Me either Troy. I just go to the neighbor with a bigger tractor. By the time you get to 300hp with tripple duals it usually moves.

Yeah Jay, it might be worth it. Truck seems pretty solid mechanically, an oil leak from up above somewhere. Maybe turbo pedestal? Some sway bar bushings too. Just needs to be cleaned good and have the body fixed up

I can't wait to see the truck Dave. It sure looks nice overall.

I have some issues with mine I need to check out. Not sure if it is my brake rotor getting goofy or if I have bearings going out. And I am loosing antifreeze somewhere. I am down about a gallon and not a single drip...

Well hopefully the leak is an easy one to fix. Cosmetic can be fixed relatively easy. The main thing is mechanically it is good!

Sounds like we need a gtg in the future to get some work done on these trucks. Maybe a two day event or something. I would like to have one out here I am thinking end of April or early May. I will know more on timing once I get all my goodys ordered up for the truck.

That's no good Jay. But we can figure that out.

That's the big thing Troy. As long as the truck works good, I can make it look better. A gtg might be good once I figure out what I'm gonna be doing with it.

Oh, and pictures really help this truck. It's rough, but so was the dually when I got it..

Edit: speaking of which I need a box if anyone sees a good clean short box.

You can't just replace the box sides?

Technically yes Chris but it makes more sense to replace the whole box on a MN truck if you can.

Yeah by the time I am ready for a gtg out here you should have a handle on what you all need done.

Along with what Jay said the labor invovled to replace both box sides is fairly invovled. If you can find a good box and just paint it you will actually be money and time ahead.
