    P11 plymouth staff car

    Found a 1941 Plymouth 4 door years ago and put in the back of the barn to "age". Always wanted a staff car, and finally took a break from the big truck projects to figure out how to do the job. Took about 2 years to get it done but was great fun to bring it to an antique car show this past...

    Loading up

    Been lots of great discussion about prime movers and trailers needed in moving heavier rigs. Loading itself is quite the adventure and the end result needs to be safe but also "Look Good" out on the road. Some shots from last weekend at the Vermont show. Started here with a light Stuart -...

    M916A1 Tire Trials

    Tire choice discussions seem to run through many of the larger truck threads and the 916A1 is no exception. The difference is there seem to be no defenders of the original issue rubber on Freightliners with their highway style tread. The one that I picked up from GL, for no apparent reason, had...

Then recalling the times self recovery was needed for my 5 ton gas tractor the answer...

    Cool Freightliner

    What better time than this old time winter to hunker down in the shop, wood stove going, and work on an A/C installation. After my first summer with a M916A1 and frequent envious glances at the descriptions of the $ unobtainable A2 and A3 versions with A/C, I started to look at the options...

    M916A1 Keys To The Highway

    So the key I got with this wonderful Freightliner M916A1 does not encourage you to want to ever turn it off. Lots of jiggling and #%$@* to get it to turn the switch and clearly is only close to what is needed. Before taking the cylinder out for cutting one to match I remembered that all the...

    M916A1 question

    Hi All, New to SS but not to the MV world. Very impressed with the knowledge base and the insightful comments found here and hope to contribute in the future. Could use a some information- I'm planning to give a little rest now and then to my hard working 5 ton tractor, an M52 gasser (pix...
