The M34 you see in my avatar I did in 1999 or 2000. Sent it off to Ogden in about 2004 or so. Went to the museum there. The truck had been a WY wildfire tanker and was kept inside for many years. Absolutely not a spec of rust on it.
Hey!!! He is one very nice uncle person. I did not know the truck was a secret. Anyway sounds like there is a pole barn in your immediate future. Just remember to make the door/ceiling at least 12 foot. Mine is only a 10 footer and it causes me a lot of pain to let my M8109 sit outside all...
Here are the measurements you wanted. The measurement from the top of the window to the ceiling was made 4 inches out from the wall. The top is curved so it is hard to get a measurement that is correct all the way across the top. The difference between the measurements I have given and the 90...
Just remembered. The inner front windshield in the REO's are 30 inches wide. And the GMC's windshields are 36 inches wide. That makes the GMC one foot wider in the cab than the REO. So you should have one more foot for use as a door to the back of the box. That should make a nice little...
I thought about making a small door/opening between the cab and the box. I have spring ride seats in my truck so I would have a little bit of room to do it. And then putting a boot between the cab and box. Seeing how you have kids they could move around more if need be. And the mother bear...
Dan I would reverse the location of your sink and fridge. That way you can reach in and get a can of pop out of the fridge without having to get the ladder down every time you want in the fridge. Will you have it in a workable condition when you come out this simmer. We can make a trip to WY if...
Just got back from a late lunch. Recovery was about 120 mile one. The truck is a very good unit. Runs well and is very tight with no slop at all in the drive train. It is a keeper. No problems at all just a slow drive home. It will drive the 700 miles to Wisconsin with no problem I am sure. Not...
Did you get this one Dan? The HF gun I have like that has painted many a truck. I bought a spare last summer cause I figured the old one would die soon. But it is still going. For $49 you cannot go wrong. Way good enough for an occasional user. By the way with that gun I use a gallon less...
I believe the old boy selling the truck is a mechanic at the local GM dealership. He keeps the truck there I think. Hence the nice shop/building. But yes we all could use a building like that. I bet the GM connection is one of the reasons the truck is in such good shape .
Dan the recovery is set for next Tuesday the 6th. Weather permitting. Will drive it to my place until you can fetch it. There are 3 folks along the way that have OD trucks and they are alerted so were we to have any trouble we are ready for any problems. Two of the guys have large service...
