    I sure do hate the thought of the white superdog getting picked clean.
  2. Ditchdiggerjcf
    X2. What do they cost.
  3. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Yep. Never the same faces in the parts dept for very long. It's like a revolving door there. Nobody sticks around long enough to learn the trade. I assume they don't pay very well.

    We had an old head like that at tri-state in LR. He has been gone a few years now. He could rattle off part #'s without even looking it up. I miss that level of expertise.

    The yellow valueliner is a good looking rig.

    I like the tall rubber too, but those 22" daytons with lopro 24.5's sure look nice.
  7. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Yep, they are heavy.

    A nail in tubeless is more than likely a slow leaker and can finish the day. A nail in tube type is flat in no time. It can't finish a day. One causes a truck to pull off the job, the other doesn't. I've noticed most on this board are collectors so it really doesn't matter in that instance. Run what you like and what looks good to you.

    Well, a nail in a tubeless tire = finish the day and call the tire guy. Nail in tube type = lost wages and call tire guy immediately I rarely repair either one, and definitely won't on the side of the road. Tube type is pita on a working truck.

    I was referring to the split retainer ring. Tire guys here will still do them, but nobody bothers with them anymore. Tubes are a pita.
  11. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Oh yes, I checked em out. There is an M36 on machinery trader that looks mean. I just wasn't sure if they built them small enough to be road legal like the articulating off road trucks you see on job sites.
  12. Ditchdiggerjcf
    It sure is small looking compared to modern off road dump trucks.
  13. Ditchdiggerjcf
    I throw away all those old tube type. Nobody wants to deal with the split rims anymore. I know I don't. Something about the rubber in those old tires, they last forever.
  14. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Asking alot. Those things are big money.
  15. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Wonder if those things are legal width?

    I have a buddy with an R on 22" dayton hubs. He is running lopro 24.5 rubber. It gives a good look.
  17. Ditchdiggerjcf
    I remember watching those races when I was a little feller. I always liked them.
  18. Ditchdiggerjcf
    You know more than one person asked if he had to put up a sign.
  19. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Then it would have been nice of you to start with a less complete truck rather than butchering a complete one. IMHO
  20. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Why go through so much trouble to put an inferior engine in that truck?
  21. Ditchdiggerjcf
    I see the slope on the hood much better in that first pic. It is much more pronounced than my west coasters.
  22. Ditchdiggerjcf
    I love my mack trucks, but they ain't go nothing on a detroit when it comes to the sound they make.
  23. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Looks like it is a class 8 truck that is shortened, and a pickup bed installed. Lots of work to put smaller rubber on it. Looks like its on 385 floats. I like it.
  24. Ditchdiggerjcf
    Pics?
  25. Ditchdiggerjcf
    That's slick.
