  1. Personally I think it would look better with a roof mounted fifth wheel hooked up to a 45,000 lb trailer!
  2. Sharp lookin' unit, job well executed. Look forward to seeing the finished DOG.
  3. You sure the 44k wasn't advertising current mileage after rollback?
  4. Wasn't there one like this at the Macungie 2012 show?
  5. I tend to agree with all of the above............accept the go green part.............just kiddin'
  6. I will keep your number handy, I was blessed enough, among other things, to have had to replace 4 within the last 5 months. Soon I should be back to work and replace the last 2
  7. Price is cheap enough, condition looks good. And truth be known both are alot better than the gas mileage, huh?
  8. Know any local firefighters, most of those guys could probly give you a good lead, and enjoy helping with your shared intrests.
  9. Sure hope you're having as much fun as you sound. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! And keep on truckin'
  10. Don't know exactly where Stoney Point is, but we have a shop within our area (1/2 hour) south of Corning, NY that stretches frames, install axles for wreckers and other trucks. If you need contact info let me know.
  11. Would not rule out a jeweler or watch shop either.
  12. I was informed recently, my last trip to Beam Mack in Elmira, NY a week ago that it wont be much longer and NY will be doing the puff test like NJ has been for awhile now.
  13. PA is more lax, MD is a no no, NY I would not trust, shit they do db readings on motorcycles, I avoid that state with my Sportster.
  14. Some states actually restrict any modifications to the exhaust.
  15. The first Toter I built I installed a "flattop" hitch on so I could still run a fifth wheel and haul others trailers or moves homes in order to keep busy. What I learned is that there was lots of very low paying moves to be had but hardly any profit margin to make worth while. Felt I could not afford to run the wheels off the truck and have no money to replace them, thereby being left driving junk. Decided to specialize in moving mobilehomes and leave the freight for those that have learned how to survive best moving freight to that niche. I have great empathy for you guys out there that run nice equipment and work steady as I know first hand you've worked damn hard to get there. I do not keep quite as busy as I like, but I have survived in an area of the marketplace bigger businesses like Bennett, Schnieder, Morgan, and other Toter firms felt I was doomed to fail without their leasing me on and controlling my every move. To date I have learned that it is wiser staying home and making no money, than to go to work run the wheels off my equipment and make no money. Two years ago I invested in a "shed trailer" to move outbuildings and last year bit the bullet on investing in a "sea container" trailer which is a Landoll style trailer designed to move one 40-45ft or two 20 footers. I have even looked into "U Ship" for fill in work in the past only to see guys hauling big truck loads for. 50-$2.00 per mile. Do not know about you guys but that is certainly not my idea of making an income.
  16. Assuming you already have a cdl.? I personally question their "rebuilt motor". Questionable at best from what I see from the outside pics. Be certain you can derive enough income to pay all the added expenses of running a larger truck. The guys on this forum would be much better on the overall picture. Truck itself doesn't look bad for the age, price sounds alittle off to me. Document rebuild, professional or back yard mechanic with Mickey's help? Tires aren't very good on the front. No matter what you buy prepare to invest in order to KNOW what you have. My 2 cents for what its worth. Good luck...........remember grades are more important than work at least for now........best wishes!
  17. Reverse the Dog Stance, @ least on this website. It would go over better! LOL
  18. I second that motion of drivers wanted section. Personally I am only employed seasonally and would love to find something near me for the winter / spring months. Used to do the PENNDOT thing as a winter loader operator and plow truck driver, but did not re apply for the last couple of years.
  19. More Americans are running in the direction of getting what they want, then realizing what they have. If companies started flying flags out front identifying the country that owned them I think we would all be in for a shocking reality check!
  20. I have an under the hood engine mounted air compressor for sale or trade. I had this mounted under the hood of a 1990 's F 450 with a 7.3 Diesel. It is liquid cooled v twin and will put out plenty enough air (175+) to run big impacts or for tire service. I originally purchased it from a local tire repair shop that was selling a former service truck. It runs off the same dual belt configuration as your truck just requires longer belts. Will take $500 or trade.
  21. Do not think you have to attend a school, just an approved 3rd party site that is qualified for testing purposes. You now have to have a permit for a set period of time prior to being able to get a license and drive alone. I lean toward agreeing with those that are advising you to get your license not only because of the DOT RAMBO TYPE mentality that is plentiful, but for the knowledge alone that you will gain to boost your confidence as well as your qualification level. Good luck!
  22. My 02 E7 350 somewhat did this when the throttle pedal went. If you put slight pressure on the pedal as it was revving it would calm back down, let up pressure it would race again.
