I think the truck is in Vermont based on the guy's email address. A bit far for me too. But I'd just about buy it just to get the Dayton rim adapters. You guys that have the big eight lug Budds would benefit from having these things. They allow you to mount new tubeless 22.5 rims to your stock Budd hubs. Here's a better pic of one that's on Rod Kruithoff's F-7 firetruck.

 

why not use the mother of all axles- 2.5 ton rockwells?

add 46" michilins, 6bt cummins, NV4500 and a gearvendor and you got yourself a TRUCK man!
