RE: 8x8 for Ron
Awright youse guys. Why do I feel that pretty soon the baby HEMTT is going to have big brothers to contend with?
We've got a PLS in town. 10X10 with 1st, 2nd and 5th axles steering. These things are getting big enough to need a name on the stern and signal flags.

Good job !!
Congrats on that beast! I am glad that you purchased it and are going to save it. I was making arrangements to buy it after spotting it at 5 Am the day he listed it. Hell there was 4 thousand dollars worth of rims and tires on that beast. I talked to some of my M buddys that have the bigger stuff and they were thinking about it. It would make a great show piece for our museum or any museum for that matter.
Please keep me posted on your progress and if I can help in anyway I will.
There was about 15 brand new beds(I think off of HEMMIT's) that would have worked on it at Government Liquidation. They were 20' long and brand new. They sold for about $1500.00
It was a good price and once again keep us posted...

Re: RE: 8x8 for Ron
Estimated weight per winch 2000lb. Can email some photos if interested. We have a local truck line that delivers JD tractors nationwide. These will normally haul whatever we want that will fit on the front deck for about $500.
On M911 rcvd for our Fire Dept (tanker project). The others we sold for $2000 with a winch hydraulic control and hoses (control to winch). New lines always a good thing to think about as these have been in the weather for 28years. Left or right side winch available. If you want both we will include the operator control "console" which has both controls. Truck only has 8200mi and winch look to be in good condition.73m819 said:

Man i love K100's! That is just about the meanest looking K100 I've ever seen. Most of the K100's you see any more are only 4x2 hot-shot/b-train tractors!!

So Ron, any update on this project? Just saw a pic of the original test truck in one of David Doyle's articles, had a 813 cargo bed on the back. Just drooling over your cool toy!
