    I might be able to get a crane or a knuckle boom to put on it. If i do it be a boom truck which would be handy as a shirt pocket

    "That thing will make a real truck driver out of him. We are all soft from our cushy air cabs and big power and such anymore." Heck I think im in high cotton now with the dm. 300 hp and power steering, never had over 250hp and never had a ps truck before. If i ever drove a air ride truck with air cab i wouldnt know what to do with myself LOL

    Ohhh wow the roof is bad...... Would make a great truck as a long term project or to help keep another on the road. Id love to put the ac unit on my dm. Wouldnt mind having the v8 either but it might be a tight fit. I guess the v8 would fit they put them in U's and basically the same cab and hood

    Ive seen sleeper b's and a few a-cars but never seen a lj
  16. countryboy5487
    Ok well I decided to make the dm useful. Sense my venture of turning it into a sleeper tractor is going to take a while to find all the right things i want cause lets face it mercury sleepers are not a common item. But anyway i found a old gas IH at the junkyard that had a good flatbed, so after some discussions with the manager we settled on a price i could live with and i went and picked it up today. Now i can actually use the truck while i collect my conversion parts

    Caught this rougher shape R at the landfill
  18. countryboy5487
    Ok your right farmer i said wrong on the abs light. Sorry for mis leading info there
  19. countryboy5487
    I really like that chain drive dump looks to be in great shape
  20. countryboy5487
    For frozen brakes?
  21. countryboy5487
    Ok if your building the pup then no the abs wont give you any problems if you hook it up. The trailers that come factory with it and it stops working of the tractor doesnt have abs will set off the indicator light on the rear corner and it burns constant. Most around here unplug the light so it doesnt raise eyebrows
  22. countryboy5487
    What your describing sounds pretty typical of a mack (or any truck with a steel cab) of that era from around here so im used to rust in my neck of the woods. Id say the acar is prob a 220 or 230 just depends on if its nhc or not
  23. countryboy5487
    Ya i was very impressed with the harness i got. Everything fit like it should have, wires were the right lengh so the shell connectors all fit in their lil holders and had all the correct funky military style connectors. Havent heard of the guys in pa.... Have to look them up
  24. countryboy5487
    Cool old diamond t looks like a white 4000. Im guessin a wrecker body without the booms
  25. countryboy5487
