M812 I own an M812 and the widest part is the truck deck. The only wheel spacers are on the front,the wheels are wider for the 14-20 tires so that is where you get the wider rear width. They also have longer wishbones and different width rear axles. I do not remember the rear tire outside to...

Sounds like you have things covered but if not we have 2 M818s at our farm in Devils Lake,North Dakota if you want us to check on anything.

We have an M812 and the rear axles and dogbones are different but the front appears to be a standard 5 ton with wheel spacers. The local camp is scrapping 4 900 series bridge trucks but they use full air brakes instead of air/hyd.

We had 3 M172A1 trailers, 2 with 10x15 tires and 1 with 11x15 tires found 2 different wheel widths. One we will leave the 10.15s on but have a set of 8.25x15s we might try if they will fit on the wheels. Also have extra ramps but they are really heavy and have considered making a copy with...

firearms Canadian Firearms Centre 1-800-732-4000 or 506-624-5380 or their website www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca. should answer everyone's gun questions. I used to carry a folding stock 12 ga. in the aircraft and trucks but sometimes the b.s. at customs was not worth it. I am a NRA life member and...

Fuel On our 35 ft. moving trucks that I roundtrip North Dakota to Alaska I have installed frame mounted gravity feed 60 to 70 gallon bus tanks to increase my range. When I worked in North Dakota/Montana oilfields and wanted to go nonstop from western Montana to NODAK with my V8 CJ5 I had a M100...

I have made 6 round trips from Juneau,AK- Whitehorse,Yukon to Devils Lake, North Dakota in the last 3 years with an F600, a F8000 and a Dodge pickup all pulling trailers and the main thing is fuel cost in the north country and weather if you are nuts enough to do a winter drive like I did twice...
