    Quarter fenders and ramps are the most difficult stuff to find. 5th wheels are easy and porch stuff just diamond plate. The correct pogo stick was a pita for me to find but stuff that looks right is plentiful. Cool tidbit of info. Your trolley brake will brake trailers towed from the pintle...

    I don't know Scott, that bed looks mighty good on the truck. I'd ride it for a spell. I loved my 275 but often wished it had a bed. As far as bridge trucks, they are super cool. Beefy looking.

    The tractor tank is the same capacity as the rest of the tanks, just longer and thinner. Changing the in tank pump can be a pain. I've owned an M275 and an M275A2. I put well over 15,000 miles on the A2. Cool truck. Some days I wish I had kept it.
