles, including the trailers, have good rubber on them. Probably NG stuff. But you never know... Kewl pix BTW...

I am about to purchase a complete fuel tank pulled off a running deuce with all mounting hardware for $200. He has three deuces. Two run, one does not. They have been 'farm trucks' apparently for a long time. The sheet metal is worthless, but he will be selling the mechanicals, etc. He...

Private seller? MV dealer? Government Liquidation? It does make a difference.

Only because NO ONE mentioned it. MONEY!

What do they cost and where can I get one?

YUP. How VERY BOTTOM? LA? SD? TJ??

TWO spare tires and the ability to change them. For ME at least, that means a 20 ton air/hydraulic bottle jack, 6 ton jack stands, a 24v 3/4 inch impact wrench, air hose (just got one that attaches to glad hand), another air hose to attach to the bottle jack (my truck has an NPT quick...

Gary , Once again, I have just learned HUGE amounts of info. Almost ALL of it I didn't know. Though I DID recognize the name 'Earl Scheib' and I remember his paint shops... Thanks for putting such information down for those of us who don't know about it. jim

Bjorn, Well, I dug through my notes and found the following. Memphis - Front guide $17.90 - Rear guide $16.75 Clark - Front guide $25.00 - Rear guide $20.00 That was last week sometime. Hope it helps. If you want, I'll talk to the guys at Active Truck parts about a door for you. But...

Bjorn, What is wrong with the doors, other than the two guides? I called either Saturn or Clark (memory going slowly) and it was about $40 per door. Don't know what a replacement door would cost. When looking for new wheels a place here in Colorado had two five ton cabs on their lot. I think...

Kenny, Paint the frame. THEN decide if you want the engine to match or not. I know, it's a cop out answer, but only YOU should decide which color looks best. Take pictures, pictures, pictures... Cause we ALL want to know how it's goin'. jim

gasser, Here's one on ebay for 6.2 diesel. Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not, but saw it while perusing Military stuff on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8034267805&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 At $258 (includes s&h) it IS pricey...

M1075, BOY am I GLAD that you didn't post those earlier. I would have been very interested. But as I now have four 27580R22.5's I don't think those would work. TO EVERYONE, I understand that if I want to go super singles, I should flip the rear hubs so that the track matches front to rear. I...

You folks are the best. Honest. Sharing knowledge like this is WHY I come here every day. That and I don't actually have a real life, so I can 'hang out' with people of like interests without ever leaving the comfort of my home. THX for giving people like me a place to just hang out. jim

I WILL be documenting the whole process from start to finish. From what the truck looked like before. What the hub flip process is like (X4) and what the final look of the truck is after it is sitting on it's super singles. I don't really know about how much snow it will take. I'm doing this...

LAX, I am in the process of doing just this. I got lucky on ebay last week. I picked up four 6 lug BUDD wheels with brand new Michelin XDY-1 retreads for $405 locally. Active Truck Parts in Hudson, Colorado is going to sell me four more 6 lug BUDD wheels for $75 each. Finally, one of our...
