a, cant get 1200 at a fair pice, b, if i tear up a 1200, ill have to get another new one, c, a better ride and road grip with the Rs then the military1400s off a bridge truck. though that may all change as i have found out nothing is set in stone, military tread 1400s may go on, if the price is good though i realy want the 1400Rs

There are bridge trucks at Shirley's Surplus in Barnesville, Ga, but they are complete trucks, so I do not know if he will want to sell individual components off of them. They are totally complete, it's a real shame he'd want about $12 million for a complete truck. But he definitely has the spacers.

Ron, theres two bridge trucks in the scrap yard where I got your bumper. All axles are still complete on both of them.

I'm pretty sure Howard Hammond's junkyard had a dozen or more bridge trucks. Maybe hookin1 or eddiec can say for certain.
edit: ( now that I am thinking more about it, . . . I seem to remember them on both sides of the road - two different fields)

Has anyone recognized that there isn't many of the "stake-body" bridge trucks around?? Thats the body I have on mine, and i've only seen two other's online ever. I guess that could be good...or bad?? And the flat bed weighs in at 7800 lbs!! It's huge!!

I like yours better Steve. The 800 series is the 821. They are plum cool and I hope to one day have one.

Are you going to use duals on the rear? If not, you shouldn't need rear spacers. What wheels are you using? The front spacers were necessary for the use of the really deep dish bridge truck wheels on the front, and if you are using two piece "combat" wheels, you should not need that front spacers. Look at the picture of our water truck which was a bridge truck prior to installing the tank. We flipped the rear hubs, using the rear spacers and the front track is still slightly (2" maybe) wider due to the front spacers and deep dish bridge truck wheels.

im going to stay duels, dont like singles, duels give that big truck look, though the 819 by it self looks like a big truck

What is the width on the bridge truck running singles? Is it road legal w/o a permit?

I guess the width is something that you'd have to get stopped by a cop for, and then he'd have to measure it. The deuce is wide enough as it is, going through construction zones etc. I suppose a 5-ton is more challenging.

Our water truck is 8'-6" wide at the tank, and about 7'-10" at the rear tires with the reversed hubs and the deep dish wheels w/ 1400x20 tires. Mirrors are another story!

I'm a bit confused......did flipping the hubs result in widening the rear track width? I've just bought an M139, and it looks like the inside dual width is significantly narrower than the front axle. I would like to run re-centered stock wheels and 16.00-20s, but I want all 6 wheels to have the same offset, and track more or less the same. Either they need to be reversible, or looks like I could go your route. The pic is almost too much of a profile to see where the tires track relative to each other. Is the difference F/R 2" total or per side?
